and all the important notices on the appliance before using. Failure to do so may
result in loss of fish life and/or damage to this appliance.
2. 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 yourself; return the appliance to an authorized
service facility for service or discard the appliance.
A. If the appliance shows any sign of abnormal water leakage, immediately unplug
it from thepower source.
B. Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not be plugged in if
there is water on parts not intended to be wet. If the appliance or any part of it
falls into the water DO NOT reach for it. First unplug the unit before retrieving.

malfunctioning or 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.
D. To avoid the possibility of the
appliance plug or receptacle
getting wet, position the appliance
to one side of a wall mounted
receptacle to prevent water from
dripping onto the receptacle or
plug. A "drip loop" (see illustration)
should be arranged by the user for
the cord connecting 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 travelling along the
cord and coming in contact with the receptacle. If the plug or receptacle does
get wet, DO NOT unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that
supplies power to the appliance. Then unplug and examine for presence of
water in receptacle.

pulled. The connection should be carried out by a qualified electrical installer.
