Safety Statements
• 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.
• Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not be plugged in if there is water
on parts not intended to be wet
• Never yank cord to pull plug from outlet. Grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.
• Do not use appliance for other than intended use. The use of attachments, power cords,
or accessories not sold by the manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition resulting in

• Position the 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” should be employed for each
cord connecting an aquarium appliance to a receptacle. A “drip-loop” is the part of the cord
below the level of the receptacle (or the connector if an extension cord), to prevent water
from traveling along the cord and coming in contact with the receptacle.
