Special care

To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed, including the following:

1. Read and follow all safety instructions and all the important notices on the appliance before using the heater. Failure to do so may result in loss of fish life and/or damage to this appliance.

2. 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 yourself; return the appliance to an authorized service facility for service or discard the appliance.

A. If the appliance shows any sign of abnormal water leakage, immediately unplug it from the power source.

B. Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not be plugged in if there is water on parts not intended to be wet.

C. Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is malfunctioning or if it is dropped or damaged in any manner. The power cord of this appliance cannot be replaced; if the cord is damaged, the appliance should be discarded. Never cut the cord.

D. To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle getting wet, position the appliance to one side of a wall mounted receptacle to prevent water from dripping onto the receptacle or plug. A "drip loop" (see illustration B) should be arranged by the user for the cord connecting applianceto 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 from traveling 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 receptacle.

3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

4. To avoid injury, do not contact hot parts.

5. CAUTION - Always unplug or disconnect all appliances in the aquarium from electricity supply before placing hands in water, before putting on or taking off parts and while the equipment is being installed, maintained or handled. When inserting or removing the heater from the water, always pull out the mains electricity plug and do not pull the equipment out of the water until it has been allowed to cool for at least 30 minutes. Never yank cord to pull plug from outlet. Grasp the plug and pull to disconnect. Always unplug an appliance from an outlet when not in

use.

6. Do not use an appliance for other than intended use (i.e.: don t use this heater in swimming pools, garden ponds, bathrooms, etc.). The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition.

7. This heater is suitable for INDOOR use only. Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to the weather or to temperatures below freezing.

8. Make sure that the heater is securely installed before operating it. The heater must be immersed in water at least up the MIN. WATER LEVEL indicated (but without exceeding the depth of 100 cm). This aquarium heater must never operate outside of water.

9. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with 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. The connection should be carried out by a qualified electrical installer.
