IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING - To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed, including the following.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1.
and all important notices on the appliance before using. Failure to do so may result in damage to the unit.
2. DANGER – 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, do not attempt repairs yourself; return the appliance to an authorized service
facility for service or discard the appliance.
A. If the appliance shows any sign of abnormal water leakage or if RCD (or GFCI- Ground Fault Current Interrupter) switches
off disconnect the power supply cord from mains and remove the skimmer from the water.
B. Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not be plugged if there is water on parts not intended to be wet.
C. Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, or if it is malfunctioning or it is dropped or damaged
in any manner. The power cord of this appliance cannot be replaced; if the cord is damaged,
the appliance should be discarded. Never cut the cord.
D. To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle getting wet, position the
appliance to one side of a wall mounted receptacle to prevent water from dripping onto
the receptacle or plug. A "drip loop" (see illustration 1) should be arranged by the user for
the cord connecting 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
travelling along the cord and coming in contact with the receptacle. If the plug or receptacle
does get wet, DON'T unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies
power to the appliance. Then unplug and examine for presence of water in receptacle.
3. WARNING – Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for
their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
4. To avoid injury, do not touch moving parts or hot parts.
5. CAUTION – Always unplug or disconnect all appliances in the aquarium from electricity supply before placing hands in water,
before putting on or taking off parts and whilst the equipment is being installed, maintained or handled. When inserting or removing
the skimmer from the water, always pull out the main electricity plug. Never yank cord to pull plug from outlet. Grasp the plug and
pull to disconnect. Always unplug an appliance from an outlet when not in use.
6. This is an aquarium skimmer. Do not use this skimmer for other than intended use (i.e.: do not use in swimming pools, bathrooms,
etc.). The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition.
7. This skimmer is suitable for INDOOR/HOUSEHOLD use only. Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to the
weather or to temperatures below freezing.
8. Make sure that the skimmer is securely installed before operating it. Do not allow skimmer to run dry. The skimmer must be
immersed in water completely. This skimmer must never operate outside of water.
9. WARNING – For North American market only. This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety
feature, this plug will fit in a polarized socket only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the socket, 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.
10. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with 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.
The connection should be carried out by a qualified electrician.
