Heating

  • Paraffin/Gas heaters should be well maintained and filled with fuel in a well ventilated area to prevent a build up of fumes.  Always follow the manufacturers operating instructions.
  • Do not store items on top, or in front of heaters. Do not place portable heaters in front of beds, or other furnishings, or use them to dry items of clothing.
  • Position portable heaters where they will not be knocked or tipped over.
  • Always use a fire guard with portable heaters and open fires. When using with an open fire, ensure it is fixed to the wall. Never place flammable items on the guard.
