including the following:
• Read all instructions before using the dryer.
• Before use, the dryer must be properly installed as
described in this manual.

CALIFORNIA SAFE DRINkING WATER AND TOxIC ENFORCEMENT ACT
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.
• Do not use fabric softeners or products to eliminate static
unless recommended by the manufacturer of the fabric
softener or product.
• Do not use heat to dry articles containing foam rubber or
similarly textured rubber-like materials.
• Keep area around the exhaust opening and adjacent
surrounding areas free from the accumulation of lint,
dust, and dirt.
• The interior of the dryer and exhaust vent should be
cleaned periodically by qualified service personnel.
• Do not install or store the dryer where it will be exposed
to the weather.
• Always check the inside of the dryer for foreign objects.
• Clean lint screen before or after each load.
• Do not store plastic, paper, or clothing that may burn
or melt on top of the dryer during operation.
• Be careful when opening and closing the door. Fingers
and hands can get caught in the door and cause injury if
the door drops forward unexpectedly.
• Do not place heavy items on or lean against the top
of the door when it is open.
• Do not attempt to pull the hamper door open more
than 40 degrees.
• The dryer could tip forward, causing injury or damage.
• Do not place items on the top of the dryer.
