Beware of accidents caused by refueling oil stoves etc.!

If the lid of the oil stove or oil fan heater is not sufficiently closed, kerosene may spill out of the refueling tank during refueling work, causing a fire, leading to death.

１．Safely refueling
○Securely close the lid of the refueling tank
・Confirm that the lid has been closed and that there is no oil leakage, and return it to an oil stove.
○Be sure to extinguish the fire before refueling
・When refueling, be sure to extinguish the heater and refuel in a place where there is no fire.
○Special attention should be paid to old products
・Some products sold before the national safety standards were changed in 2009 are difficult to confirm that the filler port of the refueling tank has been reliably tightened, and may not have an automatic fire extinguishing function when refueling is.

２．Check that your home product is not a recalled product
For information on recalled products, please refer to the Consumer Affairs Agency website and the following “Oil Heating Equipment Recall (including alerts)”.
