ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
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) Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, or if it doesn't work pro-
perly or has been dropped or damaged in any manner.
2) To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle getting wet, position aquarium
stand and tank or the fountain to one side of a wall-mounted receptacle to prevent water
from dripping onto the receptacle or plug.
A "drip-loop" (fig. 1) should be arranged by the user for each cord connecting an aquarium
appliance to a receptacle. The "drip-loop" is the part of the cord below the level of the recep-
tacle or the connector if an extension cord is
used, which prevents water travelling along the
cord and coming in contact with the receptacle.
If the plug or socket does get wet, DON'T un-
plug the cord. Disconnect the fuse or circuit
breaker that supplies power to appliance. Then
unplug and examine for presence of water in
the receptacle.
3) Close supervision is necessary when any
appliance is used by near children.
4) To avoid injury, do not contact moving parts
or hot parts such as heaters, reflectors, lamp
bulbs and similar.
5) Always unplug an appliance from an outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking
