Hagen Fluval UVC Mode D'emploi page 4

12. 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.
13. This appliance contains a UVC emitter. Unintended use of the appliance or damage to the housing area may result in
radiation. Exposure, even in small doses, may cause harm to eyes and skin. Damaged units should not be in operation.
