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) If the appliance shows any sign of abnormal water leakage, immediately unplug it  from the power source.

2) Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not be plugged in if there is water on parts  not intended to be wet.

3) 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.

4) 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.

A) "drip loop," shown in the figure (1) below, should be arranged by the user for each cord connecting an aquarium appliance to a receptacle, or the connector if an extension cord is used, to prevent water traveling along the cord and coming in contact with the receptacle.

B) If the plug or receptacle does get wet, DON'T unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies power to the heater. 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 recom
mended 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 on 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 or pulled.

misuse and may result in damage to heater and/or environment.
