IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING – To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed including
the following:
1.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
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 to repair 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 power.
B. Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It
should not be plugged in if there is water on the parts
not intended to be wet.
C. 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.
D. To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or
receptacle getting wet, position aquarium stand and
tank to one side of the wall-mounted receptacle to
prevent water from dripping onto the receptacle or
plug. As shown in the figure, a “drip loop” should be
arranged by the user for each cord connecting an
aquarium appliance to the receptacle. The “drip loop”
is the part of the cord below the level of the receptacle,
or the connector if an extension cord is used, to prevent
water travel along the cord and coming in contact with
the receptacle. If the plug or the receptacle does get
wet, DON’T unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse to the
circuit breaker that supplies power to the appliance.
Then unplug and examine for the presence of water in
the receptacle.
3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
4. To avoid injury, do not contact moving parts or hot parts such as heaters, reflectors, lamp
bulbs, etc.
5. Always unplug an appliance from the outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off
parts, and before cleaning. Never yank the cord to pull plug from the outlet. Grasp the plug and
pull to disconnect.
6. 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.
7. Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to the weather or to temperatures
below freezing.
8. Make sure an appliance mounted on a tank is securely installed before operating it.
9. Read and observe all the important notices on the appliance.
10. 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.
ONLY FOR POLARIZED ATTACHMENT PLUG APPLIANCES
11. This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other) as a safety feature, this
plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use with an extension cord
unless plug can be fully inserted. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
12. CAUTION: DO NOT RUN DRY, FOR INDOOR AND HOUSHOLD USE ONLY, IMPEDENCE
PROTECTED (Z.P.), Maximum submersible depth for pump is 1.2m.

CONSIGNES DE SÉCURITÉ IMPORTANTES
AVERTISSEMENT – Pour protéger contre les blessures, respecter les consignes de sécurité de base,
notamment ce qui suit :
1.
LIRE ET RESPECTER TOUTES LES
INSTRUCTIONS DE SÉCURITÉ.
2. DANGER – Pour écarter les risques de décharge électrique, faire preuve de précautions
particulières en raison de la présence d’eau dans l’aquarium. Dans chacune des situations
ci-dessous, ne pas tenter de réparer soi-même ; renvoyer l’appareil à un centre de réparation
agréé ou le mettre au rebut.
A. Si l’appareil montre des signes de fuite d’eau anormale, le débrancher immédiatement.
B. Examiner l’appareil avec soin après son installation. Ne pas le brancher
s’il y a de l’eau sur des pièces non destinées à être mouillées.
C. Ne pas utiliser un appareil s’il a un cordon ou une fiche
endommagés, s’il fonctionne mal, s’il est tombé ou s’il a
été endommagé d’une quelconque façon.
D. Pour écarter le risque de mouiller la fiche de l’appareil
ou la prise de courant, placer le socle et la cuve de
l’aquarium sur le côté par rapport à la prise murale,
afin d’éviter que l’eau ne goutte sur la prise ou la
fiche. Prévoir une « boucle d’égouttement », illustrée
ci-dessous, sur chaque cordon qui raccorde un appareil
de l’aquarium à la prise de courant. La « boucle
d’égouttement » est la portion de cordon en dessous
du niveau de la prise, ou du connecteur si un cordon de
rallonge est utilisé, pour empêcher l’eau de s’écouler le
long du cordon et de venir au contact de la prise. Si la
fiche ou la prise sont mouillées, NE PAS débrancher le
cordon. Couper l’électricité au niveau du disjoncteur qui
alimente l’appareil. Débrancher ensuite le cordon et voir
s’il y a de l’eau dans la prise de courant.
3. Une supervision étroite est nécessaire lors de l’utilisation
de tout appareil électrique par des enfants ou à leur proximité.
4. Pour éviter les blessures, ne pas toucher de pièces en mouvement ni de pièces chaudes telles que
radiateurs, réflecteurs, ampoules, etc.
5. Toujours débrancher un appareil de la prise de courant lorsqu’il n’est pas utilisé, avant de poser ou
d’enlever des pièces et avant de le nettoyer. Ne jamais tirer sur le cordon pour sortir la fiche de la
prise. Saisir la fiche et tirer pour débrancher.
6. Ne pas utiliser un appareil à d’autres fins que celles prévues. L’emploi d’accessoires non
recommandés ni vendus par le fabricant de l’appareil peut produire une situation dangereuse.
7. Ne pas installer ni entreposer l’appareil dans un endroit exposé aux intempéries ou à des
températures inférieures au gel.
8. S’assurer qu’un appareil monté sur un aquarium est solidement installé avant de le mettre en
marche.
9. Lire et respecter toutes les consignes importantes figurant sur l’appareil.
10. Si un cordon de rallonge est nécessaire, utiliser un cordon de capacité suffisante. Un cordon prévu
pour des intensités (A) ou des puissances (W) inférieures à celles de l’appareil peut surchauffer.
Veiller à disposer le cordon de manière à éviter tout risque de trébuchement ou d’arrachement.
APPAREILS À FICHE POLARISÉE SEULEMENT
11. Cet appareil est muni d’une fiche polarisée (une lame est plus large que l’autre) comme mesure de
sécurité; cette fiche ne peut être branchée dans une prise polarisée que dans un sens. Si la fiche ne
rentre pas complètement dans la prise, retourner la fiche. Si elle ne rentre toujours pas, contacter
un électricien qualifié. Ne jamais utiliser avec un cordon de rallonge si la fiche ne s’enfonce par
complètement. Ne pas tenter de contourner ce dispositif de sécurité.
12. ATTENTION : NE PAS FAIRE FONCTIONNER À SEC, POUR USAGE DOMESTIQUE ET À L’INTÉRIEUR
SEULEMENT, PROTECTION CONTRE L’IMPÉDANCE (Z.P.), la profondeur maximale de submersion de
la pompe est de 1,2 m.
