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 inrm 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.
c. Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not be 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 qualied
electrician.
