The heater has a three prong plug and the outlet has 2? If it has blown the fuse or circuit breaker, it is drawing more current than the circuit can handle. That is the purpose of the fuse. If you only have 2 prong outlets, it is probably mounted in a metal box that should be grounded. It may not be or it may be in a metal box but the box is not grounded. They make an adapter that has a tab you put behind the screw that is holding the outlet cover in place. Grounding the heater is not going to stop it from blowing the circuit. Try a different outlet, remove something that is on the same circuit or use a heavier fuse which is not always a good idea.
