IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
- To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed, including the following:
1.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS.
2.
DANGER
– To avoid possible electrical shock, special care should be taken since water is employed in the use
of aquarium equipment.
3. Never attempt to repair this appliance yourself. Return the appliance to an authorized service facility for
service or discard the appliance. Do not operate the appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug. If cord is
damaged, the appliance should be destroyed.
A. If the appliance falls into the water,
DO NOT
reach for it. First unplug the appliance and then retrieve
it from the water. If electrical components of the appliance get wet, unplug it immediately and allow
the appliance to thoroughly dry. Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not be
plugged in if water is present on parts not intended to be wet.
B. 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
un-plug 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.

(For North America 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 outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the
outlet, reverse the plug. If the plug will still not fit fully into the outlet, contact a qualified electrician to
inspect the outlet and make the needed alterations. Never use with an extension cord unless the plug can
be fully inserted. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
