A. If the appliance falls into water, DON’T reach for it! First un-
plug 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 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 recep-
tacle or plug. A “drip loop”, shown in
the Figure at the right should be ar-
ranged 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 travel along the cord and coming in contact with
the receptacle. (Continued on pg 4)
