and whilst the equipment is being installed, maintained or handled. When inserting
or removing the skimmer from the water, always pull out the main electricity plug.
Never yank cord to pull plug from outlet. Grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.
Always unplug an appliance from an outlet when not in use.
6. This is an aquarium skimmer. Do not use this skimmer for other than intended
use (i.e.: do not use in swimming pools, bathrooms, etc.). The use of attachments
not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition.
• This skimmer is suitable for use in water temperatures up to 35 °C.
• Do not use this skimmer with flammable or drinkable liquids.
7. This skimmer is suitable for INDOOR/HOUSEHOLD use only. Do not install or store the
appliance where it will be exposed to the weather or to temperatures below freezing.
8. Make sure that the skimmer is securely installed before operating it. Do not allow
skimmer to run dry. The skimmer must be immersed in water completely. This
skimmer must never operate outside of water.
9. WARNING: For North American market 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
socket only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the socket, reverse the plug. If it
still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use with an extension cord
unless plug can be fully inserted. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
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.
The connection should be carried out by a qualified electrician.
