Washer & Dryer
- Always remove lint from the trap before use.
- Regularly check the dryer exhaust vent hose(s) behind the dryer. Bends and lint buildup can block airflow.
- Promptly vacuum debris, especially fluffy debris, as this material is highly flammable and a small spark can set it on fire.
- Never place rubber, plastic, foam, or any other material that made contact with flammable liquids in the dryer, even if it has been washed.
- Never leave a dryer running while sleeping or if you are away from home.
