  SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:

• Carefully examine the heater and the power 

cord for signs of damage or defect. DO 

NOT use a damaged or defective heater. 

If the heater appears to be damaged or 

defective, contact Zoo Med’s customer 

service department for replacement within

repair, or modify the power cord in any way. 

Inspect the power cord, plug, and heater 

periodically for damage.

• This heater gets hot when plugged in. To 

avoid injury, DO NOT touch the heater when 

it is plugged in. Allow the heater to com-

pletely cool before handling it or performing 

aquarium maintenance.

• Caution must be taken when using electrical 

appliances near water. To reduce the risk 

of electric shock, be sure that the heater 

is unplugged during any of the following 

situations:

-Unplug when the heater is dry and is not 

submerged in water.

-Unplug when installing the heater in your 

fi sh bowl or tank.

-Unplug when performing aquarium 

maintenance.

water of the fi sh bowl or tank. Be sure 

that your hands are completely dry before 

plugging the heater into an appropriate 

GFCI outlet.

  DRIP LOOP:

This heater must be plugged into a grounded 

GFCI (Ground Fault Interrupted Circuit) receptacle 

with a “drip loop” (see Figure 1). The drip loop 

will prevent water from running along the power 

cord and getting the plug or wall receptacle wet. 

To create a drip loop, be sure that a portion of 

the power cord is lower than the level of the 

wall receptacle as shown in Figure 1. If you are 

unsure about the electrical supply and connec-

tion, contact a qualifi ed licensed electrician. If for 

any reason the plug or wall receptacle gets wet, 

do not grasp or unplug the power cord until after 

the power has been switched off at the main fuse 

or circuit breaker.
