IMPORTANT
SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
– To guard against injury, basic
safety precautions should be observed,
including the following:
1.
READ AND
FOLLOW
ALL SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
and all the important notices on the
appliance before using. Failure to do so may
result in loss of fish life and/or damage to
this appliance.
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 immediately disconnect the power supply
cord from the main power supply.
B.
Carefully examine the appliance after
installation. It should not be plugged in if
there is water on parts not intended to be
wet. If the appliance or any part of it falls into
the water DO NOT reach for it. First unplug
the unit before retrieving.
C.
Do not operate any appliance if it has a
damaged cord, transformer or plug. If cord is
damaged, the luminaire should be destroyed.
D.
A “drip loop”, shown in the figure below,
should be arranged by the user for each
cord connecting an aquarium appliance to
the socket. 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. This
prevents water from traveling along the cord
and coming into with the socket or power
supply. If the plug or socket gets wet,
DO
NOT
unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse
or circuit breaker that supplies power to the
appliance then unplug and examine for the
presence of water in the socket.
3. WARNING:
This appliance is not intended
for use by persons (including children) with
significantly impaired physical or mental
capabilities, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning the
use of the appliance by a person responsible
for their safety. Children should always be
supervised to ensure that they do not play
with the appliance.
4.
To avoid injury, do not contact moving
parts or hot parts such as heaters, reflectors,
lamp bulbs and the like.
5. CAUTION:
Always unplug the appliance
from the outlet when not in use, before
putting on or taking off parts and before
cleaning. Never yank the cord to pull the
power supply from the outlet. Grasp the
power supply and pull to disconnect. The use
of attachments not recommended or sold by
the appliance manufacturer may cause an
unsafe condition.
