We found out the hard way with a disaster with my mother-in-law. The entire stove tipped over. Lucky she had just started to cook and the two pots of water had not come to a boil yet. When they came out to install the safety plate under the leg of the stove I asked the installation guy what other things I could have possibly missed. He told me the biggest item that causes problems is the dryer vent. I had a company come out the next day called Duct Dudes, I stayed with them throughout their service and was amazed at the amount of lint that they pulled from the entire dryer system that I had cleaned with my son about 60 days earlier. They have a industrial truck that has the biggest vacuum bags you ever saw that sucks out lint from places the eye can't see. $100 well spent and now we have a yearly appointment. Safety First.
