DANGER – To avoid possible electric shock, special car  should be taken since water is employed in the use ofaquarium equipment. For each of the following situations, do not attempt repairs yourself; return the appliance to the store where it was purchased if still under warranty. If the appliance shows any sign of abnormal water leakage, immediately unplug it from the power source.

A. This is a NOT a submersible product. Do not immerse the product in water! If the appliance falls into the water, DON’T reach for it. First unplug it and then retrieve it.

12. To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug getting wet, position the tank to the side of a wall mounted receptacle to prevent water from dripping onto the receptacle. A “drip loop”, should be arranged by the user for each cord connecting an aquarium device to the receptacle. The “drip loop” is the part of the cord below the level of the receptacle or the connector if an extension cord is in use, to prevent the water from travelling along the cord and coming into contact with the receptacle. If plug or receptacle gets wet, DO NOT unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies power to the receptacle then unplug the power supply and examine for the presence of water in the receptacle.
