1. Carefully review the usage instructions
A general principle before using electrical products is to thoroughly read the usage instructions, and heaters are no exception. Users should take the time to study the technical specifications on the machine to ensure safety. The essential technical specifications to grasp (also the common ones) are electricity level, heat level, distance, etc.In the current market, there are many types of heaters. Consumers need to choose products from reputable brands to ensure safety during use.2. Place the heater in a suitable location
Heaters operate on the principle of heating the surrounding air to generate heat. Therefore, it can be dangerous if not used correctly. Placing the heater in a corner of the room, away from the user, is the best practice. The recommended safe distance when using a heater is 1.5 meters. The continuous hot air flow from the heater can affect the skin, even causing burns. Therefore, keep the heater away from people. Additionally, place the heater in a flat and stable location to prevent it from tipping over.
3. Devices also need resting time
Do not overuse the heater; it needs a break for the room air to rejuvenate. During this time, open all doors for ventilation, replacing the dry and hot air with fresh air. This significantly reduces respiratory diseases caused by prolonged heater use.
4. Increase room humidity
During the winter in our country, the air is often dry. Continuous heating in the room can adversely affect human health. Therefore, placing a water basin in the room to increase humidity and balance the air is essential.
Using a humidifier can also contribute to improving air quality. However, it has the drawback that you will need to regularly clean the machine to avoid bacteria and dust being sprayed into the air, further polluting the air and potentially affecting the respiratory system, especially in the elderly and young children.
5. Avoid sealing the room tightly
A common misconception affecting health is the belief that sealing a room tightly keeps it warm. A closed room traps hot, dry air, causing poor circulation. Inhaling only the heated air and exhaled breath leads to stuffiness and oxygen deficiency. Keep the door slightly open or use a fan for ventilation while using heating or air conditioning.
6. Avoid setting the temperature too high
Experts advise against setting the heating temperature too high on extremely cold days to prevent sudden exposure to freezing temperatures when leaving the room. In our climate, maintaining a temperature between 22 to 25 degrees is ideal to avoid adverse effects on the respiratory system caused by excessively dry, hot air.
7. Never place a heater near you while sleeping
Position the heater at least 1m away from the bed, curtains, furniture, and flammable materials.
Ensure the heater's hot components are not obstructed during operation.
Avoid using heaters in areas prone to water leakage as it may cause sparks, fires, and electrical leaks.
