There are some "do's and don'ts"
for your dryer
Do Is:
Do make sure that your dryer is connected to a
220 volt power source and is perfectly level. The dryer will work
with 110 volt power, but you are starving the equipment for energy
and will end up burning Up the dryer. Having your dryer working
in an uneven condition will cause extra wear on rollers arid felt
pads and will cause expensive service problems.
Do make sure that the dryer is vented to the outside.
Venting a gas dryer into the air can kill you and your family by
infusing carbon monoxide and countless other poisons into the a1r.
Venting an electric dryer into the inside may not kill you, but
it will still inject impurities from chlorine bleach, fabric softener,
lint and dust, etc., into the air and adversely effect your family's
lungs and allergies. period chlorine. Over a period of time the
chlorine will even corrode your plumbing.
Do make certain that the length of the vent line
running between the dryer and the vent is not more than 14 feet
with a metal elbow at the carver arid the vent.
Do make certain that the dryer vent line is the
"old fash¬ioned" rigid metal vent.
Flexible plastic vent lines are easier to install. But please folks,
do not use them. They are illegal in some areas. They are nothing
but fire traps and could kill you.
Don'ts:
Do not use screws to fasten the joints of the vent
line to¬gether. Use duct tape for fastening. Screws form little
lint traps inside the vent line and can cause a fire hazard.
Do not dry vegetable oil soaked dishcloths in your
dryer after washing. They still contain enough oil to be a fire
hazard and could burn your house down.
Do not store flammable materials near or on top
of the dryer.
Do not close laundry room doors or restrict the
amount of fresh air available to the dryer. You need 200 cubic feet
of air per minute to operate the dryer properly.
Don't dry fluffy sweaters using fabric static sheets.
Don't operate your dryer while you shop, sleep,
or are not in the vicinity. A dryer is a very handy, but potentially
a very dangerous appliance. Please believe me, ten minutes of inattention
could Cost you your house, maybe your loved ones lives. When you
load a dryer put the clothes in singly, or at least in small handfuls.
Do not just throw in a great big jumbled up lump
of clothing into the dryer. It can throw the dryer out of kilter
and cause permanent damage to the mechanism.
Never overload a dryer. The weight of the wet clothing
can cause enough strain to break the rubber belts that turn the
drum and will cause increased wear on the rollers causing premature
replacement.
Under loading a dryer can also create problems
because the clothing is not tumbling properly. If you only have
a few things to dry add a couple of towels to the load and you will
increase the dryer's efficiency.
Make certain that all clothing you dry in a dryer
has gone through the spin dry cycle in the washing machine. If you
notice that the clothing coming out of the washing machine after
the spin dry cycle is still very wet it means that the washer was
overloaded, or that the washer is not spinning fast enough for some
reason. Water draining from over wet clothing can drip on the ignitor
or the electric heating element and cause a short. An accumulation
of
water inside the machine can cause rust inside the dryer and it
will stains on your new white shirts can make you a very unhappy
camper.
Always clean the lint filter after every use. Letting the filter
get plugged up can cause a fire and will certainly impede the air
flow, wasting energy dollars and increasing the wear on your clothing.
Older dryers have a very high heat factor and dry clothing more
rapidly than modern dryers. The older models are not nearly as energy
efficient and are much harder on your garments.

professionals are available 24/7 at our toll free phone number.
