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.

in Installation Instructions.
nInstall or store where it will not be exposed to
temperatures below freezing or exposed to
the weather.
nConnect to a properly rated, protected and sized
power supply circuit to avoid electrical overload.
nRemove the colored protective film from both the
control panel and the door.
nRemove all sharp packing items and dispose of all
shipping materials properly.
nDo not remove the vent protector from the back of
the dryer (on some models).
nPull the protector out and down to its lowest
position and connect the exhaust duct to the dryer.
The lowered protector will prevent the duct from
getting crushed (on some models).
nKeep area around the exhaust opening and
adjacent surrounding areas free from the
accumulation of lint, dust, and dirt.

nKeep the area underneath and around your
appliances free of combustible materials
(lint, paper, rags, etc.), gasoline, chemicals
and other flammable vapors and liquids.
nKeep the floor around your appliances clean
and dry to reduce the possibility of slipping.
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, bleaches,
etc.) out of the reach of children, preferably in a
locked cabinet. Observe all warnings on container
labels to avoid injury.
nNever climb on or stand on the dryer top.

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. Items 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 9@>(@-964,(; or 66;

must not be put in your dryer.
nDo 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.
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
lint filter). "#' Pressing &'%'$(&or $#*%

nThe 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 6(+05.(5+$:05.;/,9@,9section.
nIf yours is a gas dryer, it is equipped with an
automatic electric ignition and does not have
a pilot light. #"#'''!$''# '*'
!'Burns may result from having your hand

ignition turns on.
nDo not open the dryer door during steam cycles.
The steam is very hot and it will continue to
exhaust from the part for several seconds after
opening. Do not touch the steam part after a
steam cycle.
nDo not use steam cycle with items such as wool,
leather, silk, lingerie, foam products or electric
blankets.
nDo not use heat to dry articles containing foam
rubber or similarly textured rubber-like materials.
nDo 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.
nYou may wish to soften your laundered fabrics
or reduce the static electricity in them by using
a dryer-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. Service or performance problems
caused by use of these products are the
responsibility of the manufacturers of those
products and are not covered under the

The duct blockage system automatically
monitors, detects and alerts you to
blockages in the ductwork. Blocked
ductwork can degrade dryer performance by
reducing airflow from the dryer. If you

As a general rule, if clothes are sorted
properly for the washer, they are sorted
properly for the dryer. Try also to sort items
according to size. For example, do not dry a
sheet with socks or other small items.

the load has become warm. They may
cause fabric softener stains. Bounce®
