A "drip loop", shown in the figure below, should be arranged by the user for each
cord connecting the aquarium appliance to a receptacle.
The "drip loop" is that part of the cord below the level of the receptacle, to prevent
water travelling along the cord and coming in contact with the receptacle.

Safety instructions
Read the operating and safety instructions carefully and comply with all
instructions prior to operating this device. Keep these operating instructions
in a safe place.
For indoor use only. For use with aquariums.
To protect against contact voltage being too high, the fixture must have a residual
current device with a rated release fault current not exceeding 30 mA. Ask your
electrician.
Before putting your hand into the water in the aquarium, disconnect all electric
equipment in the water from the power supply.
The connecting line of this device can not be replaced. When the line is damaged, the
device must no longer be used. Never carry the pump by the cable; do not bend the
cable.
The pump should not run dry. Temperature range from +4°C up to max. +35°C. The motor
is protected from overheating.
For your own safety we recommend that you make a drip loop with the power
cord. This drip loop prevents any water running along the cord from reaching
the electrical socket.
If an extension lead with several sockets or an external power supply is used,
place it above the pump power connection.
Such items can cause electronic or mechanical interference or damage.

• 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 the
receptacle.
