Space heaters are not intended to replace your home’s heating system. When using a space heater be careful not to overload the electrical outlet. Avoid using extension cords and keep all space heaters at least 3 feet away from combustibles, such as clothes, curtains, beds or other furniture. Never use equipment such as a grill, stovetop or oven as a supplementary heater.
