unplug and examine for the presence of water in the socket.
3. It is suggested that this appliance and any other submersed
appliance be equipped with a leakage circuit breaker. Warning:
For North American market only. To prevent electric shock,
supply electrical power through a wall mounted Residual Current
Device (GFI-Ground Fault Current Interrupter) with a residual
operating current not exceeding 30mA. If the appliance shows
any sight of current leakage or if the GFI switches off, disconnect
the power supply from mains and remove the appliance from
the water.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or
near children.
5. Always unplug an appliance from an outlet when not in use,
before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning. Never
yank cord to pull the plug from the outlet. Grasp the plug and pull
to disconnect.
6. Disconnect the plug of this and any other submersed appliance
before placing hands in the water.
7. 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.
8. Read and observe all the important notices on the appliance.

14. WARNING (For Canada and USA): 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.

The Exo Terra Repti Clear F150 Compact Aqua-Terrarium Filter
is for indoor, household use only. This filter is not recommended or
designed to transport corrosive or flammable compounds or liquids
with different properties than water. The motor is hermetically sealed
to ensure safety and a long lasting life with all live electrical parts
immersed in a protective casing to prevent total insulation against
water damage and electrical shock. Since it does not employ older
technologies requiring oil cooling, it can never leak or contaminate
the area with coolant.
Installation:
The filter can be installed either vertically or horizontally depending
upon the preferred usage application (example: in terrariums,
because of low water levels, the filter would be placed horizontally
or flat on the bottom; in aqua-terrariums, because of higher water
levels, the filter could be placed horizontally or vertically). If in doubt,
