2 Safety
PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER: To avoid possible electric shock, special care should be
taken when handling a wet aquarium. 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.
WARNING: To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should
be observed, including the following:
a. 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.
b. To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle
getting wet, position the aquarium stand and tank to one
side of a wall mounted receptacle to prevent water from
dripping onto the receptacle or plug. You should create a
"drip loop"(see Figure 1) for each cord connecting an aquarium
appliance to a receptacle. The "drip loop" is that part of the
cord below the level of the receptacle, or the connector. Use
an extension cord, if necessary, to prevent water travelling
along the cord and coming into contact with the receptacle.
If the plug or receptacle does get wet, DO NOT unplug the
cord. Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies
power to the appliance. Then unplug the device and examine
for presence of water in the receptacle.
