A. If the appliance falls into water, DON’T reach for it! First unplug it 

and then retrieve it. If the electrical components of the appliance get 

wet, unplug the appliance immediately. 

 

B. Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not be 

plugged in if there is water on parts not intended to be wet. 

 

C. Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, or if 

it is malfunctioning or if it is dropped or damaged in any manner. 

 

D. To avoid the possibility of the appli-

ance 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 at the right should be ar-

ranged by the user for each cord con-

necting an aquarium appliance to a re-

ceptacle. The ”drip loop” is that part of 

the cord below the level of the recepta-

cle or the connector if an extension cord 

is used, to prevent water travel along the 

cord and coming in contact with the 

receptacle. If the plug or the receptacle 

do get wet, DON’T unplug the cord. 

Disconnect the fuse to the circuit 

breaker that supplies power to the appli-

ance. Then unplug and examine for the 

presence of water in the receptacle. 

 

WARNING 

To avoid possible electric shock, special care should be taken since wa-

ter is employed in the use of aquarium equipment. For each of the 

following situations, do not attempt to repair yourself: return the appli-

ance to an authorized service facility for service or discard the appli-

ance. 

 

READ ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE.
