WARNING
To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed
including the following:
READ ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE.
To avoid electric shock, special care should be taken since water is
employed in the use of aquarium equipment. For each of the follow-
ing situations, do not attempt to repair yourself. Return the appliance
to an authorized service facility for service or discard the appliance.
If the appliance falls into water, DO NOT reach for it! First unplug
it an then retrieve it. If the electrical components of the appliance
get wet, unplug the appliance immediately.
Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not
be plugged in if there is water on parts not intended to be wet.
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 man-
ner.
To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle getting
wet, position aquarium to one side of a wall mounted receptacle
to prevent water from dripping onto the receptacle plug. A “Drip
Loop” should be arranged by the
user for EACH cord connecting an
aquarium appliance to a recepta-
cle. The “Drip Loop” is that part of
the cord below the level of the re-
ceptacle or the connector if an ex-
tension cord is used. This “Drip
Loop” prevents water travelling
along the cord and coming in con-
tact with the receptacle. If the plug
or the receptacle do get wet DO
NOT unplug the cord. Disconnect
the fuse to the circuit breaker that supplies power to the appli-
ance. Then unplug and examine for the presence of water in the
receptacle.
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or
near children.
To avoid injury, do not contact moving parts or hot parts such as
heaters, reflectors, lamps bulbs and etc.
Always unplug an appliance from the outlet when not in use, be-
fore putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning. Never
yank the cord to pull plug from outlet. Grasp the plug and pull to
disconnect.
