Important Safety
Notice & Warning
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires the
Governor of California to publish a list of substances
known to the State of California to cause cancer or
reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn
customers of potential exposures to such substances.
Users of this appliance are hereby warned that the
burning of gas can result in low–level exposure to some
of the listed substances, including benzene,
formaldehyde, and soot, due primarily to the
incomplete combustion of natural gas or liquid
petroleum (LP) fuels. Exhaust ducts should be kept free
of obstructions and properly exhausted dryers will
minimize exposure.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Do not place into your dryer items that have been
spotted or soaked with vegetable oil or cooking oil.
Even after being washed, these items may contain
significant amounts of these oils. The remaining oil
can ignite spontaneously. The potential for
spontaneous ignition increases when the items
containing vegetable oil or cooking oil are exposed to
heat. Heat sources, such as your dryer, can warm
these items, allowing an oxidation reaction in the oil
to occur. Oxidation creates heat. If this heat cannot
escape, the items can become hot enough to catch
fire. Piling, stacking or storing these kinds of items
may prevent heat from escaping and can create a fire
hazard.
All washed and unwashed fabrics that contain
vegetable oil or cooking oil can be dangerous.
Washing these items in hot water with extra
detergent will reduce, but will not eliminate, the
hazard. Always use the “cool down” cycle for these
items to reduce the items’ temperatur
e.
Never
remove these items fr
om the clothes dryer hot or
interrupt the drying cycle until the items have run
through the “cool down” cycle.
Never pile or stack
these items when they are hot.
