SAFETY

~STRUCTIONS

Read all before wing appliance.

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 and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to three of these substances, namely benzene, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels. Properly adjusted dryers will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized further by properly venting the dryers to the outdoors.
