1.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
and all important notices on the appliance before using. Failure
to do so may result in damage to unit.
2. THIS IS NOT AN AQUARIUM CANOPY. It should not be used on any
type of aquarium. Not For Damp Locations.
3. WARNING: This appliance is NOT water resistant and MUST be
protected from coming in contact with water. Do Not Submerse.
4. 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 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. If the supply cord
is damaged, it must be replaced only by the
manufacturer’s authorized service personel
or by a qualified electrician.
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.
5. 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.
6. To avoid injury, do not contact hot surfaces.
7. 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 plug from outlet. Grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.
8. Do not use the appliance for other than intended use. The use
of attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance
manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition.
9. Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to
weather or to temperatures below freezing.
10. Make sure the appliance is securely installed before operating
it. Do not place object(s) on top of the canopy, except optional
accessories in the special sliding rim designed for their
mounting. The safety of this appliance is granted only provided
that the bulb(s) and the canopy are properly installed.
11. 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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
Only the faithful observation of these installation, electrical and
maintenance guidelines will ensure the safe and efficient use of
this appliance.
Installation Instructions:
RECOMMENDATION: Use only Exo Terra ® compact fluorescent
(max. 26 W) or incandescent (max. 25 W) terrarium light bulbs as
per the wattage rating indicated on the electrical data label located
on the canopy.
• This equipment is FOR INDOOR USE ONLY
• WARNING: Disconnect the plug of this canopy and all other electrical
equipment used for the terrarium before placing your hands in the
terrarium and/or performing any maintenance of any kind.
• WARNING: Whenever installing, removing or changing compact
fluorescent or incandescent light bulbs or maintaining, installing
or removing the canopy or any other equipment, always ensure
that it is unplugged.
1. Screw Exo Terra ® compact fluorescent or incandescent light
bulb(s) into the threaded fitting(s) on the underside of the canopy.
Follow maximum wattage guidelines. TIP: apply a thin layer of
petroleum jelly to the threads on the base of the light bulb before
screwing it in. This will make it easier to unscrew the bulb when
it is time to replace it.
2. Verify that the light bulb(s) is correctly installed in the threaded
fitting(s). Carefully place the canopy on the terrarium rim with the
light bulb(s) facing downward.
3. Do not place object(s) on the top of the canopy, except in the
special sliding rim designed for this purpose. The ventilation slots
on top of the canopy allow heat to escape, do not obstruct these
vents in any way and ensure that any dust or debris is promptly
removed.
