DANGER
- To avoid possible electric shock, special care should be
taken 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. A) If the appliance shows any sign of abnormal water leakage, im-

be plugged in if there is water on parts not intended to be wet.
C) Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, or

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.
