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.

• This appliance must be exhausted to the outdoors.

These conditions will obstruct dryer airflow and increase the risk of fire.

and or weather.
