INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
- To guard against injury, basic safety
precautions should be observed, including the following.
1.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
And all important notices on the appliance before using.
Failure to do so may result in damage to the unit.
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 repairs 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 or if RCD (or GFCI- Ground Fault Current Interrupter)
switches off disconnect the power supply cord from mains
and remove the skimmer from the water.
B.
Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It
should not be plugged 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 it is dropped or damaged
in any manner. The power cord of this appliance cannot be
replaced; if the cord is damaged, the appliance should be
discarded. Never cut the cord.
D.
To avoid the possibility
DRIP LOOP
AQUARIUM
TANK
of the appliance plug or
receptacle getting wet,
position the appliance to
one side of a wall mounted
receptacle to prevent water
from dripping onto the
receptacle or plug. A “drip
loop” (see illustration 1)
should be arranged by the
user for the cord con-
necting 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 from travelling
along the cord and coming in contact with the receptacle. If
the plug or receptacle 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 receptacle.
3.
WARNING
– Close supervision is necessary when any
appliance is used by or near children. This appliance is
not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance
by a person responsible for their safety. Children should
be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
4.
To avoid injury, do not touch moving parts or hot parts.
5.
CAUTION
– Always unplug or disconnect all appliances
in the aquarium from electricity supply before placing hands
in water, before putting on or taking off parts and whilst
the equipment is being installed, maintained or handled.
When inserting or removing the skimmer from the water,
always pull out the main electricity plug. Never yank cord to
pull plug from outlet. Grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.
Always unplug an appliance from an outlet when not in use.
6.
This is an aquarium skimmer. Do not use this skimmer for
other than intended use (i.e.: do not use in swimming pools,
bathrooms, etc.). The use of attachments not recommended
or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause an unsafe
condition.
• This skimmer is suitable for use in water temperatures
up to 35 °C.
• Do not use this skimmer with flammable or drinkable
liquids.
7.
This skimmer is suitable for
INDOOR/HOUSEHOLD
use
only. Do not install or store the appliance where it will be
exposed to the weather or to temperatures below freezing.
8.
Make sure that the skimmer is securely installed before
operating it. Do not allow skimmer to run dry. The skimmer
must be immersed in water completely. This skimmer must
never operate outside of water.
9.
WARNING
– For North American market only. This
appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized
socket only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the
socket, 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.
10.
If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with 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. The connection should be carried out by a
qualified electrician.
