SAFETY NOTICE

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a 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 fuels. Properly adjusted dryers will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized further by properly venting the dryers to the outdoors.

Most electric dryers use two. It is possible for one to be blown or tripped and the dryer still tumble without heat.

Large loads of moisture-holding fabrics, such as beach towels, take a long time to remove moisture.

Too many items in dryer. Dry only one washer load at a time. Do not combine loads.

Too few items in dryer. If drying only one article, add two more similar articles, even

if dry, to insure proper tumbling.

Some fabrics will shrink whether machine washed and tumble dried or washed by hand and drip dried; others may be safely washed but will shrink in a dryer. Follow Garment Manufacturers’ Care Labels exactly. If in doubt, do not machine wash or tumble dry.
