6. This is a non submersible AQUARIUM LUMINAIRE (Strip-Light), suitable for INDOOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY,
for use on Fluval PROFILE TOP COVER FRAMES only, for fresh and salt water aquariums with max 35° C (95°F)
water temperature. Do not use this appliance for different aquariums or applications. The use of attachments not

indicated on the electrical data label located on the Strip-Light.
8. Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather or to temperatures below freezing.
9. IMPORTANT: Make sure that the Strip-Light is securely and correctly installed before operating it and that the
minimum distance between the bottom of the strip-light and water surface is 15mm (0.6in). This Strip-Light must
never operate in water. WARNING. The safety of this Strip-Light is guaranteed provided that both lamps are inserted
and all threaded fittings are properly installed.
10. 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.
11. WARNING. Risk of overheating: do not place any object(s) on the Strip-light. Ensure sufficient air space around
the Strip-Light.
12. (For North America only) 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 into the outlet, reverse the
plug. If the plug will still not fit fully into the outlet, contact a qualified electrician to inspect the outlet and make the
needed alterations. Never use with an extension cord unless the plug can be fully inserted. Do not attempt to defeat
this safety feature.
