English
• 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 autho-
rized service facility for service or discard the appliance.
• 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 is malfunctio-
ning or if it is dropped or damaged in any manner.
• 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 sup-
plies 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 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 freezing.
• Make sure an appliance mounted on a tank is securely installed before opera-
ting it.
