IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING – To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed
including the following:
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
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.
1. A. If the appliance shows any sign of abnormal water leakage, immediately
unplug it from the power source.
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, or if it is
malfunctioning or if it is dropped or damaged
in any manner.
D. To avoid the possibility of the appliance
plug or receptacle getting wet, position
aquarium stand and tank to one side of
the wall mounted receptacle to prevent
water from dripping onto the receptacle
or plug. As shown in the figure below, a
“drip loop” 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 travel along the cord and
coming in contact with the receptacle. If
the plug or the receptacles do get wet,
DON’T 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.
2. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
3. To avoid injury, do not contact moving parts or hot parts such as heaters,
reflectors, lamp bulbs, etc.
4. Always unplug an 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
the outlet. Grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.
5. 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.
6. Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to the weather
or to temperatures below freezing.
7. Make sure an appliance mounted on a tank is securely installed before
operating it.
8. Read and observe all the important notices on the appliance.
9. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a proper rating should be used.
A cord rated for less amperesor 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.
ONLY FOR POLARIZED ATTACHMENT PLUG APPLIANCES
10. If this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other) as a
safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact
a qualified electrician. Never use with an extension cord unless plug can be
fully inserted. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
