IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Thank you for purchasing the new Fluval submersible heater. For a
complete understanding of the heater’s operation and capabilities, please
read and follow these instructions.
WARNING – To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be
observed, including the following:
1.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
. Failure to do so may result in loss of
fish and/or damage to this appliance.
2. Read and observe all the important notices on the appliance.
3. DANGER - To avoid possible electric shock, special care should be
taken since water is employed in the use of this 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. Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not
be plugged in if there is water on parts not intended to be wet.
Maximum operating depth is 0.9 meters, (2.9 ft). Do not immerse
this heater below the MAX. water level line indicated on the
appliance.
B. Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is
malfunctioning or it is dropped or damaged in any manner.
C. To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or electrical outlet
getting wet, position the appliance
to one side of a wall mounted outlet
to prevent water from dripping onto
the outlet or plug. A “drip-loop”
(see ill 1) should be arranged. The
“drip-loop” is that part of the cord
below the level of the outlet, or the
connector if an extension cord is
used, to prevent water from traveling
along the cord and coming in contact
with the outlet. If the plug or outlet
does get wet, DON’T unplug the
electrical cord. Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies
power to the appliance, then unplug and examine for presence of
water in the outlet.
D. If the appliance shows any sign of abnormal water leakage,
immediately unplug it from the power source.
4. 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.
5. To avoid injury, do not contact hot parts.
6. Always unplug an appliance from outlet when not in use, before
putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the Aquarium.
Never yank cord to pull plug from outlet. Grasp the plug and pull to
disconnect.
7. This is an aquarium heater. Do not use an appliance for other than its
intended use (i.e.: don’t use this heater on swimming pools, garden
ponds, bathrooms, etc.). The use of attachments not recommended or
sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition.
8. This heater is suitable for INDOOR use only. Do not install or store the
appliance where it will be exposed to the weather or to temperatures
below freezing.
9. Make sure that the heater is securely installed before operating it.
10. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with 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. Never use with an extension cord unless plug can be fully inserted. Do
not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
