plug, or if it is malfunctioning or has been dropped or da-maged

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 receptacle to prevent water from dripping onto

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.

Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies power
to the appliance. Then unplug and examine for presence of
water in the receptacle.
