WARNING

State of California Proposition 65 Warnings:

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement 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 of potential exposure to such 

substances. 

WARNING

This product contains one or more chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or 

other reproductive harm. 

Gas appliances can cause low-level exposure to some of these substances, including benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and 

soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels.  Exposure to these substances can be minimized by 

properly venting the dryer to the outdoors.
