WARNING

following.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
a)
DANGER
b)
- To avoid possible electric shock, special care should be taken since water is emplo-
yed in the use of aquarium equipment. For each of the following situations, do not attempt repairs
yourself; return the appliance to an authorized service facility for service or discard the appliance
1)
If the appliance falls into the water, DON'T reach for it. First unplug it then retrieve it. If electrical
components of the appliance get wet, unplug the appliance immediately. (Non-immersible
equipment only)
2)
If the appliance shows any sign of abnormal water leakage, immediately unplug it from the
power source. (Immersible equipment only)

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 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 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 a part of the cord below the lever
of the receptacle, or the connector if an extension cord is used, to prevent water
traveling along the cord and coming in contact wit the receptacle.
If the plug or socket does get wet, DON'T unplug 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.
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 heater, reflectors, lamp bulbs, and
the like.
e)
Always unplug an appliance from an outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts,
and before cleaning. Never yank cord to pull plug from outlet. Grasp the plug and pull to
disconnect.
f)
Do not use an appliance for other than intended use. The use of attachments not recommended
or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition.
g)
Do not install or store the appliances where it will be exposed to the weather or to temperatures
below freezing.
h)
Make sure an appliance mounted on a tank is securely installed before operating it.
i)
Read and observe all the important notices on the appliance.
j)
If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a proper rating should be used. A cord rated for less
amperes or watts than the appliance rating may overheat. Care should be taken arrange the cord
so that it will not be tripped over or pulled.
