IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING - To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed including the following:
READ & FOLLOW ALL
1.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
and all the important notices on the appliance before using. Failure
to do so may result in the loss of fish life and/or damage to the
appliance.
DANGER
– To avoid possible electric shock, special care should be
2.
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 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.
B. 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 the mains.
C. Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not
be plugged in if there is water on parts not intended to be wet.
D. Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug,
or if it is malfunctioning or 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.
E. To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle
getting wet, position the appliance to one side of a wall mounted
receptacle. To prevent water from dripping onto the receptacle
or plug, a "drip loop" (see picture) should be arranged by the
user in the cord connecting appliance to a receptacle. The "drip
loop" is that part of the cord below the level of the receptacle
or the connector, to prevent
water travelling along the cord
and coming in contact with
the receptacle. 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 receptacle.
