IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
- To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed, including
the following.
READ AND FOLLOW
ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
To avoid possible electric shock, special care should be taken since water is em-
ployed in the use of aquarium equipment. For each of the following situations, do not attempt
repairs by yourself. Return the appliance to an authorized service facility for service or discard
the appliance.
1)
CAUTION
:
If the appliance shows any sign of abnormal water leakage, immediately
unplug it from the power source.
2) Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not be plugged in if there
is water on parts not intended to be wet.
3) Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, or if it doesn’t work
properly or has been dropped or damaged in any manner.
4) To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle getting wet, position
aquarium stand and tank or the fountain to one side of a wall-mounted receptacle
to prevent water from dripping onto the receptacle or plug.
A “drip-loop” (fig. 1) should be arranged by the user for each cord connecting an
aquarium appliance to a receptacle. The “drip-loop” is the part of the cord below
the level of the receptacle or the connector if an extension cord is used, which
prevents water travelling 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 appliance. Then unplug and examine for
presence of water in the receptacle.
5) Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by near children.
6) To avoid injury, do not contact moving parts or hot parts such as heaters, reflectors,
lamp bulbs and similar.
7) 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.
