IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
– To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should
be observed, including the following.
READ AND FOLLOW
a)
ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
DANGER
b)
– 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 by yourself;
return the appliance to an authorized service facility for service or
discard the appliance.
1 ) If the appliance falls into the water,
unplug it and then retrieve it. If electrical components of the appliance
get wet, unplug the appliance immediately. (Non-immersible equip-
ment only)
2 ) If the appliance shows any sign of abnormal water leakage, im-
mediately unplug it from the power source. (Immersible equipment
only).
3 ) Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not
be plugged in if there is water on parts not intended to be wet.
4 ) Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, or
if it is malfunctioning or has been dropped or damaged in any manner.
5 ) 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 below, 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 traveling
along the cord and coming in contact with the receptacle.
If the plug or socket does get wet,
connect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies power to the ap-
pliance. Then unplug and examine for presence of water in the
receptacle.
c)
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near
children.
d)
To avoid injury, do not contact moving parts or hot parts such as
heaters, reflectors, lamp bulbs, and the like.
DON'T
reach for it! First
DON'T
unplug the cord. Dis-
