READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
– 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 by yourself; return the appliance to an autho-
rized service facility for service or discard the appliance.
– If the appliance falls into the water DON'T reach for it. First unplug the appli-
ance immediately (Nonimmersible equipment only)
– If the appliance shows any sign of abnormal water leakage, immediately
unplug it from the power source.
– Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not be plug-
ged in if there is water on parts not intended to be wet.
– Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, or if it' s
malfunctioning or if it is dropped or damaged in any manner.
– Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it will not be tripped
over or pulled.
– 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. "drip loop", shown in the fi-
gure, should be arranged by the user for
each cord connecting the aquarium ap-
pliance to a receptacle. The "drip loop" is that part of the cord below the level of
the receptacle, to prevent water travelling along the cord and coming in contact
with the receptacle. If the plug or receptacle does get wet, DON'Tunplug the cord;
disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies power to the appliance. Then
unplug and examine for presence of water in the receptacle.
– Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near
children.
– To avoid injury, do not contact moving parts.
– lways unplug an appliance from an outlet when not in use, before put-
ting or taking off parts, and before cleaning. Never yank cord to pull plug
from outlet. Grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.
– Do not use an appliance for other than intended use. The use of attach-
ments not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may
cause an unsafe condition.
– Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to the we-
ather or to temperatures below freezing.
– Make sure an appliance mounted on a tank is securely installed before
operating it.
– Read and observe all the important notices on the appliance and its cord.
– If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a proper rating should be
used. 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.
