IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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

· FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
· WARNING! RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!

READ AND FOLLOW ALL 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 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.
• Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not be plugged in if there is water on parts not intended to be wet.
• Unplug the appliance from the socket outlet to disable any remote command.
• 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.
• 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 pre-vent water from dripping onto the receptacle or plug. A "drip loop", shown in the figure, 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 traveling along the cord and coming in contact with the receptacle. If the plug or socket 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.
