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.

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of malfunction
or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock
by providing a path of least resistance for electric current. This
appliance must be equipped with a cord having an equipment-
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance. If it will not fit
the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This appliance must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent
wiring system or an equipment-grounding conductor must be
run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment-
grounding terminal or lead on the appliance.
Electric shock can result if the dryer is not properly grounded.
