To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed when handling the Fluval Canister
1. READ & FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS and all the
important notices on the appliance before using. Failure to
do so may result in the loss of fish life and/or damage to
the 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 falls into the water, DON'T reach
for it! First unplug it and then retrieve it. If electrical
components of the appliance get wet, unplug the
appliance immediately.
B. If the applicance shows any sign of abnormal water
leakage or if RCD (or GFCI – Ground Fault Current
Interrupter) switches off disconnect the power supply
cord from the mains and remove pump from water.
C. Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It
should not be plugged if there is water on parts not
intended to be wet.

appliance cannot be replaced. If the cord is damaged,
the appliance should be discarded. Never cut the cord.
E. To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or
receptacle getting wet, position the appliance to one
side of a wall mounted receptacle. To prevent water
from dripping onto the receptacle or plug, a "drip loop"
(see photo) should be arranged by the user in the cord
connecting appliance to a receptacle. The "drip loop" is
that part of the cord below the level of the receptacle or
the connector, to prevent water travelling 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 unplug
and examine for presence
of water in receptacle.
