Never use these like outright water heaters in cold water. Of course, you'll need a decent thermometer too, to check things. They do seem to have a safety reset button in case they overheat. And there should be an indicator light when actually heating things or not. Having full output of 750 watts means you'll want to plug them into a good GFCI wall outlet, and never into something like a power strip.
