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.

n Keep the area underneath and around your
appliances free of combustible materials
(lint, paper, rags, etc.), gasoline, chemicals
and other flammable vapors and liquids.
n Keep the floor around your appliances clean
and dry to reduce the possibility of slipping.
n Close supervision is necessary if this appliance
is used near children. Do not allow children to
play
on, with or inside this or any other appliance.
n Keep 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.
n Never climb on or stand on the dryer top.
(!'%!)"'$$)$
n Never reach into the dryer while the drum is
moving. Before loading, unloading or adding
clothes, wait until the drum has completely
stopped.
n Clean the lint filter before each load to prevent
lint accumulation inside the dryer or in the room.

"""
n Do 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.). These substances give off
vapors that 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.
n Do 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
.
n Any 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. 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.
n The laundry process can reduce the flame
retardancy of fabrics. To avoid such a result,
carefully follow the garment manufacturer’s
care instructions.
n Do 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.
n Do not store plastic, paper or clothing that may
burn or melt on top of the dryer during operation.
n Garments labeled :A?*A/:75.*< or 7!7<
&=5+4.:A(such as life jackets containing Kapok)
must not be put in your dryer.
n Do 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.
n To minimize the possibility of electric shock, unplug
this appliance from the power supply or
disconnect the dryer at the household 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). " Turning the Cycle Selector knob
to an off position, or pressing PAUSE does "
disconnect the appliance from the power supply.

n Never attempt to operate this appliance
if it is damaged, malfunctioning, partially
disassembled, or has missing or broken parts,
including a damaged cord or plug.
n The 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
7*-260*6-';260<1.:A.:section.
n If 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
in the vicinity of the burner when the automatic
ignition turns on.
n You 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 warranty
to this appliance.

n Grasp the plug firmly when disconnecting this
appliance to avoid damage to the cord while
pulling. Place the cord away from traffic areas
so it will not be stepped on, tripped over or
subjected to damage.

Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of
this appliance or attempt any servicing unless
specifically recommended in this Owner’s Manual
or in published user-repair instructions that you
understand and have the skills to carry out.
n Before discarding a dryer, or removing it from
service, remove the dryer door to prevent children
from hiding inside.

touch a moisture sensor. The sensor will
stop the heating cycle as soon as the
