Safety Statements

DANGER To avoid possible electrical shock, special care should be taken since water is employed in the use of aquarium equipment.
WARNING 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.
WARNING DO NOT immerse the driver or power supply in water. If the driver or power supply falls into the water, DON’T reach for it! First unplug it and then retrieve it. If electrical components of the appliance get wet, unplug the appliance immediately. Death or destruction of property may result.

Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is malfunctioning or if it is dropped or damaged in any manner.
Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not be plugged in if there is water on parts not intended to be wet
Never yank cord to pull plug from outlet. Grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.
Do not use appliance for other than intended use. The use of attachments, power cords, or accessories not sold by the manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition resulting in property damage, injury, or death..
Position the aquarium stand and tank to one side of a wall-mounted receptacle to prevent water from dripping onto the receptacle or plug. A “drip-loop” should be employed for each cord connecting an aquarium appliance to a receptacle. A “drip-loop” is the part of the cord below the level of the receptacle (or the connector if an extension cord), to prevent water from traveling along the cord and coming in contact with the receptacle.
Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to weather or to temperatures below freezing.
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.
DO NOT attempt repairs yourself; return the appliance to the manufacturer for service or discard.
ONLY the pump component of the product is waterproof.
Close supervision is necessary when an appliance is used by or near children. Keep out of reach of young children.
To avoid injury, do not contact moving or hot parts such as heaters, reflectors, lamp bulbs, and the like.
Always unplug appliance from outlet before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.
DO NOT stick ﬁngers or anything else into the propeller.
