SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
A) READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
B) 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:
1) If the appliance falls into the water, DON’T reach for it! First unplug it and then retrieve it. If electrical components of the appliance get
wet, unplug the appliance immediately. (Non-immersible equipment only)
2) If the appliance shows any sign of abnormal water leakage, immediately unplug it from the power source. (Immersible equipment only)
3) Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not be plugged in if there is water on parts not intended to be wet.
4) 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 man-
ner.
5) 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 traveling along the cord and coming in contact with the
receptacle. 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.
C) Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
D) To avoid injury, do not contact moving parts or hot parts such as heaters, reflectors, lamp bulbs, and the like.
E) Always unplug an appliance from an outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning. Never yank cord to
pull plug from outlet. Grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.
F) 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.
G) Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to the weather or to temperatures below freezing.
H) Make sure an appliance mounted on a tank is securely installed before operating it.
I) Read and observe all the important notices on the appliance.
J) 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 be taken to arrange the cord so that it will not be tripped over or pulled.
K) For added safety, the appliance must be plugged into a receptacle controlled by a GFCI (ground fault interrupter) circuit breaker. Device
must be properly connected to a grounded three-prong receptacle.
L) This appliance is intended FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
M) This Light Fixture is required to be used over a covered aquarium. A glass top or protective barrier is required to minimize the fixture's
exposure to water.
N) SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
TO GUARD AGAINST INJURY, BASIC
PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE OBSERVED,
INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:
GROUNDING
INSTRUCTIONS
THIS APPLIANCE SHOULD BE
GROUNDED TO MINIMIZE THE
POSSIBILITY OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
GROUNDING SETUp
This appliance should be grounded to minimize the possibility of
electric shock. This appliance is equipped with an electric cord having
an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding type plug. The
plug must be plugged into an outlet that is installed and grounded in
accordance with all appropriate codes and ordinances.
This appliance is for use on a normal 120-volt circuit, and has a
grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated below.
A temporary adaptor which looks like the adaptor illustrated in (A)
may be used to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle as shown
in (A) if a grounded outlet is not available.
A temporary adaptor should only be used until a grounded outlet can
be installed by a qualified electrician.
GROUNDING INSTALLATION
The green-colored rigid tab extending from the adaptor must be
fastened to a permanent ground such as a grounded outlet box.
1. Plug temporary adaptor into two-pole outlet. (B)
2. Insert screw through rigid tab on temporary adaptor and into
grounded outlet box. (C)
