Even small devices that are used every day in our homes can cause fires or losses if they are used incorrectly.
Space heaters present the highest fire risk and please note the safety tip sheet for home fire safety. Remember that de-humidifiers and other small electronic devices need to be used properly to reduce the fire risk.
Use all devices properly and never modify the unit.
Don’t use any unit with a damaged electrical cord or plug.
Stop using the unit if it doesn’t shut off or work properly.
Don’t block louvers or grills.
Place the appliance in an open area and away from walls for good air flow.
Don’t pack combustible material around devices to prevent overheating.
Keep the units clean including grills, coils, and covers.
Blocked vents and filters can overheat units.
Clogged or dirty coils can overheat.
Damaged electrical plugs or cords can overheat and start fires.
