As is well known, dry winter weather coupled with increased use of fire and heat, many users lack awareness of fire safety and often keep their heaters on for a long time, which can easily lead to fires.
1、 Understand the safety hazards of electric heaters. Electric heaters are electrical appliances that can quickly convert electrical energy into thermal energy. Firstly, electric heaters may use electricity, which may pose a risk of electric shock; Secondly, the product will generate heat and generate high temperatures. If accidentally touched, it may cause burns; If it comes into contact with combustible materials, it may generate a source of fire and cause a fire.
2、 Pay attention to electrical safety. The power supply of the electric heater must use a qualified, grounded three hole socket, otherwise there is a risk of leakage. Electric heaters have high power and should not be used together with high-power appliances, welding machines, impact drills, etc., as this can easily damage the electric heater. Do not place sockets and wires close to the heating parts of the electric heater to prevent heat from dissipating and burning the power supply. When there is no one in the room, be sure to unplug the power of the electric heater.
3、 Pay attention to fire prevention. One major taboo when using electric heaters is to cover them with objects. Due to the high temperature of the electric heater, once it covers the item, the heat is not easily dissipated, which not only easily causes the machine to burn out, but may also cause the temperature to be higher than the ignition point of the item, thereby igniting the item and potentially causing a fire. Therefore, when using an electric heater, it is necessary to maintain a certain distance from combustible materials. Try not to use an electric heater to dry clothes up close.
4、 When using electric heaters to prevent burns and dryness, try to place them in a place that is not easy to touch. When there are elderly and young children with limited mobility at home, it is even more important to prevent electric heaters from scalding them. When using an electric heater for heating, due to the close proximity between the human body and the product, it is easy to cause dry skin, hot and dry body, and even difficulty breathing. Therefore, it is recommended to use some methods of humidification indoors to alleviate dryness symptoms.
