Page: 14 / 168

• If the appliance shows any sign of abnormal water leakage, immediately unplugit from the power source.
• Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not be plugged in if there is water on parts not intended
to be wet.
• Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, or if it is malfunctioning or if it is dropped or dama-
ged in any manner.
• To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle getting wet, position aqua-
rium 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,
should be arranged by the user for each cord connecting the aquarium appliance to a
receptacle. The “drip loop” is that part of the cord below the level of the cord
and coming in contact with the receptacle. If the plug or receptacle 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 recepta-
cle.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
• To avoid injury, do not contact moving parts.
• Always unplug an appliance from an outlet when not in use, before putting or taking off parts, and before
cleaning. Never yank cord to pull plug from outlet. Grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.
• 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.
• Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to the weather or to temperatures below free-
zing.
• Make sure an appliance mounted on a tank is securely installed before operating it.
• Read and observe all the important notices on the appliance and its cord.
• 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.
• Check that the voltage shown on the label of the unit corresponds to the voltage of the mains supply.
• Disconnect all electrical appliances from the mains before placing hands in the water.
