Porta- ble space heaters have become a popular way to supplement central heat- ing or heat one room. If you plan to use portable electric space heaters, make sure to follow these tips and recommendations: HEATER CHECKLIST Purchase a heater that is listed by a qualified testing laboratory. Keep the heater at least 3 feet away from anything that can burn, including people. Choose a heater with a thermostat and overheat protection. Place the heater on a solid surface. Make sure your heater has an auto shut-off to turn the heater off if it tips over. Keep space heaters out of the way of foot traffic. Never block an exit. Keep children away from the space heater. Plug the heater directly into the wall outlet. Never use an exten- sion cord. Space heaters should be turned off and unplugged when you leave the room or go to bed.
