CONSIGNES DE SÉCURITÉ IMPORTANTES
AVERTISSEMENT – Pour protéger contre les blessures, respecter les consignes
de sécurité de base, notamment ce qui suit :
1. LIRE ET RESPECTER TOUTES LES INSTRUCTIONS
DE SÉCURITÉ.
2. DANGER – Pour écarter les risques de décharge électrique, faire preuve de
précautions particulières en raison de la présence d’eau dans l’aquarium.
Dans chacune des situations ci-dessous, ne pas tenter de réparer soi-même ;
renvoyer l’appareil à un centre de réparation agréé ou le mettre au rebut.
A. Si l’appareil présente des signes de fuites d’eau anormales, le débrancher
immédiatement de la source d’alimentation.
B. Examiner l’appareil avec soin après son installation. Ne pas le brancher
s’il y a de l’eau sur des pièces non destinées à être mouillées.
C. Ne pas utiliser un appareil s’il a un cordon ou une fiche endommagés,
s’il fonctionne mal, s’il est tombé ou s’il a été endommagé d’une
quelconque façon.
D. Pour écarter le risque de mouiller la fiche de l’appareil ou la prise de
courant, placer le socle et la cuve de l’aquarium sur le côté par rapport
à la prise murale, afin d’éviter que l’eau ne goutte sur la prise ou la fiche.
Prévoir une « boucle d’égouttement », illustrée ci-dessous, sur chaque
cordon qui raccorde un appareil de l’aquarium à la prise de courant. La
« boucle d’égouttement » est la portion de cordon en dessous du niveau
de la prise, ou du connecteur si un cordon de rallonge est utilisé, pour
empêcher l’eau de s’écouler le long du cordon et de venir au contact de la
prise. Si la fiche ou la prise sont mouillées, NE PAS débrancher le cordon.
Couper l’électricité au niveau du disjoncteur qui alimente l’appareil.
Débrancher ensuite le cordon et voir s’il y a de l’eau dans la prise de
courant.
3. Une supervision étroite est nécessaire lors de l’utilisation de tout appareil
électrique par des enfants ou à leur proximité.
4. Toujours débrancher un appareil de la prise de courant lorsqu’il n’est pas utilisé,
avant de poser ou d’enlever des pièces et avant de le nettoyer. Ne jamais tirer
sur le cordon pour sortir la fiche de la prise. Saisir la fiche et tirer pour
débrancher.
5. Ne pas utiliser un appareil à d’autres fins que celles prévues. L’emploi
d’accessoires non recommandés ni vendus par le fabricant de l’appareil peut
produire une situation dangereuse.
6. Ne pas installer ni entreposer l’appareil dans un endroit exposé aux intempéries
ou à des températures inférieures au gel.
7. Lire et respecter toutes les consignes importantes figurant sur l’appareil.
8. Si un cordon de rallonge est nécessaire, utiliser un cordon de capacité
suffisante. Un cordon prévu pour des intensités (A) ou des puissances (W)
inférieures à celles de l’appareil peut surchauffer. Veiller à disposer le cordon
de manière à éviter tout risque de trébuchement ou d’arrachement.
APPAREILS À FICHE POLARISÉE SEULEMENT
9. Si cet appareil comporte une fiche polarisée (une lame plus large que l’autre)
par mesure de sécurité, cette fiche ne peut être branchée dans une prise
polarisée que dans un sens. Si la fiche ne rentre pas complètement dans la
prise, retourner la fiche. Si elle ne rentre toujours pas, contacter un électricien
qualifié. Ne jamais utiliser avec un cordon de rallonge si la fiche ne s’enfonce
par complètement. Ne pas tenter de contourner ce dispositif de sécurité.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING – To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed
including the following:
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
2. 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, do not attempt to repair yourself; return the appliance to an
authorized service facility for service or discard the appliance.
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.
3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
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. Read and observe all the important notices on the appliance.
8. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a proper rating should be used. 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 will not be tripped over or
pulled.
ONLY FOR POLARIZED ATTACHMENT PLUG APPLIANCES
9. 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.
