clogged line), then increase to every 5 seconds, (indicating a severe clog).

DRYSAFER SAFETY TIPS

As part of your home’s safety program, change the Alarm battery

once a year or when changing batteries in your smoke and carbon

monoxide detectors. We also recommend changing the battery

after the Alarm indicates a clogged vent to ensure proper battery

operation.

Periodically test the battery by using the test button located on the

DrySafer Alarm. **SEE NOTIFICATION INFORMATION SHEET

Have your dryer vent cleaned and inspected every two years

Inspect your vent hood on the outside of your home for any obstruc-

tions or lint buildup.

Inspect your venting for any kinks, obstructions or objects that may

have fallen onto it.

Clean your lint ﬁlter after every load of clothes.

Keep all ﬂammable liquids, oily rags and other objects away from

the dryer.

Make sure to unplug your dryer while working on it.

FAQ’s ONLY YOU CAN PREVENT CLOTHES DRYER FIRES Proper Installation & Choice of Building Materials 1. Make sure the dryer duct is made of solid metallic or flexible aluminum material. Vinyl is combustible and spiral-wound surfaces tend to catch lint more readily. 2. The dryer duct should vent to the exterior and in no case should it vent to an attic or crawlspace. Avoid the use of inside heat recovery diverter valves or termination boxes, which do not comply with current standards. 3.
