IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
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 any sign 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. The "drip loop" is the part
of the cord below the level of the outlet (or if using an extension
cord, below the level of the connector) that prevents water from
traveling along the cord and coming in contact with the outlet.
5. If the plug or outlet should get wet, don't 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. 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.
8. Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to the weather or to temperatures
below freezing.
9. Make sure the appliance is securely installed before operating it.
10. 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, and that it will not be pulled in any way.
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 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 no attempt to defeat this safety feature.
12. To avoid injury, do not touch moving parts.
13. Supervise children closely when they are near or using the appliance.
