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, 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.
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.
