Important Safety Notice & Warning

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires the
Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the State of California to cause cancer or
reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposures to such substances.

Usersof this appliance are hereby warned that the burning of gas can result in low-level exposure to some
of the listed substances, including benzene, formaldehyde and soot, due primarily to the incomplete

combustion of natural gas or liquid petroleum (LP)fuels. Exhaust ducts should be kept free of obstructions
and properly exhausted dryers will minimize exposure.

IMPORTANT PERSONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Warning -- Toreduce the riskof fire, electric

shockor injury topersonswhen usingyour

appliance, follow basic precautions, includingthe
following:

.

Read all instructions before using the
appliance.

.

To avoid the possibility of fire or explosion:
a. Do not dry items that have been previously

cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or
spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning
solvents, other flammable or explosive

substances as they give off vapors that
could ignite or explode. Any material on

which you have used a cleaning solvent,
or which is saturated with flammable

liquids or solids, should not be placed in
the dryer, until all traces of these

flammable liquids or solids and their fumes
have been removed. There are many

highly flammable items used in homes,

such as: acetone, denatured alcohol,

gasoline, kerosene, some liquid household
cleaners, some spot removers, turpentine,

waxes and wax removers.

b.

Itemscontaining foam rubber (may be
labeled latex foam) or similarly textured

rubber-like materials must not be dried on
a heat setting. Foam rubber materials

when heated, can under certain
circumstance produce fire by spontaneous

combustion.

.

Do not allow children to play on or in the
appliance. Close supervision of children is

necessary when the appliance is used near
children.

4. Before the appliance is removed from service
or discarded, remove the door to the drying

compartment.

5. Do not reach into the appliance if the drum is
moving.

6. Do not install or store this appliance where it

will be exposed to the weather.

7. Do not tamper with controls.

8. Do not repair or replace any part of the

appliance or attempt any servicing unless
specifically recommended in published user-

repair instructions that you understand and
have the skills to carry out.

.

Do not use fabric softeners or products to

eliminate static unless recommended by the

manufacturer of the fabric softener or
product.
Clean the lint screen before or after each

load.
Keep the area around the exhaust opening

and surrounding areas free from lint
accumulation, dust and dirt.

12.

The interior of the dryer and exhaust duct
should be cleaned periodically by qualified

service personnel.

13.

Thisappliance must be properly grounded.

Never plug the appliance cord into a

receptacle which is not grounded adequately
and in accordance with local and national

codes. See installation instructions for
grounding this appliance.

WARNING

Do not place into your dryer items that have been
spotted or soaked with vegetable oil or cooking
oil. Even after being washed, these items may
contain significant amounts of these oils. The
remaining oil can ignite spontaneously. The

potential for spontaneous ignition increases when
the items containing vegetable oil or cooking oil

are exposed to heat. Heat sources, such as your
clothes dryer, can warm these items, allowing an

oxidation reaction in the oil to occur. Oxidation
creates heat. If this heat cannot escape, the items

can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling,
stacking or staring these kinds of items may
prevent heat from escaping and can create a fire

hazard.

All washed and unwashedfabrics that contain
vegetable oil or cookingoil can be dangerous.

Washing these itemsinhot water with extra
detergent will reduce,but will noteliminate, the
hazard. Always usethe "cool down" cyclefor
these itemsto reducethe items' temperature.
Never remove these itemsfrom the clothesdryer
hat or interruptthe drying cycle until the items
have run through the "cool down" cycle. Never
pile or stackthese itemswhen they are hot.
