IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed, including the following:
A. READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
B. 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
by 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 and then retrieve it. If
electrical components of the appliance get wet, unplug the appliance immediately. (Non-immersible
equipment only)
2. Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not be plugged in if there is water on
parts not intended to be wet.
3. Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, or if it is malfunctioning or has been
dropped or damaged in any manner.
4. WARNING - 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 the 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 that part of
the cord below the level of the receptacle, or the connector if an extension cord is used, to prevent
water traveling along the cord and coming in contact with the receptacle. If the plug or receptacle
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.
