IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

The

California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act requires the governor of
California to publish a list of substances known
to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm and requires businesses to warn
customers of potential exposure to such substances,

Gas appliances can cause minor exposure
to four of these substances, namely benzene,
carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot,
caused primarily by the incomplete combustion
of natural gas or

Properly adjusted dryers will minimize incomplete
combustion. Exposure to these substances can be
minimized further by properly venting the dryers
to the outdoors.

● Sort clothes by weight so you won’t have to run an extra cycle for one

or two heavier, slower-drying items.

● Do not overload your dryer. For efficient drying, clothes need

to tumble freely.

● To help prevent ironing, use Knits/Low Heat. Remove garments

promptly at end of drying cycle and place on hangers.

Q

Dry your clothes in consecutive loads. Using a “warm” dryer

will save energy.

Good sorting for the dryer begins at the washer. Generally, if clothes are

sorted right for washing, they’re sorted right for drying. See the How to
