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, DON'T reach for it! First unplug it and then retrieve it.  

If electrical components of the appliance get wet, unplug the appliance completely.

  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, 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 receptacle does 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.  To avoid injury, do not contact moving parts or hot parts such as heaters, reflectors, lamp  

bulbs, etc.

5.  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.

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.

11.  This appliance is recommended for use over a glass aquarium cover or panel. The appliance is 

intended 

FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

.

ONLY FOR POLARIZED ATTACHMENT PLUG APPLIANCES 

12. 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.
