IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed, including the following.
1) READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
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 by 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 interned to be wet.
b) Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, or if it is malfunctioning or has been
dropped or damaged in any manner.
c) 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 onto the receptacle or
plug.
A "drip-loop", shown in the figure below, should be arranged by the user 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 if an extension cord is used, to prevent water travelling along the cord
and coming in contact with the receptacle.
If the plug or socket 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 the
receptacle.
3) Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
4) Always unplug an appliance from an outlet when not in use, before putting an or taking off parts, and
before cleaning. Never yank cord to pull plug from outlet. Grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.
5) Do not use an appliance for other than intended use. The use of attachments not recommended or sold
by the appliance manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition.
6) Make sure an appliance mounted on a
tank is securely installed before operating
it.
7) Read and observe
notices on the appliance.
8) If an extension cord is necessary, a cord
with a proper rating should be used. A
cord rated for less amperes or watts than
the appliance rating may overheat. Care
should bee taken to arrange the cord so
that it will not be tripped over or pulled.
9) This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As safety feature, this plug will
fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use
with an extension cord unless plug can be fully inserted. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
Exception: This instruction may be omitted for an appliance that is not provided with a polarized
attachment plug.
