Safety Tips
|
|
Do
not use portable propane space heaters indoors or in any confined space
unless they are specifically designed for indoor use. Always follow the
manufacturer’s directions for proper use. |
|
Never use gasoline in a kerosene space heater. Even small amounts of gasoline mixed with kerosene can increase the risk of a fire. |
|
To prevent the risk of fire, NEVER leave a space heater on when you go to sleep or place a space heater close to any sleeping person. Turn the heater off if you leave the area. |
|
|
Place
space heaters on a level, hard and nonflammable surface (such as a
ceramic tile floor), not on rugs or carpets or near bedding or drapes.
Keep the heater at least three feet from bedding, drapes, furniture and
other flammable materials. Keep children and pets away from space
heaters.
