Important Safety Information

!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 business to

warn consumers 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.

About Ground Wires

In the event of an electrical short circuit, a ground wire reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.

Standard accepted color coding for ground wires is green or green with a yellow stripe.

Grounding wires and wires colored like grounding wires are NOT to be used as current carrying conductors.

!WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious injury or death, all wiring and grounding must conform with the latest edition of the National Electric Code, ANSI/ NFPA 70, or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1, and such local regulations as might apply. It is the customer’s responsibility to have the wiring and fuses checked by a qualified electrician to make sure your home has adequate electrical power to operate the dryer.

!WARNING

To avoid risk of personal injury or death due to electrical shock:

•Observe all local codes and ordinances.

•Disconnect electrical power to unit before servicing.

•Ground appliance properly.

•Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure this appliance is properly grounded.

•DO NOT ground to gas line.

•DO NOT ground to cold water pipe if pipe is interrupted by plastic, non-metallic gaskets, or other insulating (non-conducting) materials.

•DO NOT modify plug on power cord. If plug does not fit electrical outlet, have proper outlet installed

by qualified electrician.

•DO NOT have a fuse in the neutral or ground circuit. A fuse in the neutral or ground circuit could result in an electrical shock.

•DO NOT use an extension cord with this appliance.

•DO NOT use an adapter plug with this appliance.
