wires and connections. These wires will need to be replaced immediately. Have a plumber check to make sure natural gas pipes and fittings are secure and do not allow leaks. Keep your stove and oven clean; grease accumulation is a fire hazard. DRYER VENTS - The piping that connects your dryer to an outside vent may become clogged even if you routinely clean the machine filter. The internal ductwork should be inspected annually to ensure that it does not get clogged. Plastic coil dryer vents clog easily and should be removed and replaced with sheet metal ducts. Don’t forget to clear snow away from your exterior dryer vent and don’t push the dryer so close to the wall the duct is kinked or crushed. FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS - Liquids such as alcohol, acetone or gasoline are flammable and can catch fire if inadvertently exposed to a flame. Do not store in a garage or utility room that has a pilot light – which could cause an explosion. All should be stored in an UL-approved container at room temperature. EXTENTION CORDS - Should be heavy duty and high quality. Read and learn about different cord ratings. MATCHES - Can remain lit even after being blown out. Run them under water before you throw them away. CANDLES - Should not be left unat- tended. Never leave a room with a candle burning—extinguish it if no one is in the room.
