IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING – To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed,
including the following:
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
and all the important notices on the appliance before using. Failure to do so may result in loss
of fish life and/or damage to this appliance.
2. 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 yourself; return the appliance to an authorized service facility for service or
discard the appliance.
A. If the appliance shows any sign of abnormal water leakage, immediately unplug it from the
power source.
B. Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not be plugged in if there is
water on parts not intended to be wet. If the appliance or any part of it falls into the water
DO NOT reach for it. First unplug the unit before retrieving.
C. Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, or if it is malfunctioning or it
is dropped or damaged in any manner. The power cord of this appliance cannot be
replaced; if the cord is damaged, the appliance should be discarded. Never cut the cord.
D. To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or
receptacle getting wet, position the appliance to
one side of a wall mounted receptacle to prevent
water from dripping onto the receptacle or plug.
A “drip loop” (see illustration) should be arranged
by the user for the cord connecting appliance to a
receptacle. “The drip loop” is that part of the cord
below the level of the receptacle or the connector
if an extension cord is used, to prevent water
travelling along the cord and coming in contact
with the receptacle. If the plug or receptacle does
get wet, DO NOT unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies
power to the appliance. Then unplug and examine for presence of water in receptacle.
3. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with significantly
impaired physical or mental capabilities, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should always be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
4. To avoid injury, do not touch moving parts or hot parts.
5.
CAUTION - Always unplug or disconnect all appliances in the aquarium from electricity supply
before placing hands in water, before putting on or taking off parts and while the equipment is
being installed, maintained or handled. 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. Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to weather or temperatures
below freezing. FOR INDOOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. DO NOT IMMERSE.
7. Make sure the appliance is mounted correctly and securely positioned on the aquarium
before operating the appliance.
8. 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 electrical installer.
9. Use only with AC adapter supplied with this product.
