Safety Tips
Even with the safety features such as auto shutoff that are included in a good quality ceramic heater, consider following these safety rules to minimize risk
Keep at least a meter of space around the heater.
Ensure that the cord has enough slack so that if it catches our foot, the system won't tip over.
Following the above tip, keep it somewhere where people or cats don't usually pass by
Do not place near curtains, beddings, or any flammable substances.
Do not sit directly on top of the heater. Discourage the cats from jumping on top of it.
Unplug the unit when it's not in use.
Place the unit on the ground. Most heaters are not designed to be placed on any surface.
