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.

    由电取暖器引发的安全问题大多数是烫伤或火灾，而不是电线或电的故障。当然，确保所有线路安装正确并得到合理的维护也是很重要的。最好采用合成聚合物电线，这种线的绝缘性与橡胶一样。可能的话，把家里和办公室的电线和开关更换成带短路或过压保护的产品，这类产品能有效防止火灾。

    要防止由室内取暖器造成的事故，最显而易见的预防措施就是在取暖器与可能的燃烧源之间保持足够的空隙。燃烧源包括：家具、窗帘、纸（板）制品，当然还包括易燃液体。还要特别注意，确保取暖器不沾水。

    最基本，也是最明显的一点，取暖器必须持有你所在国家的安全证书。大多数国家的政府部门都要求设备必须达到有关的安全标准，并有标识证明设备经过全面测试满足各项严格要求，这样设备才能安装。没有（原文为present,疑为笔误，应为absent）些标识的取暖器要么不符合标准（其质量就无法保证）,要么就是安全性能不达标。

    如果您购买的取暖器有一个或多个组件，一定要注意各组件周围的安全。纸制品或织物与其中的任何一个发热组件接触都有可能引起火灾。如果不注意安全，可能会造成严重伤害。例如，取暖器倒下意外砸伤手指。

    购买新的取暖器时一定要仔细阅读并理解取暖器维护和安全使用说明书，这一点很重要。当然，任何时候都要遵守基本的安全预防措施，而最重要的预防措施就是不要让加热线路和电路接触到水。取暖器有水的时候不要用手触摸，不要把电取暖器当作烘干机用，不要把湿衣服放得离加热部件太近。

    另一点也很重要，不要将取暖器开着而人离开，这样可能会点燃附近的东西从而导致严重火灾。电取暖器不能持续性使用，不能用于取代日常供暖或中央供暖系统。取暖器只能在需要的时候使用。睡觉时也是一样，如果发生意外，你可能根本不能及时醒来抢救。

    如果能做到这些基本的安全预防措施，电取暖器是相当安全的。您千万不要成为下一个受害者哦！
