IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed including the following:

READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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, return the appliance to an authorized service facility for service or discard the appliance.

1. 1. If the appliance shows any sign of abnormal water leakage, immediately unplug it from the power source.
   2. Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not be plugged in if there is water on the 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 if it is dropped or damaged in any manner.
   4. To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle getting wet, position aquarium stand and tank to one side of the wall mounted receptacle to prevent water from dripping onto the receptacle or plug. As shown in the figure below, a "drip loop" should be arranged by the user for each cord connecting an aquarium appliance 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 used, t o prevent water travel along the cord and coming in contact with the receptacle. If the plug or the receptacles do get wet, DON'T unplug the cord. D isconnect the fuse to the circuit breaker that s upplies power to the appliance. Then unplug and examine for the presence of water in t he receptacle.
2. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance i s used by or near children.
3. To avoid injury, do not contact moving parts or h ot parts such as heaters, reflectors, lamp bulbs, etc.
4. Always unplug an appliance from the outlet when n ot in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning. Never yank the cord to pull plug from the outlet. Grasp the plug and pull t o disconnect.
5. Do not use an appliance for other than intended use. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition.
6. Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to the weather or to temperatures below freezing.
7. Make sure an appliance mounted on a tank is securely installed before operating it.
8. Read and observe all the important notices on the appliance.
9. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a proper rating should be used. A cord rated for less amperesor watts than the appliance rating may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it will not be tripped over or pulled.

ONLY FOR POLARIZED ATTACHMENT PLUG APPLIANCES

10. If this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other) as a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use with an extension cord unless plug can be fully inserted. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
