Instructional booklets aren’t helpful for only instruction, however also for danger warnings pertinent to whatever component you’re holding.
People joke that they “never read the instruction,” however that could result in a particularally dangerous situation.
I made this disappointing mistake when I bought a powerful space gas furnace two years ago. I live in the south and hate to use a central furnace when the weather rarely demands it. The lowest un-even temperatures the people I was with and I get are in the high 30s, however nights that frigid are few and far between. Even so, it can believe frigid in the beach house when it’s as high as 60 degrees outdoors, so that’s why I like to use space furnaces when I need them. I found a good ceramic gas furnace that featured its ability to handle spaces of 400 square feet or more. I started using it without looking at the instruction manual, missing the sizable warning notice that urges users to never plug the component into a surge strip, especially with other electronics or appliances jammed at the same time. Thankfully I was in the same room while it was running, because the surge strip melted and nearly caught the wall of our study room on fire in the process. I felt like such an idiot when I got the instruction manual out and found the warning on the minute page. If I had just taken a few hours to look it over before plugging in the space gas furnace for the first time, I could have avoided this entire ordeal altogether. At the same time, I’m thankful I was nearby when the plug started to smoke. In the end, it could have been worse.
