General Important Safety Instructions

WARNING: To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed when handling
the Strip Light Canopy, including the following:
1. For the complete enjoyment, use and understanding of this product, READ AND FOLLOW ALL
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS and all important notices on the appliance before using. Failure to do so
may result in loss of life and/or injury or damage to the unit.
2. DANGER – To avoid possible electrical shock, special care should be taken due to the close proximity
of the canopy to water. For each of the following situations, do not attempt repairs yourself; return the
appliance to an authorised service facility for service or discard the appliance. (See Customer Service
information at end)
If the unit falls into the water, DON'T reach for it! First unplug it and then retrieve it. If the electrical
components of the appliance get wet, unplug the appliance immediately.
Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not be plugged in if there is water on
parts not intended to be wet.
Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, or if it is malfunctioning or if 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.
To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug, switch or wall socket getting wet,
position the unit to one side of a wall mounted wall socket to prevent water
from dripping onto the socket or plug. A "drip loop" (see illustration) should
be arranged to the socket. The "drip loop" is that part of the cord below the
level of the socket (or the connector if an extension cord is used), to prevent
water travelling along the cord and coming into contact with the wall socket.

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 wall
socket.
3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. Do not allow children
to use this appliance. This appliance is not a toy.
4. To avoid injury, do not come into contact with moving parts or hot parts such as heaters, refl ectors,
lamp bulbs, etc.
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 whilst this STRIP-LIGHT 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.
WARNING: The line cord Switch on the Strip Light cannot be considered a safety switch.
6. Do not use an appliance for other than intended use (i.e. don't use on swimming pools, garden ponds,
bathrooms, etc.). The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer
