WARNING: PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING
SAFETY INFORMATION FIRST.
DANGER: To avoid a possible electric shock, ensure all electrical devices are
switched off when carrying out maintenance. Take extra care when handling a
wet aquarium. Do not attempt repairs yourself; return the appliance to the place
of purchase for service or dispose of the appliance.
• To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or socket
getting wet, position the aquarium cabinet and tank to
one side of a wall mounted socket to prevent water
from dripping onto the socket or plug. You should
create a “drip loop” for each cord connecting an
aquarium appliance to a socket. The “drip loop” is
that part of the cord below the level of the socket, or
the connector. Use an extension cord, if necessary,
to prevent water travelling along the cord and coming
into contact with the socket.
• Always unplug an appliance from an outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off
parts, and before cleaning. Never pull the cord itself to remove the plug from the outlet.
Hold the plug and pull to disconnect.
• If the plug or socket does get wet, DO NOT unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse or circuit
breaker that supplies power to the appliance. Then unplug the device and examine for presence
of water in the socket.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
• Do not use an appliance for anything other than its intended use. The use of attachments not
recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition.
• Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to the weather or to temperatures
below freezing point.
• Make sure an appliance mounted on a tank is securely installed before operating it.
Read carefully all the important notices on the appliance and the corresponding instruction manual.
NOTE: 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 cannot be tripped over or pulled accidentally.
DRIP LOOP
IMPORTANT
It is important to ensure that any water that is spilled
onto the cabinet is wiped off and dried immediately.
Failure to do so will invalidate the warranty.
