Follow instructions

Space heaters carry a much greater risk of causing a fire than central heating, such as furnaces. Space heaters present a greater potential for human error such as leaving them too close to combustible materials or failing to install, fuel, operate and maintain them properly. In order to prevent house fires caused by space heaters, you should follow instructions accordingly. Some space heaters have an automatic shutoff when they fall over or get too hot in order to help prevent a fire. If your space heater shuts itself off, you need to inspect it for a potential problem before turning it back on. Some space heaters may release carbon monoxide into the air. Carbon monoxide has no smell and it is therefore impossible to detect a leak without the use of a carbon monoxide detector. If you use space heaters, you should purchase a carbon monoxide detector. Inhaling too much carbon monoxide can be fatal.
