EN
WARNING – To guard against injury, basic safety precautions
should be observed, including the following:
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY
1.
INSTRUCTIONS
and all the important notices on the appliance before using.
Failure to do so may result in loss of fish life and/or damage to
this appliance.
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,
immediately unplug it from the power source.
B. Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not
be plugged in if there is water on parts not intended to be wet.
If the appliance or any part of it falls into the water DO NOT
reach for it. First unplug the unit before retrieving.
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 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) should
be arranged by the user for the
cord connecting 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, DO NOT 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. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with significantly impaired physical or mental
capabilities, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety. Children should always 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 while the equipment is
being installed, maintained or handled. 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. Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed
to weather or temperatures below freezing. FOR INDOOR
HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. DO NOT IMMERSE.
7. Make sure the appliance is mounted correctly and securely
positioned on the aquarium before operating the appliance.
8. 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 electrical installer.
