Safety
PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER: To avoid possible electric shock, special care should be taken when handling a wet aquarium.
For each of the following situations, do not attempt repairs yourself; return the appliance to an authorized
service facility for service or discard the appliance.
WARNING: To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed, including the following:
Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is malfunctioning, or if it is dropped or
damaged in any manner.
If the external cable Is damaged, It shall be replaced by the manufacturer.
To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle getting wet, position the aquarium stand and
tank to one side of a wall mounted receptacle to prevent water from dripping onto the receptacle or
plug. You should create a "drip loop" (see Figure 1) 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. Use
an extension cord, if necessary, to prevent water traveling along the cord and coming into contact with the
receptacle. If the plug or receptacle does get wet, DO NOT unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse or circuit
breaker that supplies power to the appliance. Then unplug the device and examine for presence of water in
the receptacle.
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by
or near children.
To avoid injury, do not contact moving parts.
Always unplug an appliance from an outlet when not in use, before putting on or
taking off parts, and before cleaning. Never pull the cord itself to remove the plug
from the outlet. Grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.
Do not use an appliance for anything other than its intended use. The use of
attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause an
unsafe condition.
Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to the weather or to
temperatures below freezing point.
Make sure an appliance mounted on a tank is securely installed before operating it.
Read and observe all the important notices on the appliance.

NOTE: 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 cannot be tripped over or pulled accidental.
