SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• DO NOT TOUCH HOT SURFACES. SOME FOUNTAIN COMPONENTS BECOME HOT DURING USE.
• WHEN MOVING THE FOUNTAIN MAKE SURE THAT YOU LIFT THE DRUM. IF YOU LIFT THE BASIN IT
MIGHT COME OFF FROM DRUM.
• NEVER ALLOW LIQUID TO ENTER THE FOUNTAIN BASE THROUGH THE BOTTOM GRATE OR VENT
HOLES.
• ADULT SUPERVISION IS NECESSARY WHEN APPLIANCE IS USED IN PRESENCE OF CHILDREN.
• AVOID CONTACT WITH ALL MOVING PARTS
• ALWAYS UNPLUG THE FOUNTAIN FROM THE ELECTRICAL OUTLET WHEN IT IS NOT IN USE, BEFORE
PUTTING ON OR TAKING OFF PARTS, AND BEFORE CLEANING.
• NEVER COVER VENT HOLES ON THE FOUNTAIN BASIN. DOING SO MAY CAUSE THE FOUNTAIN TO
OVERHEAT.
