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, formalde-
hyde, and soot, due primarily to the incomplete com-
bustion of natural gas or liquid petroleum (LP) fuels.
Exhaust ducts should be kept free of obstructions and
properly exhausted dryers will minimize exposure.
IMPORTANT: Because of continuing
product improvements, Maytag reserves
the right to change specifications without
notice. For complete details, see the
Installation Instructions packed with your
product before selecting cabinetry, mak-
ing cutouts or beginning installation.
