The

Crdifornia

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 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

fuels. Properly adjusted dryers will

minimize incomplete combustion.

Exposure to these substances can

be minimized further by properly

venting the dryers to the outdoors.

Do not overload dryer; clothes should tumble freely. Remove promptly as soon as dryer stops, place clothes on hangers to

minimize wrinkling.

Dry silks and wools in your dryer only if recommended by the garment manufacturer. Follow instructions carefully.

Tumble drying is mandatory. Down must be thoroughly dried to remove odor and prevent mildewing. Place two large, dry towels in the

dryer to improve tumbling and shorten drying time. Be sure to dry thoroughly.

IMPORTANT. If children’s

sleepwear is made of

Modacrylic,

tumble dry only on Low Heat. High Heat can damage these fabrics.

Check manufacturer’s drying instructions.

See above instructions.

Place in dryer with 3

4 dry towels which have been heated for 5 minutes. Set timer for 20 to 25 minutes. Do not set control for more than

25 minutes. Do only one blanket at a time. Remove blanket at end of cycle and block blanket back to original shape. Press binding with warm

iron. Allow to dry before storing.

Use dry towels as buffers. Set timer for 20 minutes. If items are still wet, reset for 15 minutes and check again. Items should be removed while

still damp. Place slipcovers on furniture immediately. Hang draperies and curtains so that creases will fall out. Stop dryer periodically and check

filter for excess lint. Remove and restart dryer.

Tumble on FLUFF (No Heat) setting as heat may cause alteration in shape, color and appearance of such articles.

Stop dryer periodically and check filter for excess lint. Remove and restart dryer.

Speciu/precaution.r must be taken for extra-large items. Set dryer for

Set 15 minutes for second setting, check

again; and 5 minutes for each additional setting. Make sure that article does not fill drum. Many large articles, when wet, have ample room in

dryer, but as they dry and fluff up may not have room to tumble. Check carefully every few minutes and if article is still wet or damp and fills

dryer, finish drying on line. Do not, under any circumstances operate dryer for longer times without checking. CAUTION: If large items do not

have room to tumble, the air flow may be blocked which could result in scorching your valuable items. Many large items, like shag rugs, cannot

be dried in home size dryers. DO NOT fumble

d~jackets

containing Kapok. (See filter cleaning instructions above.)

Check ticking for holes or weak seams where feathers or filling could escape. Dry no more than one

pillow

at a time and set dryer for maximum

time. Stop dryer occasionally and shake pillows to redistribute filling for more even drying. Check pillows at end of drying time. If they are not

completely dry, return them to dryer and reset for more drying time. Feather pillows dry very slowly and must be dried completely to prevent

mildewing.

Improper sorting. Do not mix heavy, hard-to-dry items with lightweight articles.

Large loads of moisture-holding fabrics, such as beach towels, take a long time to

remove moisture.
