IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND FOLLOW
ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER
Special care should be taken to avoid possible electric shock, since water is employed in the
use of aquarium equipment. Do not attempt any repairs by yourself; return the appliance to an
authorized service facility for service, or discard the appliance.
WARNING
To guard against injury, observe basic safety precautions, including the following:
1.
If the appliance shows signs of abnormal water leakage, immediately unplug it from the
power source.
2.
Carefully examine the appliance after installation. Unplug the appliance if there is water on
parts not intended to get wet.
3.
Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, or if it is malfunctioning, or
if it has been dropped or damaged in any manner.
4.
To avoid getting the appliance plug or receptacle wet, position the aquarium to the side of
a wall-mounted outlet in order to prevent water from dripping
onto the plug or outlet.
Arrange a "drip loop" for each cord connecting an
aquarium appliance to an outlet. (See Illustration A.)
The "drip loop" is the part of the cord below the level of
the outlet that prevents water from traveling along the
cord and coming in contact with the outlet. (If using an
extension cord, the "drip loop" is located below the level
of the connector.)
5.
If the plug or outlet should get wet, do not unplug the
cord. Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies
power to the appliance. Once the power has been disconnected, unplug the cord and examine it
for the presence of water in the outlet.
6.
Always unplug the appliance from an outlet when it is not in use. Also unplug it before cleaning,
and prior to disconnecting or attaching parts. Never yank the cord to pull the plug from the outlet.
Grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.
7.
The filter is designed to operate while filled with water. If the filter runs "dry" over an extended
period of time, the motor should be examined to determine if its plastic surfaces have warped or
melted. If so, replace the motor.
8.
Do not use an appliance for anything other than its intended use. Do not use attachments that
are not recommended or sold by the manufacturer; they may cause an unsafe condition.
9.
Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to the weather or to temperatures
below freezing.
10. Make sure the appliance is securely installed before operating it.
11. If an extension cord is necessary, use a cord with a rating that matches or exceeds the rating of the
appliance. A cord rated for fewer amperes or watts than the appliance rating may overheat. Arrange
the cord so that it will not trip anybody, or be pulled in any way.
12. 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 into the outlet, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use with an extension cord
unless the plug can be fully inserted. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
13. To avoid injury, do not touch hot or moving parts.
14. Read and observe all notices on the appliance.
15. Supervise children closely when they are near or using the appliance.
