SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

DANGER: Since water is employed in the use of aquarium equipment, special care should be taken to avoid electric shock. For each of the following situations, do not attempt to repair the appliance yourself. Return it to an authorized service facility for service, or discard it.

1. A. If the appliance falls into the water, do not reach for it. First unplug it and then retrieve it. B. If electrical components of the appliance get wet, unplug the appliance immediately. C. Carefully examine the appliance after installa tion. It should not be plugged in if there

is water on parts not intended to get wet.

D. Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is malfunctioning, or if it has been

dropped or damaged in any manner.

E. To avoid the possibility of water dripping onto the appliance plug or outlet,

position aquarium stand and tank to one side of a wall-mounted outlet. A “drip loop” (see illustration) should be arranged for each cord connecting an aquarium appliance to an outlet. The “drip loop” is the part of the cord below the level of the outlet (or extension cord connector) that prevents water from traveling along the cord to the outlet. If the plug or outlet gets wet, do not unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies power to the appliance. Then unplug the appliance and examine the outlet for presence of water.

2. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.

3. To avoid injury, do not contact moving parts or hot parts such as heaters, reflectors, lamp bulbs, etc.

4. Always unplug an appliance from an outlet when it is not in use, before putting on or taking off its parts, and

before cleaning it. Never yank cord to pull plug from outlet. Grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.

5. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a proper rating should be used. A cord rated for fewer

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.

6. Do not use an appliance for other than its intended use. The use of attachments not recommended or sold

by the appliance manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition.

7. Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to the weather or to temperatures below

freezing.

8. Make sure the appliance is securely mounted on aquarium before operating it.
