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
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.
WARNING-To reduce the risk
of fire, electric shock, or injury
to persons when using your
apptice, fo~ow
including the following:
● Use this appliance only for its
intended purpose
this Use and Care Book.
● This dryer must be properly
instilled and located in
accordance with the Installation
Instructions before it is used. If
you did not receive an Installation
Instructions sheet with your dryer,
you can obtain one by contacting
the service location nearest you.
—Properly ground to conform
with all governing codes and
ordinances.
Instillation Instructions.
—Locate where the temperature
is above
satisfactory operation of the
dryer control system. Do not
install or store the dryer where it
will be exposed to the weather.

There are many highly flammable
items used in homes such as:
acetone, denatured alcohol,
gasoline, kerosene, some
