Replacement Parts List
DANGER: Since water is employed in the use of aquarium equipment, special care should be taken to avoid elec-
tric shock. For each of the following situations, do not attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Return it to an
authorized service facility for service, or discard it.
1. A. If the appliance falls into the water, do not reach for it. First unplug it and then retrieve it.
B. If electrical components of the appliance get wet, unplug the appliance immediately.
C. Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not be plugged in if there
is water on parts not intended to get wet.
D. Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is malfunctioning, or if it has been
dropped or damaged in any manner.
E. To avoid the possibility of water dripping onto the appliance plug or outlet,
position aquarium stand and tank to one side of a wall-mounted outlet. A
“drip loop” (see illustration) should be arranged for each cord connecting an
aquarium appliance to an outlet. The “drip loop” is the part of the cord
below the level of the outlet (or extension cord connector) that prevents
water from traveling along the cord to the outlet. If the plug or outlet gets
wet, do not unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies
power to the appliance. Then unplug the appliance and examine the outlet
for presence of water.
2. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
3. To avoid injury, do not contact moving parts or hot parts such as heaters, reflectors, lamp bulbs, etc.
4. Always unplug an appliance from an outlet when it is not in use, before putting on or taking off its parts, and
before cleaning it. Never yank cord to pull plug from outlet. Grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.
5. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a proper rating should be used. A cord rated for fewer
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.
6. Do not use an appliance for other than its intended use. The use of attachments not recommended or sold
by the appliance manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition.
7. Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to the weather or to temperatures below
freezing.
8. Make sure the appliance is securely mounted on aquarium before operating it.
