1. A) If the appliance shows any sign of abnormal water leakage, immediately unplug from the power source
B) Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not be plugged in if there is water on parts not intended to be wet.

to prevent water from dripping onto the receptacle or plug. A“drip loop”, shown in the Figure at right, 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 traveling along the cord and coming in contact with the receptacle. If the plug or receptacle does get wet,
DON’T 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.
