Clothes dryer

• Check the dryer vent annually to be sure moist air is exhausting outside your home.
• Operate your dryer only when full (not overloaded). 
• Use the lowest heat setting appropriate to the clothes fabric being dried. 
• Keep filter free of lint. 
• Remove clothes before they are bone dry and wrinkles are set to reduce the need for ironing.
