Ceramic hewter fure hazard.

The ceramic element gets hot quickly inside the heater but the exterior plastic casing stays cool. Although some heaters rate better than others in our fire safety tests it has been several years since a space heater failed it completely. The cool casing helps prevent burns. The good news is that ceramic component will not get hot enough to become a fire hazard or a burn risk.

A ceramic space heater relies on electricity to provide constant heat. Ceramic heaters have electricity pass through ceramic instead of an exposed heating element. In 2012 we identified the optimus h 5210 as a safety. There is a much lower risk of surrounding articles catching fire.

Still be sure not to put your heater next to any flammable materials and allow for clearance around the heater. Lasko has received 28 reports of failed power cords including six reports of minor property damage. Utilizing this technique a ceramic heater remains cool because the plastic on the outside does not absorb the heat. However just like other space heaters ceramic heaters also need a certain amount of clearance and free space around them.

This is great news for families with children and pets who may touch the space heater out of curiosity. Unlike other space heaters a ceramic heater is much less prone to starting an electric fire. No injuries have been reported. No need to worry about the risk of fire when you turn on the heat.

This is because the ceramic elements do not get overheated.
