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 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 gure
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, reectors, 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.

Whenever you plug in any electrical
appliance, it's important to utilize
a "drip loop". This prevents water droplets
from reaching the electrical outlet, which
can cause a severe hazard.
To make a drip loop, follow the diagram to the right.
Simply drop the power supply cord below the level
of the outlet you're plugging it into. This way, if any
water should get on the cord, it will drip off before
it reaches the electrical outlet.
