Warning: To guard against injury, basic safety precautions

should be observed, including the following:

1. Read and follow all safety instructions before using this appliance.

2. Danger: To avoid possible electric shocks, special care should be

taken since water is employed in the use of terrarium equipment. For

each of the following situations do not attempt repairs yourself. Return

the appliance to an authorised service facility for service or discard the

appliance.

appliance immediately (non immersible equipment only).

or if it is malfunctioning, or dropped or damaged in any manner.

e) The external flexible cable or cord of this motor cannot be replaced. If

the cord is damaged the motor should be scrapped.

A“drip loop” (See the diagram) should be arranged by the user for each

cord connecting an aquarium component to a 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. It is used to prevent water traveling along

the cord and coming in contact with the receptacle. If the plug or

receptacle does get wet, do not unplug the appliance. Disconnect the

fuse or circuit breaker that supplies the power to the appliance, then

unplug and examine for presence of water in the receptacle.

Step By Step Guide

1. Select the appropriate wattage heater for your terrarium. Normally 1 watt will heat 1 litre

of water. For example a 100W heater is required for a 80 to 100L terrarium.

2. Position the heater in the terrarium. The best position is near a strong water flow. The

outlet of a power filter is ideal.

3. The heater should not come in contact with the gravel or substrate. This may cause a hot

spot on the glass and cause the heater to crack.

4. Use the heater guard provided to fasten the heater to the terrarium. Heater should be

pushed firmly into the heater guard and suction cups should be secured to the terrarium

wall.

5. Do not plug the heater in unless submersed in water. Always allow 10-15 minutes for the

heater to acclimate to the terrarium temperature before plugging the unit in.

6. Plug the power cord into the power socket and arrange a “drip loop” (see diagram left)

and turn “on”.

7. To set the heater, use the purple control knob at the top of the heater to

adjust to the desired temperature. Continue turning the knob until the preferred temperature

is displayed in the window on the front of the heater. A light will come on when the heater is

working, It will switch off when it reaches the set temperature.

8. Confirm your set temperature with an accurate thermometer. The thermometer should be

placed at the opposite end of the terrarium to the heater. A small variation between the

heater's set temperature and the thermometers reading is normal.
