Important Safeguards
To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be
observed, including the following:
1. Read and follow all safety instructions and important notices in
these instructions as well as on the product itself.
2. This appliance is not intended for use by children or infirm persons
without supervision. Young children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.
3. To avoid possible electric shocks, 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 yourself. Return the
appliance to an authorised service facility for service or discard the
appliance.
a. If the appliance or any electrical component of the appliance (non-
immersible equipment only) falls into the water or gets wet, do not
reach for it. Unplug it and then retrieve it.
b. If the appliance shows any sign of abnormal water leakage,
immediately unplug it from the power source

plugged in if there is water on parts which are not intended to be
wet.
d. Do not operate the appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, or if
it is malfunctioning, or dropped or damaged in any manner.
4. A “drip loop” (see graphic) should be arranged for each cable
connecting an aquarium to a power supply. The drip loop is the part
of the cable below the level of the power supply. It prevents water
travelling down the cable and coming into contact with the power
supply. If the plug or the socket does get wet, do not unplug the
appliance. Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies the
power to the appliance, then unplug and examine for presence of
water in the socket.
5. Always unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet when not
in use, before putting on or taking off parts, before any type of
maintenance or cleaning.
6. Never yank the cable to pull it from the socket. Pull the plug
carefully to disconnect.
7. Do not use the appliance for reasons other than the intended
use. The use of attachments that are not recommended or sold by
the manufacturer may cause the product to be unsafe. This is not
recommended.
8. Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to
weather or temperatures below freezing.
9. Make sure any component mounted on a tank is securely installed
before operating it.
10. Ensure input voltage is the same voltage as your local power
supply.
11. If an extension cable is used it should have the proper rating.
Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it will not be tripped
or pulled.
12. A G.F.C.I (Ground fault circuit interrupter) & surge protector is
recommended for all electrical appliances.
13. Ensure your hands are dry when turning the power switch on/off
and when inserting/removing the power cable from the socket.
14. If you are in any doubt about the electrical installation or safety of
this product you must consult a qualified electrician.
