13. SAVE THIS USER MANUAL.

If the AQQA AQ159 falls into the water, DO NOT touch it. First unplug it, then retrieve it. If the electrical components of the appliance get wet, unplug it immediately.

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

Do not operate the filter if it has a damaged cord or plug, is malfunctioning, dropped, or damaged in any manner. The power cord of this filter cannot be replaced. If the cord is damaged, the filter should be discarded.

To avoid the possibility of the filter plug getting wet, position the aquarium and its stand to one side of a wall mounted outlet to prevent water from dripping onto the outlet or plug. A “drip loop” should be arranged by the user for each cord which connects the filter to the outlet. The “drip loop” is the part of the cord below the level of the outlet or the connector that prevents water from traveling along the cord and coming in contact with the outlet.

If the plug or outlet does get wet, DO NOT unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse to the circuit breaker that supplies power to the filter. Then, unplug and examine for the presence of water in the outlet. If you are not sure, consult a certified electrician.
