Prevent Dryer Fires
circlebullet.jpgCLEAN THE FILTER SCREEN AFTER EACH LOAD

This will keep the vent clear. When accumulated lint clogs the vent, the dryer can overheat and a fire could result.

circlebullet.jpgSTAY HOME WHILE THE DRYER IS IN USE!

Turn off the dryer before leaving the house.

circlebullet.jpgCLEAN VENTS OUTSIDE.

Twice a year you should clean the plastic hose pipe that vents to the outside. Use the vacuum cleaner to suck out accumulated dust and lint.

circlebullet.jpgVACUUM THE MOTOR AREA.

The dust and lint in the vent pipe can ignite if it gets hot enough. Vacuum the motor area if you can get to it. You may have to remove a panel to get at it.

circlebullet.jpgCLEAN COMMERCIAL DRYER VENTS REGULARLY.

Commercial dryers get a lot of use and will have a common venting system. It is extremely important to have the vent systems cleaned regularly.

circlebullet.jpgDON'T DRY MOP HEADS.

The dryer's heat can ignite the cleaning chemical residue on mop heads.

circlebullet.jpgKEEP SURROUNDING AREA CLEAR.

Don't leave clothing or other ordinary combustibles too close to the dryer. The dryer's heat may ignite them.
