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 incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized
further by properly venting the dryer to the outdoors.

(lint, paper, rags, etc.), gasoline, chemicals
and other flammable vapors and liquids.
nKeep the floor around your appliances clean

nClose supervision is necessary if this appliance
is used by or near children. Do not allow children to
play on, with or inside this or any other appliance.
nKeep all laundry aids (such as detergents,

nDo 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.
nDo not place items exposed to cooking oils in your
dryer. tems contaminated with cooking oils may
contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause
a clothes load to catch fire
.
nAny 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.
nThe laundry process can reduce the flame
retardancy of fabrics. To avoid such a result,
carefully follow the garment manufacturer’s
care instructions.
nDo not dry articles containing rubber, plastic, foam
or similar materials such as padded bras, tennis
shoes, galoshes, bath mats, rugs, bibs, baby pants,
plastic bags, pillows, etc., that may melt or burn.
Some rubber materials, when heated, can under
certain circumstances produce fire by
spontaneous combustion.
nDo not store plastic, paper or clothing that may
burn or melt on top of the dryer during operation.
nGarments labeled :A?*A/:75.*< or 7 7<

nDo not dry fiberglass articles in your dryer.
Skin irritation could result from the remaining

during subsequent dryer uses.
nTo minimize the possibility of electric shock, unplug
this appliance from the power supply or disconnect
the dryer at the building’s distribution panel by
removing the fuse or switching off the circuit
breaker before attempting any maintenance or
cleaning (except the removal and cleaning of the

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

used in your dryer. Service or performance
