WARNING:

 To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be 

observed, including the following:

a.

 

READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

.

b

.

 

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 repairs by yourself; return the appliance to an authorized service facility for service 
or discard the appliance:

1.  If the appliance falls into the water, DO NOT reach for it! First, unplug it and then retrieve it. 

If the electrical components of the appliance get wet, unplug the appliance immediately. 
(non-immersible equipment only)

2.  If the appliance shows any signs of abnormal water leakage, immediately unplug it from the 

power source. (immersible equipment only)

3.  Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not be plugged in if there is water 

on parts not intended to be wet.

4.  Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, or if it is malfunctioning or if 

it has been dropped or damaged in any manner.

5.  To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle 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" (fig. A1) should be arranged by the user for each 
cord connecting an aquarium appliance to a receptacle. The "drip loop" is that part of the 
cord below the level of the receptacle, or the connector if an extension cord is to be used,  
to prevent water from 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 or 
circuit breaker that supplies power to the appliance. Then, unplug and examine for presence 
of water in the receptacle.
