IMPORTNT 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 repairs by 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 immediately. (Non-immersible equipment only)
b)
If the appliance shows any sign of abnormal water leakage, immediately unplug it from the power source.
(Immersible equipment only)
c)
Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not be plugged in if there is water on parts not
interned to be wet.
d)
Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, or if it is malfunctioning or has been dropped or
damaged in any manner.
e)
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”, shown in the figure below, 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 used, to prevent water travelling along the cord and coming in contact with
the receptacle.
If the plug or socket does get wet,
DON´T 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.
3)
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
4)
Always unplug an appliance from an outlet when not in use, before putting an or taking off parts, and before
cleaning. Never yank cord to pull plug from 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)
Make sure an appliance mounted on a tank is securely installed before operating it.
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 bee taken to arrange the cord so that it will not be
tripped over or pulled.
9)
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As safety feature, this plug will fit in a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug 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.
Exception: This instruction may be omitted for an appliance that is not provided with a polarized attachment plug.
Removing of the plug invalidates the warranty!
