hello everyone

Just moved to Lapland and in our house we have the following heaters ( photo added) can someone tell me if there is a possibility of carbon monoxide from these types of heaters? I don’t know what any of them little icons means. If so how do I check? I am worried as this tends to be a big issue in my home country so I would like peace of mind and help

Thanks

  1. It’s an electric heater, so it’s perfectly safe as long as you don’t cover it with something.

  2. No carbon monoxide. Just don’t cover them with anything e.g. curtains, clothes. They get very hot when its cold and covering them is a potential fire hazard.

  4. This is an electrical heater. No worries about carbon monoxide as there is nothing combusting (unless you decide to cover it with cloth or somenting else that might catch fire).

    The icons mark different approvals/certifications.

  5. “Ei saa peittää!” (The only sentence of Finnish many Swedes know)

  8. They just heat up with electricity. No Siemens-neste or anything else to think about.

  9. thank you everyone for your help! i appreciate you taking the time to adress my concerns 🙂
