SPACE HEATERS

Safety First!

• Keep all space heaters at least 3 feet away from household combustibles.

• Use space heaters only as a supplementary source of heat. These devices are not intended to replace the home’s heating system.

• Do not use extension cords with space heaters unless absolutely necessary.

• Do not use a space heater with a damaged cord.

• Heaters should be placed on a flat, level surface. Do not place heaters on furniture.

• If you have a liquid fueled space heater, use only the fuel recommended by the manufacturer. The wrong fuel could burn hotter than the equipment was designed for and cause a serious fire.
