12. A heater has hot and arcing or sparking parts inside. Do not use it in the
areas where gasoline, paint, or ammable liquids are used or stored.
13. Use this heater only as described in this manual. Any other use not
recommended by the manufacturer may cause re, electric shock, or
injury to persons.
14. CAUTION: Always plug heaters directly into a wall outlet/receptacle.
Never use with an extension cord or relocatable power tap (outlet/
power strip).
15. This heater draws 12.5 amps during operation. To prevent overloading
a circuit, do not plug the heater into a circuit that already has other
appliances working.
16. The output of this heater may vary and its temperature may become
intense enough to burn exposed skin. Use of this heater is not
recommended for persons with reduced sensitivity to heat or an inability
to react to avoid burns.
17. Don’t leave the heater on unattended.
HANDLING ALKALINE BATTERIES
1. Should uid from the battery accidentally get into your eyes, there is
a threat of loss of eyesight, do not rub them. Immediately rinse your
eyes with clean tap water and then consult a physician immediately.
2. Do not put the battery in a re, expose it to heat, dismantle or modify
it. If the insulation or safety valve is damaged, the battery may leak
uid, overheat or explode.
3. Do not insert the battery with the poles reversed. Doing so may cause
some abnormality or a short and the battery may leak uid, overheat
or explode.
4. Keep the battery out of the reach of children. If the battery is
swallowed, contact a physician immediately.
5. If the alkali uid gets in your mouth, rinse your mouth with water and
contact a physician immediately.
6. If the alkali uid gets on your skin or clothes, it may burn your skin,
thoroughly rinse the affected area with tap water.
7. Do not mix new and old batteries or other makes of batteries. The
different attributes may cause the battery to leak uid, overheat or
explode.
8. This battery was not made to be recharged. Recharging this battery
may damage the insulation or internal structure and may cause the
battery to leak uid, overheat or explode.
SAFETY INFORMATION

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To
reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to t into a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not t into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not t, contact a qualied electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in
any way.
POWER SUPPLY CORD
1. A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
NOTE: Neither Westinghouse nor the dealer can accept any liability for damage to the
product or personal injury resulting from failure to observe the electrical connection
procedures.

9. Do not damage or remove the label on the exterior of the battery.
Doing so may cause the battery to short, leak uid, overheat or
explode.
10. Do not drop, throw or expose the battery to extreme impact. Doing
so may cause the battery to leak uid, overheat or explode.
11. Do not alter the shape of the battery. If the insulation or safety valve
is damaged, the battery may leak uid, overheat or explode.
12. Immediately remove batteries when they have lost all power. Leaving
the batteries in the unit for a long time may cause the batteries to
leak uid, overheat or explode due to gas that is generated by the
batteries.
13. Remove the batteries from the unit when not using the unit for an
extended period of time. The batteries may leak uid, overheat or
explode due to gas that is generated by the batteries.
14. Do not apply solder directly to the batteries. The heat may cause the
batteries to leak uid, overheat or explode.
15. Do not get the batteries wet. Doing so may cause the batteries to
overheat
16. Store batteries someplace out of direct sunlight where the
temperature and humidity are not high. Not doing so may cause the
batteries to leak uid, overheat or explode. Also, it may cause the life
and performance of the batteries to decline.
17. Follow the regulations of the local government when disposing of
these batteries.
