Are heaters which come with a 3-prong plug being used in a 3-hole outlet or with a properly attached adapter?
Yes
No
The grounding feature provided by a 3-hole receptacle or an adapter for a 2-hole receptacle is a safety feature designed to lessen the risk of shock.
Never defeat the grounding feature.
Use an adapter to connect the heater’s 3-prong plug, if you do not have a 3-hole outlet. Make sure the adapter ground wire or tab is attached to the outlet.
Q. Are heaters placed where they can not be knocked over, and away from furnishings and flammable materials, such as curtains or rugs?
Yes
No
Heaters can cause fires or serious burns if they cause you to trip, if they are knocked over or if they are placed near home furnishings.
Relocate heaters away from passageways and flammable materials such as curtains, rugs, furniture or newspaper.
