READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.

DANGER
. To avoid possible electric shock, special care should be taken since water is employed in the use of aqua-
rium 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.
–
If the appliance falls into the water DON’T reach for it. First unplug the appliance immediately (Nonimmersible
equipment only)
–
If the appliance shows any sign of abnormal water leakage, immediately unplug it 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’s malfunctioning or if it is dropped or dama-
ged in any manner.
–
Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it will not be tripped over or pulled.
–
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, 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 receptacle, to prevent water travelling
along 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 receptacle.
–
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 appli-
ance 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 freezing.
–
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.
–
The line cord of this unit cannot be replaced or repaired. Should the line cord become damaged the appliance must
be discarded.
