On February 22, information from the Department of Fire Prevention, Fire Fighting and Rescue Police (Ministry of Public Security) said that to avoid the risk of fire and explosion from clothes drying machines, it is necessary to comply with the following basic principles:
Maintain and clean the clothes dryer regularly: It is necessary to regularly check and clean the clothes dryer. If you see too much dust accumulating, use a soft brush to clean the filter trap. In addition, it is also necessary to check parts of the dryer such as ventilation pipes, filters and machines to ensure they are not clogged or damaged.
Check the ventilation pipes: The ventilation pipes are an important part of the dryer, helping to drain hot air out and ensure ventilation for the machine. Therefore, it is necessary to check the ventilation pipes regularly to ensure that they are not clogged or damaged.
Check the filter: The filter helps prevent dirt and fabric fiber from accumulating in the dryer. If not cleaned regularly, the filter can become clogged and cause a risk of fire and explosion. Therefore, it is necessary to check and clean the filter after each use of the dryer.
Check the factory: The factory is also an important part in ensuring safety when using a dryer. If the door is damaged or not closed, hot air can leak out and cause a fire. Therefore, it is necessary to check the device's output regularly and make sure it is working well.
Use a clothes dryer properly: Using a clothes dryer properly is the most important factor to avoid the risk of fire and explosion. Before starting to use, read the manufacturer's instructions carefully and follow the instructions on how to use a safe clothes dryer. Ensure that you do not overload or dry unsafe materials such as plastic and rubber that can release flammable gas.
Check your clothes bag carefully before putting it in the dryer: Check carefully to see if there is any left in your clothes bag.
Install a clothes dryer in the right location: To ensure safety when using a clothes dryer, it is important to note when installing the machine as follows:
Ensure a safe distance between the dryer and flammable materials such as curtains, carpets or wardrobes.
Make sure the dryer is installed in an airy place and not too dirty.
Make sure the dryer is installed in a place with a stable and capacity source.
Make sure the ventilation pipes are installed and tightly connected to the dryer and are stable on the wall or ceiling.
Check the power source: Unstable power sources can also damage the dryer and increase the risk of fire and explosion. Therefore, it is necessary to check the voltage before using a dryer and ensure that it is operating at a safe level.
Choose a quality clothes dryer: Choosing a safe quality clothes dryer is very necessary to ensure the safety of your family and property. Quality clothes dryers not only help prevent the risk of fire and explosion but also save on repair and replacement costs due to damage.
