READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be
observed when handling the Fluval Canister Filter, including
the following:
1.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
and all
the important notices on the appliance before using.
Failure to do so may result in damage to the unit.
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 repairs yourself; return the
appliance to an authorized service facility for service or
discard the appliance.
A. If the appliance falls into the water, DON’T reach for it!
First unplug it and retrieve it. If electrical components
of the appliance get wet, unplug the appliance
immediately.
B. If the appliance shows any sign of abnormal water
leakage or if RCD (or GFCI- Ground Fault Current
Interrupter) switches off disconnect the power supply
cord from mains and remove pump from water.
C. Carefully examine the appliance after installation.
It should not be plugged if there is water on parts not
intended to be wet.
D. Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord
or plug, or if it is malfunctioning or it is dropped or
damaged in any manner. The power cord of this
appliance cannot be replaced; if the cord is damaged,
the appliance should be discarded. Never cut the cord.
The display label of this appliance cannot be replaced; if
the display label is damaged or not fully adherent, the
appliance should be discarded.
E. To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or
receptacle getting wet, position the appliance to one side
of a wall mounted receptacle to prevent water from
dripping onto the receptacle or plug.
A “drip loop” (see photo) should be arranged by the user for
the cord connecting appliance to a
receptacle. The “drip loop” is that
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, DON’T unplug the
cord. Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies
power to the appliance. Then unplug and examine for
presence of water in receptacle.
3. WARNING - Close supervision is necessary when any
appliance is used by or near children. This appliance
is not intended for use by persons (including children)
with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities,
or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have
been given supervision or instruction concerning use
of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the appliance.
4. To avoid injury, do not touch moving parts or hot
parts.
5. CAUTION – Always unplug or disconnect all appliances
in the aquarium from electricity supply before
placing hands in water, before putting on or taking off
parts and while the equipment is being installed,
maintained or handled. Grasp the plug and pull to
disconnect. Never yank cord to pull plug from outlet.
Always unplug an appliance from an outlet when not
in use.
6. This is an aquarium filter-pump. Do not use this filter
pump for other than intended use (i.e.: do not use in
swimming pools, bathrooms, etc.). The use of
attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance
manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition. This

before operating it. Do not allow pump to run dry.
9. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with proper

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. The connection should be carried
out by a qualified electrical installer.
