While our heaters feature cool-touch exteriors, exercise caution around loved ones:
- Keep heaters out of reach of children under 3 years old.
- Teach older children not to touch, bump, or move the heater.
- Pets should be closely supervised — infrared warmth naturally attracts them.
- Consider using a safety barrier or pet gate in high-traffic patio areas.
