IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING
- To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed, including the following:
A) READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
B) 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 by yourself; return the
appliance to an authorized service facility for service or discard the appliance:
1) CAUTION: If the appliance falls into the water, DON'T reach for it! First unplug it and the retrieve it. If electrical
components of the appliance get wet, unplug the appliance immediately. (Non-immersible equipment only)
2) If the appliance shows any sign of abnormal water leakage, immediately unplug it from the power source. (Non-
immersible equipment only)
3) Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not be plugged in if there is water on parts not
intended to be wet.
4) Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, or if it is malfunctioning or has been dropped or
damaged in any manner.
5) To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle getting wet,
position aquarium stand and tank or the fountain to one side of a wall-
mounted receptacle to prevent water from dripping onto the receptacle or
plug. A "drip-loop" shown in the Figure A should be arranged by the user for
each cord connecting an aquarium appliance to a receptacle. The "drip-loop"
is the part of the cord below the 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. If the plug or receptacle does get wet,
DON'T unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies
power to appliance. Then unplug and examine for presence of water in the
receptacle.
C) Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
D) To avoid injury, do not contact moving parts or hot parts such as heaters, reflectors, lamp bulbs and the like.
E) Always unplug an appliance from an outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts and before
cleaning. Never yank cord to pull plug from outlet. Grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.
F) Do not use an appliance for other than intended use. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the
appliance manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition.
G) Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to the weather or to temperatures below freezing.
H) Make sure an appliance mounted on a tank is securely installed before operating it.
I) Read and observe all the important notices of the appliance.
J) If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a proper rating should be used. A cord rated for less amperes or
watts than the appliance rating may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it will not be
tripped over, pulled, or placed where the appliance plug and extension cord plug will be exposed to water.
K) This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician. Never use with an extension cord unless plug can be fully inserted. Do no attempt
to defeat this safety feature.
EXCEPTION: This instruction may be omitted for an appliance that is not provided with a polarized attachment plug.
