IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING - To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed,
including the following:

1.
2. DANGER – To avoid possible electrical shock, special care should be taken since
water is employed in the use of aquarium equipment.
3. Never attempt to repair this appliance yourself. Return the appliance to an
authorized service facility for service or discard the appliance. Do not operate
the appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug. If cord is damaged, the appliance

A. If the appliance falls into the water, DO NOT reach for it. First unplug the appliance
and then retrieve it from the water. If electrical components of the appliance get
wet, unplug it immediately and allow the appliance to thoroughly dry. Carefully
examine the appliance after installation. It should not be plugged in if water is
present on parts not intended to be wet.
B. To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug getting wet, position the
tank to the side of a wall mounted receptacle to prevent water from
dripping onto the receptacle. A "drip loop", should be arranged by the
user for each cord connecting an aquarium device to the receptacle.
The "drip loop" is the part of the cord below the level of the receptacle
or the connector if an extension cord is in use, to prevent the water
from travelling along the cord and coming into contact with the receptacle.
If plug or receptacle gets wet, DO NOT unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse
or circuit breaker that supplies power to the receptacle then unplug the
transformer and examine for the presence of water in the receptacle.
