auto cut feature
While buying a room heater, first of all check the auto cut feature. This feature automatically switches off the heater when it gets too hot. This reduces the risk of fire and wire melting to a great extent. In the absence of overheat protection, the heater continues to heat up continuously, which can cause a major accident.
This protects the heater from damage if the internal fan fails or if the air intake becomes blocked, which could cause heat to accumulate inside the chassis.
Tip-over safety switch
If there are children or pets in the house, then this feature is very important. Due to the tip-over switch, the heater automatically switches off as soon as it falls. Many times, when the heater is turned on, clothes or papers kept nearby get burnt, due to which there is a risk of fire.
Always operate room heaters in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions and maintain a safe distance from all flammable materials.
