Caution!
California Safe Drinking Water and
Toxic Enforcement Act
This 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 LP fuels.
Properly adjusted dryers will minimize
combustion. Exposure to these substances
can be minimized further by properly venting
the dryer to the outdoors.

Here are some tips that may help you
before you begin tumble drying.
Have the clothes been through a
spin cycle?
Items to be tumble dried should be spun
at 1000 rpm or faster. Higher spin speeds
save both energy and drying time.
Laundry labels
Materials that can be tumble dried
This symbol means that the material
is suitable for tumble drying. Fabrics best
suited to tumble drying are cotton fabrics,
terry cloth, and synthetic bers. Garments
will be softer and lighter when tumbled than
when hung out to dry.
Note!
The tumble dryer does not cause any
signicant wear to fabrics. The lint trapped
in the lint lter consists of dust and ber
residues which gather when the items are
used.
Materials that should not be tumble
dried
This symbol means that the material
is not suitable for tumble drying. Certain
materials may melt or become a re hazard
if exposed to heat and others can lose their
shape or shrink
Do not tumble dry
• Materials labeled “Do not dry near heat”.
• Garments that have been dry-cleaned at
home.
• Plastic foam.
• Fiberglass material.
• Wool must not be tumble dried due to
the risk of piling.
Note!
If the door is opened during the program,
the program will be interrupted and will
return to the start. The clothes may be too
damp or too dry as a result.
Caution!
Fire Hazard
No washer can completely remove oil.
Do not dry anything that has ever had any
type of oil on it (including cooking oils).
Items containing foam, rubber, or plastic
must be air dried. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in death or re.
Explosion Hazard
Keep ammable materials and vapors, such
as gasoline, away from the dryer.
Do not dry anything that has ever had
anything ammable on it (even after
washing). Failure to follow these instructions
can result in death, explosion, or re.
