Decreto para hacer cumplir las leyes sobre tó icos y agua potable de California
Este decreto requiere que el Gobernador de California publique una lista de las sustancias que el estado sabe
que causan cáncer, defectos de nacimiento y otros daños reproductivos y requiere que los comerciantes le
adviertan a sus consumidores sobre el potencial de exposición a tales sustancias.
Los electrodomésticos de gas pueden causar la exposición a cuatro de estas sustancias, concretamente
benceno, monóxido de carbono, formaldehído y hollín, principalmente causados por la combustión incompleta
del gas natural o de combustibles LP.
Cuando las secadoras están ajustadas apropiadamente, se minimiza la combustión incompleta. La exposición
a estas sustancias puede minimizarse aún más ventilando apropiadamente la secadora hacia el exterior.
¡ADV RT NCIA!
Por su seguridad, debe seguir las indicaciones de este manual para minimizar el riesgo
de incendio o explosión, descarga eléctrica, o para evitar daños a la propiedad, lesiones
personales, o muerte.
QUÉ HAC R SI UST D HU L GAS:
No intente encender un fósforo,
o un cigarrillo, o encender cualquier
electrodoméstico eléctrico o de gas.
No toque ningún interruptor eléctrico;
no use ningún teléfono en el edificio.
Desocupe el habitación, edificio o área
afectada.
Llame inmediatamente a su proveedor
de gas usando el teléfono de algún
vecino. Siga las instrucciones del
proveedor de gas cuidadosamente.
Si usted no puede ponerse en contacto
con su proveedor de gas, llame al
departamento de bomberos.

SU ÁREA DE SECADO
■Mantenga el área debajo y alrededor de sus
electrodomésticos libre de materiales combustibles
(pelusas, papel, trapos, etc.), gasolina, productos
químicos y otros líquidos y vapores inflamables.
■Mantenga el piso alrededor de sus electrodomésticos
limpios y secos para reducir la posibilidad de
un accidente.
■Supervise a los niños en caso de que ellos usen
la secadora o jueguen cerca de ella durante su
operación. No permita que los niños jueguen con
la secadora, en su interior, sobre ella o ningún
otro electrodoméstico.
■Mantenga todos los artículos de limpieza (tales
como detergentes y blanqueadores) fuera del
alcance de los niños, preferiblemente encerrados
en un gabinete. Ponga atención a las advertencias
en las etiquetas de los envases para evitar
accidentes.
■Nunca trepe ni se ponga de pie sobre la parte
superior de la secadora.
CUANDO USE SU SECADORA
■Nunca introduzca sus manos en el interior de
la secadora mientras el tambor giratorio esté
moviéndose. Antes de agregar y sacar ropa, espere
hasta que el tambor giratorio se haya detenido.
■Limpie el filtro de pelusa antes de cada carga
para evitar la acumulación de pelusa en el interior
de la secadora o en la habitación. NO OP R LA
S CADORA SIN L FILTRO D P LUSA N SU LUGAR.
■No lave ni seque artículos que se hayan limpiado,
lavado, remojado o salpicado con sustancias
combustibles o explosivas (tales como cera, aceite,
pintura, gasolina, desengrasadores, solventes de
tintorería, kerosene). Estas sustancias producen
vapores que podrían incendiarse o explotar. No
agregue estas sustancias al agua de lavado. No
use ni coloque estas sustancias alrededor de la
lavadora o secadora durante su uso.
■No coloque artículos expuestos a aceite de cocinar
en la secadora. Los artículos contaminados con
aceites de cocinar podrían contribuir a formar una
reacción química que podría causar que una carga
de ropas se incendie.
■Cualquier artículo sobre el cual usted usó un
solvente de limpieza o que contenga materiales
inflamables (tales como paños de limpieza,
trapeadores, toallas usadas en salones de belleza,
restaurantes o barberías) no se deben colocar en
el interior o en las proximidades de la secadora.
Existen muchos artículos inflamables en el hogar
tales como la acetona, el alcohol, la gasolina,
el kerosene, algunos limpiadores, algunos
quitamanchas, aguarrás, trementina, ceras,
removedores de cera y productos que contengan
derivados del petróleo.
■El proceso de lavado puede reducir la habilidad
de retardar la flamabilidad de algunas telas.
Para evitar tal resultado, siga las instrucciones
del fabricante de las telas con mucho cuidado.
■No seque artículos que contengan goma, plástico,
espuma o materiales similares tales como
sostenes (brasieres) con relleno, zapatos deportivos,
ganchos de goma, alfombras de baño, baberos
de niño, pantalones de niño, bolsas plásticas y
almohadas que se puedan derretir o quemar.
Algunos materiales gomosos, cuando se calientan,
bajo ciertas circunstancias podrían incendiarse por
combustión espontánea.
■Durante su operación, no almacene encima
de la secadora plásticos, papel o ropa que se
puedan quemar o derretir.
■Las prendas de vestir etiquetadas “Dry away from
heat” (Secar alejadas del calor) o “Do not tumble
dry” (No secar por giro)—tales como chaquetas
salvavidas que contienen capoc—no se deben
colocar en su secadora.
■No seque artículos de fibra de vidrio en su secadora.
Esto podría ocasionar irritación en la piel debido a
las partículas restantes que se podrían adherir a la
ropa durante usos subsecuentes de la secadora.
■Para minimizar la posibilidad de una descarga
eléctrica, desconecte éste electrodoméstico de su
tomacorriente o desconecte la secadora del panel
de distribución eléctrica del edificio removiendo el
fusible o desconectando el circuito antes de dar
cualquier tipo de mantenimiento o limpieza (con
la excepción de remover y limpiar el filtro de la
pelusa). NOTA: Girar la perilla selectora de ciclos
a la posición O (apagado) o presionar PAUSE NO
desconecta el electrodoméstico del tomacorriente.

limpiar por lo menos una vez al año por parte de
un técnico calificado. Ver la sección Cómo cargar
y usar la secadora.

encendido eléctrico automático comience.
■Es posible que usted desee suavizar su ropa
o reducir la electricidad estática en ella usando
una toalla suavizante para secadora o un
acondicionador antiestático. Recomendamos
que usted use un suavizante de telas en el ciclo
de lavado, de acuerdo con las instrucciones
del fabricante para estos productos, o trate un
producto en el que el fabricante le proporcione
una garantía escrita en el paquete especificando
que es seguro para usar en las secadoras. Los
problemas de servicio o de rendimiento causados
por estos productos son responsabilidad de
los fabricantes de estos productos y no están
cubiertos por la garantía de éste electrodoméstico.
