13. Switch off the lamp and allow to cool for 10 minutes before

performing any maintenance of any kind, cleaning or re-lamping,

in the terrarium.

14. A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting

from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. 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.

15. DANGER – To avoid possible electrical shock, special care

should be taken. 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 falls into the water, DON’T reach for it! First

unplug it and then retrieve it. If the electrical components of the

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 electrical cord

or plug, or 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 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 unit and 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 or light unit. 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.
