As the cold makes it’s way In keep this in mind! DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD OR POWER STRIP WITH AN ELECTRIC ROOM SPACE HEATER. IT CAN OVERLOAD THE CIRCUIT OR OVERHEAT THE EXTENSION CORD AND
CAUSE AN ELECTRICAL FIRE!
Here are some tips to stay safe during the winter months.
1. Keep all sides of the heater at least
3 feet from beds, clothes, curtains, papers, sofas and other items that can catch fire.
2. Never run the heater's cord under
rugs or carpeting and never power the heater with an extension cord or power strip.
3. Make sure the heater is not near water. NEVER touch it when you’re wet.
4. Place the heater on a stable, level surface, located where it will not be knocked over.
5. Never leave the heater operating while unattended or while you are sleeping.
6. If the heater's cord or plug is HOT, disconnect
the heater and contact an authorized repair person. If any part of the outlet is hot, contact a certified electrician.
