Most problems that arise are caused by electric heaters, heat or fire, but that electricity from power lines. Of course, it is still important to ensure that all electrical wiring is done properly and with due care and attention. Make use of modern synthetic polymers have the same insulating properties of rubber. If you can, make your home or office wiring updated to include modern switches, which are the most effective fire protection created by a short circuit or an overloaded system.

    The most obvious precautions taken to prevent accidents caused by space heaters, are simply to ensure there is adequate space between the heater and any potential source of combustion. Sources include articles of furniture, curtains, anything made of paper or cardboard and, of course, any flammable liquids. Be especially sure to keep the heater away from any possible contact with water.

    A basic and obvious advice is to make sure the heater has to purchase any security certification is appropriate in your country. All governments of major countries with security standards to be met by items before they can be fitted with a mark or symbol that shows that have been thoroughly tested and meet the often stringent requirements. If the mark is present it will cause the heater does not conform to the norm – and you have no guarantee that the build quality is adequate, or that the features incorporated into security meets the necessary standards.

    If you are buying a heater with one or more of electrical components, it is important to ensure that there is an adequate guard around him. Any contact with a heated element paper or fabric material creates an immediate risk of fire. If the guard is extremely insufficient, there is even a risk of serious injuries to fingers accidentally contact the heater elements in the case of a fall, for example.

    It is obviously important when purchasing a new heater to make sure that you've carefully read and understand the instructions for maintenance and safe use of the stove. Of course, basic safety precautions to be observed in all cases. The most important of these is ensuring that water is always kept away from any heating and electrical circuit. Never touch an electric heater while it is wet and does not use an electric heater of a clothes dryer, putting wet clothes too close to a heating element.

    It is also important not to let an electric heater unattended. There is a risk of ignition of an element that is ending a fire hazard is very serious. Such fires are not supposed to be constantly used for daily heating and central heating system. They are designed for use as needed. Treat your sleep time in the same way. If something serious has happened, may not even wake up in time to do anything about it.

    Electric heaters are extremely safe provided these basic safety precautions are met. Please make sure you do not become another statistic.

    由電取暖器引發的安全問題大多數是燙傷或火災，而不是電線或電的故障。當然，確保所有線路安裝正確并得到合理的維護也是很重要的。最好采用合成聚合物電線，這種線的絕緣性與橡膠一樣。可能的話，把家里和辦公室的電線和開關更換成帶短路或過壓保護的產品，這類產品能有效防止火災。

    要防止由室內取暖器造成的事故，最顯而易見的預防措施就是在取暖器與可能的燃燒源之間保持足夠的空隙。燃燒源包括：家具、窗簾、紙（板）制品，當然還包括易燃液體。還要特別注意，確保取暖器不沾水。

    最基本，也是最明顯的一點，取暖器必須持有你所在國家的安全證書。大多數國家的政府部門都要求設備必須達到有關的安全標準，并有標識證明設備經過全面測試滿足各項嚴格要求，這樣設備才能安裝。沒有（原文為present,疑為筆誤，應為absent）些標識的取暖器要么不符合標準（其質量就無法保證）,要么就是安全性能不達標。

    如果您購買的取暖器有一個或多個組件，一定要注意各組件周圍的安全。紙制品或織物與其中的任何一個發熱組件接觸都有可能引起火災。如果不注意安全，可能會造成嚴重傷害。例如，取暖器倒下意外砸傷手指。

    購買新的取暖器時一定要仔細閱讀并理解取暖器維護和安全使用說明書，這一點很重要。當然，任何時候都要遵守基本的安全預防措施，而最重要的預防措施就是不要讓加熱線路和電路接觸到水。取暖器有水的時候不要用手觸摸，不要把電取暖器當作烘干機用，不要把濕衣服放得離加熱部件太近。

    另一點也很重要，不要將取暖器開著而人離開，這樣可能會點燃附近的東西從而導致嚴重火災。電取暖器不能持續性使用，不能用于取代日常供暖或中央供暖系統。取暖器只能在需要的時候使用。睡覺時也是一樣，如果發生意外，你可能根本不能及時醒來搶救。

    如果能做到這些基本的安全預防措施，電取暖器是相當安全的。您千萬不要成為下一個受害者哦！
