Dryers

Do not operate the dryer without a lint filter. Clean lint filters before or after each use and remove accumulated lint from around the drum. Clean the dryer vent and exhaust duct periodically.
Make sure that the dryer is plugged into an outlet suitable for its electrical needs as overloaded electrical outlets can result in blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers.
Turn the dryer off when leaving the home.
Keep the dryer area clear of combustibles (i.e., boxes or clothing).
Dryers should be installed and serviced by a professional.
Have gas-powered dryers inspected by a professional regularly to ensure that the gas line and connection are intact.
