Cafifomia Safe Drinking Water and ToxicEnforcement Act
This act requires the governor of California to publish a list of substances hloxm to the state to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive haml and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure
to such substances.
(;as appliances can cause minor exposure to fbur of these substances, namely benzene, carbon monoxide,
fbrmaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fimls.
Properly adjusted dryers _4ll minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be
minimized further by properly venting the duer to the outdoors.

• Do not wash or dry articles that have been
cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted
with combustible or explosive substances
(such as wax, oil, paint, gasoline, degreasers, •
dry-cleaning solvents, kerosene, etc.) which
may ignite or explode. Do not add these
substances to the wash water. Do not use or
place these substances around your washer •
or dryer during operation.
• Any article on which you have used a cleaning
solvent or that contains flammable materials
(such as cleaning cloths, mops, towels used in
beauty salons, restaurants, or barber shops,
etc.) must not be placed in or near the dryer
until solvents or flammable materials have
been removed. There are many highly
flammable items used in homes such as
acetone, denatured alcohol, gasoline,
kerosene, some household cleaners, some spot
removers, turpentines, waxes, wax removers •
and products containing petroleum distillates.
The laundry process can reduce the flame
retardancy ofi_tbrics. To avoid such a resuh,
carefully ibllow the garment manufacturer's
care instructions.
Do not dry articles containing rubber, plastic,
or similar materials such as padded bras, tennis
shoes, galoshes, bath mats, rugs, bibs, baby
pants, plastic bags, pillows, etc. that may meh
or burn. Some rubber materials, when heated,
can under certain circumstances produce fire
by spontaneous combustion.
Do not store plastic, paper or clothing that
may burn or meh on top of the dryer during
operation.
Garments labeled Dry Away from Heat or Do
Not rumble Dry (such as life jackets containing
Kapok) must not be put in your dryer.
Do not dry fiberglass articles in your dryer.
Skin irritation could result from the remaining
particles that may be picked up by clothing
during subsequent dryer uses.
To minimize the possibility of electric shock,
unplug this appliance fl'om the power supply
or disconnect the &Ter at the household
distribution panel by removing the fllse or
switching off the circuit breaker before
attempting any maintenance or cleaning
(except the removal and cleaning of the lint
filter). NOTE:Turning the Cycle Selector knob
to an OFFposition does NOTdisconnect the
appliance fi'om the power supply.
Do not spray any type of aerosol into, on or
near dtTer at any time.
Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in
your dryer. Items contaminated with cooking
oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that
could cause a load to catch fire.
Never attempt to operate this appliance if
it is damaged, malflmctioning, partially
disassembled, or has missing or broken parts,
including a damaged cord or plug.
The interior of the machine and the exhaust
duct connection inside the dryer should be
cleaned at least once a year by a qualified
technician. See the Loading and Using the Dryer
section. Do not use any type of spray cleaner
when cleaning dryer interior. Hazardous imnes
or electrical shock could occur.
If yours is a gas &Ter, it is equipped with an
automatic elecu'ic ignition and does not have
a pilot light. DONOTATTEMPTTOLIGHTWITH
A MATCH.Burns may resuh fi'om having your
hand in the vicinity of the burner when the

You may wish to soften your laundered fabrics
or reduce the static electricity in them by using
a drye>applied fabric softener or an anti-static
conditioner. We recommend you use either a
fabric softener in the wash cycle, according to
the manufacturer's instructions for those
products, or try a dryer-added product for
which the manufacturer gives written
assurance on the package that their product
can be safely used in your dryer. Set_'ice or

\1/.-_., CareandCleaningof theDryer
TheExterior:Wipe or dust any spills or washing
compounds with a damp cloth. D_Ter control
panel and finishes may be damaged by some
laun& T pretreatment soil and stain remover
products. Apply these products away from the
duer. The fabric may then be washed and dried
normally. Damage to your dlTer caused by these
products is not covered by your warranty.
TheExhaustDuct:Inspect and clean the exhaust
ducting at least once a year to prevent clogging.
A partially clogged exhaust can lengthen the
dtTing time.
Follow these steps:
Z] Turn off electrical supply by disconnecting
the plug fl'om the wall socket.
The LintFilter: Clean the lint filter beibre each
use. Remove by pulling straight up. Run your
fingers across the filter. A waxy build-up may form
on the lint filter from using due>added fabric
softener sheets. To remove this buil&up, wash the
lint screen in warm, soapy water. DUthoroughly
and replace. Do not operate the dtTer without the
lint filter in place.
Have a qualified technician vacuum the lint
fi'om the dtTer once a year.
[2--]Disconnect the duct from the d_Ter.
[-_ Vacuum the duct with the hose attachment
and reconnect the duct.
TheExhaustHood:Check with a mirror that the
inside flaps of the hood move freely when
operating. Make sure that there is not wildlife
(birds, insects, etc.) nesting inside the duct or
hood.

Exhaust Ducting Length
The exhaust system should be inspected and cleaned
at least once a year _dth nomml usage. The more the
dUeT is used, the more often you should check the
exhaust system and vent hood for proper operation.
Kroofvents or louvered plenums are used, they must
be equivalent to a 4" dampered wall cap in regard to
resistance to aid]ow, prevention of back drafts and
maintenance required to prevent clogging.
•DONOTassemble the duct work with fksteners that
extend into the duct. They will serve as collection
points for lint.
•Ductworkwhich rims through an unheated area or
is near an air conditioning duct should be insulated
to reduce condensation and lint build-up.

Grounding Requirements
ADANGER:Improperconnectionofthe

of electric shock. Check with a licensed elecu'ician if
you are in doubt a_sto whether the appliance is
properly grounded.

reduce the risk of electrical shock by creating
a path of least resistance fbr electrical current.
[_ If your duer is equipped with a power supply
cord having an equipment-_'ounding conductor
and a grounding plug, tile plug MUSTbe plugged
into an appropriate, copper-wired receptacle that
is properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances. Ifin doubt, call
