“The room must be insulted for best heating results,” the instructions read.

Social media users played along with the typo online, saying that they’ve tried to follow the instructions themselves.

“I’ve just shouted profanities at my bedroom, doesn’t seem to have changed the temperature,” one person commented.

“So the room will feel warmer if I call it a d**ckhead?,” another asked.

A third added: “Insulted? I would like to see and hear that.”

“According to the instructions if your room isn't insulted it will not give its best heating result,” someone else wrote.

“Stupid room,” another person posted.

Other commenters noticed the instructions also misspelt ‘indicator’ as ‘indictor’.

“I think my power indictor likes to be insulted though,” someone shared.

The 11 fin oil heater is currently listed on Kmart at $55, with adjustable settings to keep the room “warm and cosy during those chilly nights”.

Kmart toys go viral

The hilarious error comes after another shopper recently noticed ‘frightening’ details on Kmart's animal toys.

“Got a bit more than I bargained for when I bought my toddler the $19 bag of farm animals," she wrote. “Gotta say the detail on them is um... impressive?”

While some people applauded the amount of detail, others called it “a bit much”.

“Why are they subjecting our kids to this?,” one person commented.

“Wow how the world has changed,” someone said, while another added, “I wouldn’t give those to my child.”
