On February 21, information from the Fire Prevention, Fire Fighting and Rescue Police Department (Ministry of Public Security) said that if people use drying equipment incorrectly or buy poor quality, non-standard products, there will be a potential risk of fire and explosion.
The fire and explosion from the clothes dryer not only causes property damage but can also endanger human health and life.
There are many causes of fire and explosion from clothes dryers, the most common of which are as follows:
Not cleaning the dryer regularly: The most common cause of a dryer fire is not careful hygiene. Because the filter cannot catch all the fabric from the clothes, the fabric fiber can gradually accumulate and catch fire in the heating or exhaust. The fabric fiber that is not completely removed through the filter can accumulate and kills the fire. The congestion in the ventilation system also contributes to increased temperature, which can easily lead to fire.
Damaged controls: Mechanical and electrical errors are a significant part of dryer fires. The reason is that the heating part has a violated circuit or the sugar rings are too hot and no longer rotate freely and the old electrical wiring system.
Using instructions incorrect: Using a dryer that is not recommended by the manufacturer such as drying unsafe items such as rubber or vinyl, etc. These items often have warning labels that recommend not putting them in the dryer. Improper use also includes putting too much stuffing into the dryer, which prevents the process of ventilation and drainage and puts more pressure on the cage rotating engine.
Forget flammable objects in your clothes: Many people have the habit of smoking and leaving lights in their shirt or pants bags. If unfortunately, you forget to turn on the lights and put them in the dryer, there will be a very high risk of fire under the effect of heat.
Using poor quality clothes dryers: Using genuine air, fake, or poor quality counterfeit goods is extremely dangerous, causing unpredictable damage to your family and your family. Therefore, you need to pay attention when shopping for products to use them safely, durably and effectively.
Inappropriate installation location: Installing a dryer near flammable materials such as curtains, carpets or wardrobes can create a risk of fire and explosion. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention when installing a dryer and ensure a safe distance between the machine and flammable materials.
Power source: Electrical power is too high or too low, which can damage the dryer and increase the risk of fire and explosion. Therefore, it is necessary to check the power source before using a dryer and ensure that it is operating at a safe level.
Therefore, the authorities recommend that people need to maintain and clean the clothes dryer regularly; Use the clothes dryer properly; Install a clothes dryer in an appropriate location.
