GROUNDING

Grounding Setup:
This appliance should be grounded to minimize
the possibility of electric shock. This appliance
is equipped with an electric cord having
an equipment grounding conductor and
a grounding type plug. The plug must be
plugged into an outlet that is installed and
grounded in accordance with all appropriate
codes and ordinances.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt
circuit, and has a grounding plug that looks like
the plug illustrated in Figure A2.

A temporary adaptor which looks like the
adaptor shown (Figure A3) may be used to
connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle as
shown in Figure A4, if a grounded outlet is not
available. The temporary adapter should be
used only until a grounded outlet can be
installed by a qualified electrician.
(Temporary adapter not included.)

Power Strip Setup:

1. If using a power strip, the ground connector
must be plugged into a receptacle controlled by
a GFI (ground fault interrupter) circuit breaker.
2. Make sure to place the power strip in a dry and
safe area away from the aquarium in order to
avoid moisture.
3. Place power strip in a secure and stable area so
that it cannot fall into the aquarium or sump.
4. Make sure all receptacles are protected from
water: splash, spilling and evaporation.
