ENGLISH: AQUARIUM

INSTRUCTIONS:
ITEM# AA-13E
Congratulations on purchasing Zoo Med's
new AQUACOOL Aquarium Cooling Fan! This
compact fan will help to prevent overheating
in your aquarium by directing airflow over the
water or up at the aquarium lighting. Please
read and follow these instructions carefully
before using your new fan. If you have any
questions regarding these instructions or the
proper use of this product, please contact our
customer service department at the phone
or email address listed below. Thank you for
purchasing a quality Zoo Med product!
FEATURES:
• Low voltage (12V) for maximum safety
when used near a wet environment.
• Better than overhead fans: Side-mounted
fan assembly to minimize water splash
on the motor and to prevent accidental
immersion.
• Multi-directional discharge nozzle for
precise air flow focus.
• Fully adjustable, wide discharge nozzle for
maximum cooling due to increased air/
water contact.
• Cools aquarium by one of the following
methods:
- Direct the nozzle upwards toward the
aquarium lamp fixture to dissipate some
of the radiant heat generated by your
aquarium lamps.
- Direct the nozzle so that air flows
over the surface of the water. This will
reduce the water temperature through
increased evaporative cooling.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE!
To reduce the risk of fire, injury, or
electric shock, read and follow these
instructions prior to operating the
AQUACOOL Aquarium Cooling Fan. Save
these instructions for future reference.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:
• Caution must be taken when using
electrical appliances near water. To reduce
the risk of electric shock, be sure that
the AQUACOOL Aquarium Cooling Fan is
unplugged during any of the following
situations:
- Unplug when installing the fan on or
over your aquarium.
- Unplug when adjusting the fan, or when
cleaning the fan housing.
- Unplug when performing aquarium
maintenance.
- Unplug before placing your hand(s) in
the water of the aquarium. Be sure that
your hands are completely dry before
plugging the AQUACOOL Aquarium Cool-
ing Fan into an appropriate grounded
GFCI outlet.
- Unplug if the AQUACOOL Aquarium
Cooling Fan comes into direct contact
with water, or if any part of the AQUA-
COOL Aquarium Cooling Fan becomes
wet.
- Unplug when not in use.
• When unplugging the AQUACOOL Aquarium
Cooling Fan, grasp the transformer/plug
to prevent damage to the power cord.
Never pull on the power cord to unplug the

• DO NOT splice, repair, or modify the power
cord or the transformer. Inspect the power
cord and transformer periodically for
damage.

tact an electrician if you are unsure about
the electrical connection.
• This unit has no user-serviceable parts.
Do not attempt to repair this product
yourself. Return to Zoo Med for inspection
and repair.
DRIP LOOP:
The AQUACOOL Aquarium Cooling Fan must
be plugged into a grounded GFCI (Ground Fault
Interrupted Circuit) receptacle with a "drip
loop" (see figure 1). The drip loop will prevent
water from running along the power cord and
getting the plug or wall receptacle wet. To
create a drip loop, be sure that a portion of the
power cord is lower than the level of the wall
receptacle as shown in figure 1. If you are un-
sure about the electrical supply and connec-
tion, contact a qualified licensed electrician. If
for any reason the plug or wall receptacle gets
wet, do not grasp or unplug the power cord
until after the power has been switched off at
the main fuse or circuit breaker.
