Safety Instructions - EHEIM Professionel 3 250 Mode D'emploi

USA
1) If the appliance falls into the water,
ponents of the appliance get wet, unplug the appliance immediately. (Non-immersible equipment only)
2) If the appliance shows any sign of abnormal water leakage, immediately unplug it from the power source.
(Immersible equipment only)
3) Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not be plugged in if there is water on parts not in-
tended to be wet.
4 ) Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, or if it is mal-
functioning or has been dropped or damaged in any manner.
5) To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle getting wet, posi-
tion aquarium stand and tank to one side of a wall-mounted receptacle to pre-
vent water from dripping onto the receptacle or plug.
A "drip loop", shown in the figure, should be arranged by the user for each
cord connecting an aquarium 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 traveling along the cord and coming
in contact with the receptacle.
If the plug or socket does get wet,
fuse or circuit breaker that supplies power to the appliance. Then unplug and
examine for presence of water in the receptacle.
c) Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
d) To avoid injury, do not contact moving parts or hot parts such as heaters, reflectors, lamp bulbs, and the like.
e) Always unplug an appliance from an outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before
cleaning. Never yank cord to pull plug from outlet. Grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.
f) 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.
g) Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to the weather or to temperatures below freezing.
h) Make sure an appliance mounted on a tank is securely installed before operating it.
i) Read and observe all the important notices on the appliance.
j) If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a proper rating should be used. A cord rated for less amperes or
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.
k) 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.
