IMPORTAnT WARnIng And SAFEgUARdS
Read and follow all instructions.
The national code requires all aquarium equipment be plugged into a
GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) electrical outlet. The national
code requires that a GFCI be used in the branch circuit supplying all
water pumps and electrical aquarium equipment. If you do not have
a GFCI, have a licensed electrician install one prior to operating any
aquarium components.
Do not use with an extension cord or power strip.
Use this product for its intended use only.
Never yank or pull the cord from the electrical outlet.
Do not operate if the plug or wire is damaged. Discard unit.
Never let light fixture come in contact with water.
The light fixture must be turned off/disconnected
from the power supply before weekly
maintenance is done to either the light fixture or
the aquarium.
Verify that hands are dry prior to disconnecting
the power.
To reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all
connections dry.
If the light fixture falls or comes into contact with water/excess moisture,
unplug the light fixture from the power supply before removing. Failure to
do so may cause electrical shock or injury.
The light fixture and connections need to be free of water, moisture and
salt build-up at all times. Failure to do so will cause electrical arching
resulting in fire and/or electrical shock.

it is your sole responsibility to verify that the plug and the receptacle
are clean and free of moisture and salt build up at all times. The
receptacle must be free of water, salt, calcium and magnesium. Failure
to do so will cause fire and/or permanent damage to the light fixture.
Do not plug into an extension cord.The user must arrange a drip loop if
the pump is plugged into a gFCi outlet below the aquarium. a drip loop
is the part of the cord hanging below the receptacle.
