2. Instrucciones de seguridad importantes

ADVERTENCIA: Para evitar lesiones, se deben observar precauciones básicas de seguridad, incluidas las siguientes:

• Read and follow all safety instructions and all important notices on the appliance before using it.
• PELIGRO – To avoid possible electric shock, special care should be taken since water is used in the use of aquarium equipment. 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.
• If the appliance falls into water, DO NOT reach for it. First, unplug it and then retrieve it. If electrical components get wet, unplug the appliance immediately.
• Si el aparato muestra cualquier signo de fuga de agua anormal, desconéctelo inmediatamente de la fuente de alimentación.
• Examine cuidadosamente el aparato después de la instalación. No debe enchufarse si hay agua en partes que no deben mojarse.
• No opere ningún aparato si tiene un cable o enchufe dañado, o si no funciona correctamente o se ha caído o dañado de alguna manera.
• To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle getting wet, position the aquarium stand and tank to one side of a wall-mounted receptacle to prevent water from dripping onto the receptacle or plug. A "drip loop" should be arranged by the user for each cord connecting an aquarium appliance to a receptacle. The "drip loop" is that part of the cord below the level of the receptacle, or the connector if an extension cord is used, to prevent water from traveling along the cord and coming into contact with the receptacle. If the plug or receptacle does get wet, DO NOT unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies power to the appliance. Then unplug and examine for presence of water in the receptacle.
• Es necesaria una estrecha supervisión cuando cualquier aparato sea utilizado por niños o cerca de ellos.
• Para evitar lesiones, no toque piezas móviles o piezas calientes como calentadores, reflectores, lamp bombillas y similares.
• Desenchufe siempre un aparato de la toma de corriente cuando no lo utilice, antes de ponerle o quitarle piezas y antes de limpiarlo. Nunca tire del cable para desenchufarlo. Sujete el enchufe y tire para desconectarlo.
• No utilice el aparato para un fin distinto del previsto. El uso de accesorios no recomendados o vendidos por el fabricante del aparato puede provocar una situación de riesgo.
• No instale ni guarde el aparato en un lugar expuesto a la intemperie o a temperaturas bajo cero.
• Asegúrese de que el aparato esté instalado de forma segura antes de utilizarlo.
