Precautions
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. 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 to repair by yourself; return the appliance to an authorized service facility for service or
discard the appliance.
a)
If the appliance shows any sign of abnormal water leakage, immediately unplug it from the
power source.
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
has been 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 receptacle or plug. A “drip-loop” shown in the figure, should be arranged 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 traveling along the cord and coming in contact with the
receptacle. If the plug or socket does get wet, DO NOT 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.
2. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
3. To avoid injury, DO NOT contact moving parts or hot parts such as heaters, reflectors, lamp
bulbs, and the like.
4. Always unplug an appliance from an outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off
parts, and before cleaning. Never yank cord to pull plug from outlet. Grasp the plug and pull to
disconnect.
5. 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.
6. DO NOT install or store the appliances where it will be exposed to the weather or to
temperatures below freezing.
7. Make sure an appliance mounted on a tank is securely installed before operating it.
