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 falls into the water, DO NOT reach for it! First unplug it and then retrieve
it. If electrical components of the appliance get wet, unplug the appliance immediately.
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, if it is malfunctioning or
if it is dropped or damaged in any manner.
D. To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug getting wet, position aquarium stand and
tank to one side of a wall mounted receptacle to prevent water from dripping onto the
receptacle or plug. A “drip loop”, shown in the figure below, 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 traveling along the cord and coming in contact with the
receptacle. If the plug or receptacle does get wet, DO NOT 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. To avoid injury, do not contact moving parts or hot parts
such as heaters, reflectors, lamp bulbs, and the like.
5. Always unplug the 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
outlet. Grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.
6. 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.
7. Do not install or store the appliance where it will be
exposed to the weather or to temperatures below freezing.
8. Make sure an appliance mounted on a tank is securely
installed before operating it.
9. Read and observe all the important notices on the
appliance.
10. 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.
