plugged in if there is water on parts not intended to be wet.
4) Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, or if it

5) To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle getting wet,
position aquarium stand and tank to one side of a wall-mounted recep-
tacle to prevent water from dripping onto the receptacle or plug.
A "drip-loop", shown in the figure below, 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.

overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it will not be
tripped over or pulled.
