Delivery package and safety information
Dear customer, thank you for choosing a quality product from the Giesemann range.
Our experience in the field of aquatic products and modern lighting technology ensures high quality
standards for our products. Please read this operating manual carefully to ensure the complete func-
tionality and operational safety of your product for years to come. Failure to observe the following
points may be hazardous and may even breach existing regulations.
All Giesemann lamps carry the CE symbol. This can normally be found on the nameplate inside the
lamp or on the external control box.
When unpacking your lamp, check that it is in perfect condition and that all items included in the
delivery package are present. Damage to the lamp must be reported immediately to your stockist so
that any warranty claims may be asserted. The lamps must be installed by authorised professionals.
The lamps must not be operated if there is any identifiable damage to them, a fault has occurred or
they have been dropped, submerged in water or if they display any other kind of defect.
The lamps must never be used without the appropriate protective glass; broken protective panels must
be replaced immediately in order to ensure sufficient protection against splash water.
The lamps described are intended exclusively for the provision of lighting for indoor aquariums. The
lighting should be secured a minimum distance from the water surface and must never be operated
under water. It must not be placed on the edge of the aquarium, nor should it be installed in or behind
any form of lining or covering. The lamps and the electrical operating devices must be protected from
direct contact with splash water.
Take great care when using the lamps, especially if children or persons who are unable to assess the
dangers are in close proximity. To avoid the risk of suffocation, all packaging materials must be kept
out of reach of children!
Never look directly at the light source as bright lights may damage your eyes!
Maintenance work on the lamps may be carried out only once the lamps have been detached from the
ceiling or wall and have been fully disconnected from the electricity supply. For safety reasons work
should be carried out in the aquarium only once the lighting has been fully disconnected from the
power supply (mains plug pulled out).
The lamp housing and the protective glass panels are liable to become very warm during operation
and should be handled with care!
Ensure when cleaning that moisture does not enter the lamps through ventilation openings. Never
place objects over the ventilation grilles, and make sure sufficient heat transfer is possible at all times.
The improper use of the lamps will result in loss of warranty. Lamps must be transported and stored in
their original packaging.
The lamps are made from saltwater-resistant aluminium and are partly furnished with a high-quality
powder-coat finish. To keep the housing clean and light surfaces clear, they should be wiped regularly
with a damp cloth. Please note that salt deposits must be removed immediately, otherwise even
high-quality surfaces will be damaged over time. Failure to maintain the lamps will result in loss of
warranty.
Disposal: Once the lamps have reached the end of their service life they should be rendered unusable
by removing the plug from the socket and cutting the cable in two. Dispose of the lamps according to
the applicable environmental regulations in your country. Electrical waste must not be disposed of
together with household waste. For information on recycling options, please contact your local author-
ity or your stockist.
