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

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.
