Always plug your space heater into a wall outlet. Never plug your space heater into a power strip or extension cord.

Most power strips and extension cords are not designed to meet the power needs of a space heater. The heater requires more power than strips or extension cords are designed to handle. They will literally meltdown and start fires. When in doubt, read the safety information that came with your space heater for the manufacturer recommendations.
