Important Safeguards

To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be

observed, including the following:

1. Read and follow all safety instructions and important notices in

these instructions as well as on the product itself.

2. This appliance is not intended for use by children or inﬁ rm persons

without supervision. Young children should be supervised to ensure

that they do not play with the appliance.

3. To avoid possible electric shocks, 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 authorised service facility for service or discard the

appliance.

a. If the appliance or any electrical component of the appliance (non-

immersible equipment only) falls into the water or gets wet, do not

reach for it. Unplug it and then retrieve it.

b. If the appliance shows any sign of abnormal water leakage,

immediately unplug it from the power source

c. Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not be

plugged in if there is water on parts which are not intended to be wet.

d. Do not operate the appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, or if

it is malfunctioning, or dropped or damaged in any manner.

4. A "drip loop" (see graphic) should be arranged for each cable

connecting an aquarium to a power supply. The drip loop is the part

of the cable below the level of the power supply. It prevents water

travelling down the cable and coming into contact with the power

supply. If the plug or the socket does get wet, do not unplug the

appliance. Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies the

power to the appliance, then unplug and examine for presence of

water in the socket.

5. Always unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet when not

in use, before putting on or taking off parts, before any type of

maintenance or cleaning.

6. Never yank the cable to pull it from the socket. Pull the plug

carefully to disconnect.

7. Do not use the appliance for reasons other than the intended

use. The use of attachments that are not recommended or sold by

the manufacturer may cause the product to be unsafe. This is not

recommended.

8. Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to

weather or temperatures below freezing.

9. Make sure any component mounted on a tank is securely installed

before operating it.

10. Ensure input voltage is the same voltage as your local power

supply.

11. If an extension cable is used it should have the proper rating.

Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it will not be tripped

or pulled.

12. A G.F.C.I (Ground fault circuit interrupter) & surge protector is

recommended for all electrical appliances.

13. Ensure your hands are dry when turning the power switch on/off

and when inserting/removing the power cable from the socket.

14. If you are in any doubt about the electrical installation or safety of

this product you must consult a qualiﬁ ed electrician.
