READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
– DANGER. To avoid possible electric shock, special care should be taken since water is em-
ployed in the use of aquarium equipment. For each of the following situations, do not at-
tempt repairs by yourself; return the appliance to an authorized service facility for service
or discard the appliance.
– If the appliance falls into the water DON’T reach for it. First unplug the appliance immedia
tely (Nonimmersible equipment only)
– If the appliance shows any sign of abnormal water leakage, immediately unplug it from the
power source.
– Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not be plugged in if there is
water on parts not intended to be wet.
– Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, or if it’s malfunctioning
or if it is dropped or damaged in any manner.
– Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it will not be tripped over or pulled.
– To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle getting wet, position aquarium
stand and tank to one side of a wall mounted receptacle to prevent water from dripping on-
to the receptacle or plug. A “drip loop”, shown in the figure, should be arranged by the user
for each cord connecting the aquarium appliance to a receptacle. The “drip loop” is that part
of the cord below the level of the receptacle, to prevent water travelling along the cord and
coming in contact with the receptacle. If the plug or receptacle does get wet, DON’T unp-
lug the cord; disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies power to the appliance.
Then unplug and examine for presence of water in the receptacle.
– Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
– To avoid injury, do not contact moving parts.
– Always unplug an appliance from an outlet when not in use, before putting or taking off
parts, and before cleaning. Never yank cord to pull plug from outlet. Grasp the plug and pull
to disconnect.
– Do not use an appliance for other than intended use. The use of attachments not recom-
mended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition.
– Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to the weather or to tempera-
tures below freezing.
– Make sure an appliance mounted on a tank is securely installed before operating it.
