WARNING: PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING
SAFETY INFORMATION FIRST.
DANGER: To avoid a possible electric shock, ensure all electrical
devices are switched off when carrying out maintenance. Take extra
care when handling a wet aquarium. Do not attempt repairs yourself;
return the appliance to the place of purchase for service or dispose of
the appliance.
• To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug
or socket getting wet, position the aquarium
cabinet and tank to one side of a wall mounted
socket to prevent water from dripping onto
the socket or plug. You should create a "drip
loop" for each cord connecting an aquarium
appliance to a socket. The "drip loop" is that
part of the cord below the level of the socket,
or the connector. Use an extension cord,
if necessary, to prevent water travelling along
the cord and coming into contact with the
socket.
• Always unplug an appliance from an outlet when not in use, before putting on or
taking off parts, and before cleaning. Never pull the cord itself to remove the plug
from the outlet. Hold the plug and pull to disconnect.
• If the plug or socket does get wet, DO NOT unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse or
circuit breaker that supplies power to the appliance. Then unplug the device and
examine for presence of water in the socket.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
• Do not use an appliance for anything other than its intended use. The use of
attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause
an unsafe condition.
• Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to the weather or to
temperatures below freezing point.
• Make sure an appliance mounted on a tank is securely installed before operating it.
Read carefully all the important notices on the appliance and the corresponding
instruction manual.
NOTE: 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 cannot be tripped over or pulled
accidentally.
It is important to ensure that any water that is spilled
onto the cabinet is wiped off and dried immediately.
Failure to do so will invalidate the warranty.
