WARNING - Gas Appliances:
• State of California Proposition 65 Warning (US only)
This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and
birth defects or other reproductive harm.
• Gas appliances can cause low-level exposure to Proposition 65 listed substances,
including but not limited to, benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot,
substances resulting from the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels.
WARNING - Risk of Fire
• Clothes dryer installation must be performed by a qualied installer.
• Install the clothes dryer according to the manufacturer’s instructions and local codes.
• Do not install a clothes dryer with exible plastic venting materials. If exible metal
(foil type) duct is installed, it must be of a specic type identied by the appliance
manufacturer as suitable for use with clothes dryers. Flexible venting materials are
known to collapse, be easily crushed, and trap lint. These conditions will obstruct

1. Read all instructions before using this appliance.
2. Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in,
or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other ammable or explosive

such as vegetable oil, cooking oil, machine oil, ammable chemicals, paint thinner, etc.,
or anything containing wax or chemicals, such as mops and cleaning cloths. Flammable
