IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING - To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed including the following:
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
2. DANGER - To avoid possible electric shock, special care should be taken since water is employed in
the use of aquarium equipment. For each of the following situations, do not attempt to repair yourself;
return the appliance to an authorized service facility for service or discard the appliance.
A. If the appliance falls into the water, DO NOT reach for it! First unplug it and then retrieve it.
If electrical components of the appliance get wet, unplug the appliance immediately.
B. Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not be plugged in if there is water
on the parts not intended to be wet.
C. Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is malfunctioning or if it is
dropped or damaged in any manner.
D. To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug getting wet, position aquarium stand and tank to one
side of a wall mounted receptacle to prevent water from dripping onto the receptacle or plug.
A “drip loop”, shown in the figure below, should be arranged by the user for each cord connecting
an aquarium appliance to the receptacle. The “drip loop” is the part of the cord below the level of
the receptacle, or the connector if an extension cord is used, to prevent water traveling along the
cord and coming in contact with the receptacle. If the plug or receptacle does get wet, DO NOT
unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse to the circuit breaker that supplies power to the appliance.
Then unplug and examine for the presence of water in the receptacle.
3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is
used by or near children.
4. To avoid injury, do not contact moving parts or hot
parts such as heaters, reflectors, lamp bulbs, and
the like.
5. Always unplug the appliance from the outlet when not
in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before
cleaning. Never yank the cord to pull plug from outlet.
Grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.
6. Do not use an appliance for other than intended use.
The use of attachments not recommended or sold by
the appliance manufacturer may cause an unsafe
condition.
7. Do not install or store the appliance where it will be
exposed to the weather or to temperatures below
freezing.
8. Make sure an appliance mounted on a tank is securely
installed before operating it.
9. Read and observe all the important notices on
the appliance.
10.
If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a proper
rating should be used. A cord rated for less amperes or
watts than the appliance rating may overheat. Care
should be taken to arrange the cord so that it will not
be tripped over or pulled.
11. This appliance is recommended for use over a
glass aquarium cover or panel.
The appliance is intended FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
12. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
