INSTRUCTIONS WARNING- To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed, including the following.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS. ‧ 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. ‧ If the appliance shows any sign of abnormal water leakage, immediately unplug it from the power source. ‧ Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not be plugged in if there is water on parts not intended to be wet. ‧ Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, or if it is malfunctioning or if it is dropped or damaged in any manner. ‧ To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle getting wet, position aquarium stand and tank to one side of a wall mount

ed receptacle to prevent water from dripping onto the receptacle or plug. A “drip loop”, shown in the 󰘰gure, should be arranged by the user for each cord connecting the aquarium appliance to a recep

tacle. The “drip loop” is that part of the cord below the level of the receptacle, 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. ‧ Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. ‧ To avoid injury, do not contact hot parts. ‧ Always unplug an appliance from an outlet when not in use, before putting or taking o󰘯 parts, and before cleaning. Never yank cord to pull plug from outlet. Grasp the plug and pull to disconnect. ‧ Do not use an appliance for other than intended use. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance manufac

turer may cause an unsafe condition. ‧ Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to the weather or to temperatures below freezing. ‧ Make sure an appliance mounted on a tank is securely installed before operating it. DRIP LOOP POWER SUPPLY CORDEnglish

‧ Read and observe all the important notices on the appliance and its cord. ‧ 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. ‧ This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will 󰘰t in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not 󰘰t fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If still does not 󰘰t, contact a quali󰘰ed electrician. Never use with an extension cord unless plug can be fully inserted. Do not attempt to defeat this feature. ‧ Check that the voltage shown on the label of the unit corresponds to the voltage of the mains supply. ‧ Disconnect all electrical appliances from the mains before placing hands in the water. ‧ The line cord of this unit cannot be replaced or repaired. Should the line cord become damaged the appliance must be discarded.

KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Risks for persons and property can arise from this appliance if the appliance is im- properly used or not used as intended or if the safety instructions are not heeded. For your safety ‧ This appliance can be used by children from the age of 8 and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and/or knowledge if they are supervised and have been instructed in the safe use of the appliance and have understood the resulting dangers. Children must not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance must not be carried out by children unless they are supervised. ‧ Before use, carry out a visual inspection to ensure that the appliance, especially the mains cable and plug, are undamaged. Make sure that the glass body of the heating rod is not broken or cracked. ‧ Before commissioning, the appliance must be immersed to the MIN. WATER LEVEL marking underneath the water, and no less. The appliance must never be operated out of water. ‧ After disconnection from the mains, the appli

ance must be left in the water for 30 minutes in order to cool down.English

‧ A hot appliance must never be placed on heat-sensitive surfaces! ‧ Repairs must only be carried out by an EHEIM service centre. ‧ The mains cable of this appliance cannot be replaced. If the cable is damaged, the appli

ance must be scrapped. ‧ Only carry out the work described in these instructions. ‧ Only use original spare parts and accessories for the appliance. ‧ We recommend protecting all electrical aquarium appliances via a residual current protective device with a rated residual current of 30 mA maximum. ‧ If they are not being used, always disconnect all devices in the aquarium from the power supply before you install/remove any parts and before all cleaning and maintenance work. ‧ Protect the mains socket and mains plug against moisture and wetness. A drip loop must be formed with the mains cable. This prevents any water running along the cable to the mains socket, which would result in a short-circuit. ‧ The electrical data of the appliance must match the data of the power mains. This data is found on the type plate, the packaging and in these instructions.
