Thousands
of dryer fires are caused by lint every year, yet they can be easily
prevented with a few minutes of cleaning. Learn where lint is, how to
get at it, and the best way to clean it out.
Get the lint out
Dryer fires start when built-up lint near the motor, gas burners or
heating elements catches on fire. This fire can then spread to ignite
lint in the vent pipe. The best precautions are to empty the lint trap
after every load, vacuum behind the machine regularly, keep flammables
away from the dryer, and annually clean lint from inside the dryer
cabinet and vent duct. We show how to “de-lint” a gas dryer with a front
access panel. Electric dryers have a heating element instead of a gas
burner. If you have an electric dryer, or your dryer differs from the
one shown, consult your manual for instructions on accessing the heating
element or cabinet interior.The most important step in cleaning the
dryer is to remove any lint buildup around the motor and gas burner or
heating element. Then clean out the vent duct with a 4-in. dryer vent
cleaning brush (sold at appliance repair stores, or online). The plastic
ducting itself can catch on fire and set the house ablaze. If your
dryer has a plastic vent ducting, replace it with a metal one.
Beautiful painting but definitely orange with hints of red, not a true red. I had to return because it was not the bold color I was looking for, as it appeared in the listing. canvas painting buy
