IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING – To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed, including the following:
-
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS and all the important notices on the appliance before using the heater. Failure to do so may result in loss of fish life and/or damage to this appliance.
-
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 repairs yourself; return the appliance to an authorized service facility for service or discard the appliance.
A. If the appliance shows any sign of abnormal water leakage or if RCD (or GFCI – Ground Fault Current Interrupter) switches off, disconnect the power supply cord from main power supply and remove it from water.
B. Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not be plugged in if there is water on parts not intended to be wet. Prior to installation, carefully check and make sure the glass tube is not fractured.
WARNING! The heater casing is made of glass. Handle the unit with care at all times.
C. 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. The power cord of this appliance cannot be replaced; if the cord is damaged, the appliance should be discarded. Never cut the cord.
D. To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or electrical outlet getting wet, position the appliance to one side of a wall mounted outlet to prevent water from dripping onto the outlet or plug. A “drip-loop” (ill A) should be arranged. The “drip-loop” is that part of the cord below the level of the outlet, or the connector if an extension cord is used, to prevent water from traveling along the cord and coming in contact with the outlet. If the plug or outlet does get wet, DON’T unplug the electrical cord. Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies power to the appliance, then unplug and examine for presence of water in the outlet. -
WARNING – This appliance can be used by children aged from 3 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.
-
To avoid injury, do not contact hot parts.
-
CAUTION – Always unplug or disconnect all appliances in the aquarium from electricity supply before placing hands in water, before putting on or taking off parts and while the equipment is being installed, maintained or handled.
When inserting or removing the heater from the water, always pull out the main electricity plug and do not pull the equipment out of the water until it has been allowed to cool for at least 30 minutes. Never yank cord to pull plug from outlet. Grasp the plug and pull to disconnect. Always unplug an appliance from an outlet when not in use. -
This appliance is an aquarium heater for use in ornamental aquariums. Do not use this appliance for other than its intended use (i.e.: don’t use it with inflammable or drinkable liquids, in garden ponds, swimming pools, bathtubs, etc., or other situations where people are immersed). This appliance is suitable for use in water temperatures up to 35°C. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition.
-
This heater is suitable for INDOOR/HOUSEHOLD use only. Do not install or store the appliance where it will be
exposed to the weather or to temperatures below freezing. -
Make sure that the heater is securely installed before operating it. The heater must be immersed in water at least up to the Minimum Water Level “min.” indicated (but without exceeding the depth of 39.5″ / 1 m). This aquarium heater must never operate outside of water.
-
If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with 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. The connection should be carried out by a qualified electrical installer.
-
Never use with an extension cord unless plug can be fully inserted. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
-
The power cord of this appliance cannot be replaced; if the cord is damaged, the appliance should be discarded. Never cut the cord.
-
CAUTION: This or any heater must never be operated outside of water.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION
To function efficiently, the aquarium heater must be positioned in a way that
allows for free water circulation around the glass heater tube. Ensure no
substrate or decorations are in contact with the heater.
CAUTION – The aquarium water level should never fall below the minimum
water line indicated on the glass heater tube. Note: In absence of water the
Fluvial T Series heater will automatically cut power to prevent overheating.
- Select the appropriate temperature by adjusting the Temperature Dial.
- Position the heater in the aquarium using the mounting bracket. Wait 30 minutes before plugging it in to allow the heater to adjust to the aquarium water temperature.
- Once the heater is powered on, it may take up to 12 hours for the water to reach the desired temperature. Adjustments to the temperature should only be made after this time.
- The Heat Indicator Ring will illuminate RED when the unit is heating. Once the selected temperature is attained, the unit will stop heating and the Heat Indicator Ring will illuminate BLUE.
- The aquarium water temperature should always be verified with an accurate thermometer.
