appliance get wet, unplug the appliance immediately.
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 it is dropped or damaged in any
manner.
D. To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or electrical
outlet getting wet, position the appliance to one side of a wall
mounted outlet to prevent water from dripping onto the outlet
or plug. A “drip-loop”
should be arranged.
The “drip-loop” is that
part of the cord below
the level of the outlet,
or the connector if an
extension cord is
used, to prevent
water from traveling
along the cord and
coming in contact
with the outlet. If the plug or outlet does get wet, DON’T
unplug the electrical cord. Disconnect the fuse or circuit
breaker that supplies power to the appliance, then unplug and
examine for presence of water in the outlet.
3. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with significantly impaired physical or mental
capabilities, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety. Children should always be
supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
4. To prevent possible injury, avoid coming in contact with hot
parts.
5. Always unplug an appliance from outlet when not in use, before
putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the Terrarium.
Never yank cord to pull plug from 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. 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. Ensure the heater is securely installed before operating it.
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.
10. Never use with an extension cord unless plug can be fully
inserted. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
11. The power cord of this appliance cannot be replaced; if the cord
is damaged, the appliance should be discarded. Never cut the
cord.
12. Heater must not be immersed to a depth greater than 1 meter.
13.
CAUTION:
This or any heater must never be operated outside
of water, unplug and allow 30 minutes for heater to cool. Unplug
heater during water changes or regular maintenance.
