1. 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.

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 plug or receptacle

getting wet, position aquarium stand and tank to one

side of wall-mounted receptacle to prevent water from

dripping onto the receptacle or plug. A “drip loop”

should be arranged by the user for each cord

connecting an aquarium appliance to a receptacle.

The “drip loop” is that part of the cord below the level

of the receptacle, or the connector if an extension

cord is used, 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 the receptacle.

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

b. To avoid injury, do not contact moving parts.

c. Always unplug an appliance form 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.

d. 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.

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

below freezing.

f. 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.
