Using the dryer to dry clothes is a very common routine.  Although it is an efficient appliance, it is responsible for a potential fire hazard.  To minimize the risk of a dryer or lint fire, protect your home by taking care of your dryer and doing routine maintenance.

Use these tips to prevent dryer fires from occurring in your home:

• Do not use the dryer without a lint filter
