– Do not use an appliance for other than intended use. The use of attach-
ments not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cau-
se an unsafe condition.
– Read and observe all the important notices on the appliance and its cord.
– Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it will not be tripped over
or pulled.
– 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; discard the appli-
ance.
• If the appliance shows any sign of abnormal water leakage, immediately
unplug it from the power source.
• Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, or
if it is malfunctioning or if it is dropped or damaged in any manner.
• 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 the receptacle or plug.
"drip loop", shown in the figure, should be arranged by the user for each
cord connecting the aquarium appliance to a receptacle. The "drip loop" is
that part of the cord below the level of the receptacle, to prevent water tra-
velling along the cord and coming in contact with the receptacle.
• If the plug or receptacle does get wet, DON'T unplug the cord, disconnect
the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies power to the appliance. Then unp-
lug and examine for presence of water in the receptacle.
