DANGER:
Since water is employed in the use of aquarium equipment, special care
should be taken to avoid electric shock. For each of the following situations, do not
attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Return it to an authorized service facility
for service, or discard it.
1. A.
If the
fi
lter shows any sign of abnormal water leakage
or the light falls into the water, immediately unplug it
from the power source then remove it from the tank.
B.
If electrical components of the appliance get wet,
unplug the appliance immediately.
C.
Carefully examine the appliance after installation.
It should not be plugged in if there is water on parts
not intended to get wet.
D.
Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord
or plug, if it is malfunctioning, or if it has been dropped
or damaged in any manner.
E.
To avoid the possibility of water dripping onto the
appliance plug or outlet, position aquarium stand and
tank to one side of a wall-mounted outlet. A “drip loop” (see illustration) should
be arranged for each cord connecting an aquarium appliance to an outlet. The
“drip loop” is the part of the cord below the level of the outlet (or extension cord
connector) that prevents water from traveling along the cord to the outlet. If the
plug or outlet gets wet, do not unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse or circuit
breaker that supplies power to the appliance. Then unplug the appliance and
examine the outlet for presence of water.
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, re
fl
ectors,
lamp bulbs, etc.
4.
Always unplug an appliance from an outlet when it is not in use, before putting on
or taking off its parts, and before cleaning it. Never yank cord to pull plug from outlet.
Grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.
5.
If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a proper rating should be used. A cord
rated for fewer amperes or watts than the appliance rating may overheat. Care
should be taken to arrange the cord so that it will not be tripped over or pulled.
6.
Do not use an appliance for other than its intended use. The use of attachments not
recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition.
7.
Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to the weather or to
temperatures below freezing.
8.
Make sure the appliance is securely mounted on aquarium before operating it.
