IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING – To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed
including the following:
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
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, return the appliance to an
authorized service facility for service or discard the appliance.
1. A. If the appliance shows any sign of abnormal water leakage, immediately unplug it from
the power source.
B. Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not be plugged
in if there is water on the parts not intended to be wet.
C. Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, or
if it is malfunctioning or if it is dropped or damaged in any
manner.
D. To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle getting
wet, position aquarium stand and tank to one side of the wall
mounted receptacle to prevent water from dripping onto the
receptacle or plug. As shown in the figure below, a “drip loop”
should be arranged by the user for each cord connecting an
aquarium appliance to the receptacle. The “drip loop” is the part
of the cord below the level of the receptacle, or the connector if
an extension cord is used, to prevent water travel along the cord
and coming in contact with the receptacle. If the plug or the
receptacles do get wet, DON’T unplug the cord. Disconnect the
fuse to the circuit breaker that supplies power to the appliance.
Then unplug and examine for the presence of water in the
receptacle.
2. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
3. To avoid injury, do not contact moving parts or hot parts such as heaters, reflectors, lamp bulbs, etc.
4. Always unplug an appliance from the outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts,
and before cleaning. Never yank the cord to pull plug from the outlet. Grasp the plug and pull to
disconnect.
5. 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.
6. Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to the weather or to temperatures
below freezing.
7. Make sure an appliance mounted on a tank is securely installed before operating it.
8. Read and observe all the important notices on the appliance.
9. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a proper rating should be used. A cord rated for less
amperesor 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.
ONLY FOR POLARIZED ATTACHMENT PLUG APPLIANCES
10.If this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other) as a safety feature, this plug
will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If
it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use with an extension cord unless plug can
be fully inserted. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
