IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
– To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed including
the following:
1.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
2.
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 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 power.
B. Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It
should not be plugged in if there is water on the 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 if it is 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 the wall-mounted receptacle to
prevent water from dripping onto the receptacle or
plug. As shown in the figure, a “drip loop” should be
arranged by the user for each cord connecting an
aquarium appliance to the 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, to prevent
water travel along the cord and coming in contact with
the receptacle. If the plug or the receptacle does get
wet, DON’T unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse to the
circuit breaker that supplies power to the appliance.
Then unplug and examine for the presence of water in
the receptacle.
3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
4. To avoid injury, do not contact moving parts or hot parts such as heaters, reflectors, lamp
bulbs, etc.
5. Always unplug an appliance from the outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off
parts, and before cleaning. Never yank the cord to pull plug from the outlet. Grasp the plug and
pull to disconnect.
6. 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.
7. Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to the weather or to temperatures
below freezing.
8. Make sure an appliance mounted on a tank is securely installed before operating it.
9. Read and observe all the important notices on the appliance.
10. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a proper rating should be used. A cord rated for
less 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.
ONLY FOR POLARIZED ATTACHMENT PLUG APPLIANCES
11. This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other) as a safety feature, this
plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use with an extension cord
unless plug can be fully inserted. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
