    Boab, it does have it's own plug and fuse. You know those 4 way extension leads that you buy. It is plugged into one of those.

    I think that's OK, isn't it?

    @ Cheese - Now you've done it; expect Jonno to start a thread tomorrow on how water should be banned because of the dangers of people pouring water over electrical goods
    I plan on beating him to death with his kids. I'll use them as a bludgeon on his face. -

    No that is not OK Manker, sorry. A heater should be plugged directly in to the wall plug. These four way extension plug have a low Kilowatt limit. A heater has a high kilowatt output. I would be lying if I said I knew the limit on an extension. But I am not lying by saying your heater should not be on it.

    1. Don't allow the total current used by the appliances plugged into the adapter to add up to more than 13 amps of current altogether - or 3,000 watts of power. So, for example, you could have two 2 amp appliances and one 5 amp in an adaptor.

    2. That means you should never run more than one appliance that uses a lot of current, such as a kettle or television or heater or toaster, from one socket.

    Oh dear, I've got those 4 way ext things all over the place :crying:

    Thanks for the heads up, Boab. They should teach this sort of stuff in school - I can find the hypotenuse of a triangle but I might burn t'place down if I want to be warm doing it

    It doesn't spark when I plug it directly into the wall
