Important Safety Instructions
WARNING
To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed, including the following:
READ ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE.
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 to repair yourself: return the appliance to an authorized service facility for service or discard the appliance.
A. If the appliance falls into water, DON’T reach for it! First unplug it
and then retrieve it. If the electrical components of the appliance get wet,
unplug the appliance immediately.
B. Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not be
plugged in if there is water on parts not intended to be wet.
C. Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, or if
it is malfunctioning or if it is dropped or damaged in any manner.
D. To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle getting
wet, position 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”, shown in the Figure at the right 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 travel along the cord
and coming in contact with the receptacle. (Continued on pg. 4)
D. (Continued from pg. 3)
If the plug or the receptacle do get wet, DON’T unplug the cord. Disconnect
the fuse to the circuit breaker that supplies power to the appliance. Then
unplug and examine for the presence of water in the receptacle.
E. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near
children.
F. To avoid injury, do not contact moving parts or hot parts such as
heaters, reflectors, lamp bulbs, and etc.
G. Always unplug an appliance from the outlet when not in use, before
putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning. Never yank the cord to
pull plug from the outlet. Grasp the plug and pull to disconnect
H. Do not use an appliance for other than intended use. The use of
attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause an
unsafe condition.
I. Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to the
weather or to temperatures below freezing.
J. Make sure an appliance mounted on a tank is securely installed before
operating it.
K. Read and observe all the important notices on the appliance.
L. 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 in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use with an
extension cord unless plug can be fully inserted. Do not attempt to defeat
this safety feature.
M. This appliance is intended FOR HOUSEHOLD INDOOR USE ONLY.
