IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
- To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be
observed, including the following.
a) READ AND FOLLOW ALL
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
DANGER
b) - 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
1) If the appliance falls into the water, DON'T reach for it. First unplug it
then retrieve it. If electrical components of the appliance get wet, unplug
the appliance immediately. (Non-immersible equipment only)
2) If the appliance shows any sign of abnormal water leakage, immedi-
ately unplug it from the power source. (Immersible equipment only)
3) Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not be
plugged in if there is water on parts not intended to be wet.
4) Do not operate any appliance if it has damaged cord or plug, or if it is
malfunctioning or has been dropped or damaged in any manner.
5) To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle getting wet,
position aquarium stand and tank to one side of a wall-mounted recep-
tacle to prevent water from dripping onto receptacle or plug.
A „drip-loop", shown in the figure
„B", should be arranged by the
user for each cord connecting an
aquarium appliance to a recepta-

cord below the lever of the recep-

traveling along the cord and com-
ing in contact wit the receptacle.
If the plug or socket does get wet,
DON'T unplug the cord.
Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies power to the appli-
ance. Then unplug and examine for presence of water in the receptacle.
