WARNING-
To guard against injury, basic safety pre-
cautions should be observed, including the following:
•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 by yourself; return the appliance to
an authorized service facility for service or discard the
appliance
•Unplug all units in the aquarium and disconnect the power
plugs of all units before reaching into the water or moving/
cleaning the unit.
•CAUTION! Risk of Electric Shock - Don't use the pump when
there are people in the water.
•CAUTION! This unit has been evaluated for use with water
only.
•WARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock, use only on
portable self-contained fountains.
•DANGER! Never operate the unit if either the electrical
cables or the housing are defective!
• Do not install or store the appliance where it will be
exposed to the weather or to temperatures below freezing.
• Do not carry or pull the unit by its electrical cable.
• 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.
• Don't attempt to open the pump/motor enclosure.
•In case of "retrofitting" operation, please carefully read
and follow the content of this manual as well as heater
instruction manual.
• Route cables/hoses such that they are protected from
damage and do not present a tripping hazard.
• Only open the unit housing or its attendant compo-
nents, when this is explicitly required in the operating
instructions.
• DANGER! Only carry out work on the unit that is
described in this manual. If problems cannot be overcome,
please contact an authorised customer service point or,
when in doubt, the manufacturer.
• Only use original spare parts and accessories for the unit.
• DANGER! Never carry out technical modifications to the
unit. Don't cut the cord or remove the plug from the cord.
• Power connection cables cannot be replaced. If a cable
is damaged, dispose of the respective unit or components.
• The impeller unit in the pump contains a magnet with a
strong magnetic field that may affect the operation of
pacemakers or implantable cardioverter defibrillators
(ICDs). Always keep magnets at least 0.7 ft. away from
implanted devices.
Electrical connection
• Read and observe all the important notices on the
appliance.
• In case of retrofitting, please respect the
recommended power shown in the table of P. 18 using
only OASE HeatUp heaters.
• Only connect the unit if the electrical data of the unit
and the power supply coincide. The unit data is to be
found on the unit type plate, on the packaging or in this
manual.
• Protect the plug connections from moisture.
• Only plug the unit into a correctly fitted socket.
• Do have all electrical outlets installed and serviced
by a licensed electrician.
• DANGER! Do disconnect the pump from the electrical
outlet at the first sign of any problem.
• DANGER! 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 the
receptacle.
• DANGER! Don't pinch, twist or damage the electrical
cord. A minor cut even if only in the outer shell could
allow water to reach the motor enclosure and dam-age
the pump. If you notice any damage to the cord remove
the pump and store in a dry place. Consult any damage
to the electrical cord will void all warranties and could
cause serious electrical shock hazard.
• To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug getting
wet prevent water from dripping onto plug. A "drip
loop," shown in the figure below, should be arranged by
the user for each cord connecting an aquarium
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
traveling along the cord and coming in contact with the
receptacle.
