2. Safety Instructions and Cautions
Please read and understand all safety instructions before operating the device to prevent injury or damage.
- Power Supply Verification: Before use, confirm that the product's voltage and frequency are compatible with your local power supply.
- Submersion Requirement: To ensure proper product performance and prevent damage, the pump body must be completely submerged in water during operation. This product is not designed to run dry.
- Magnetic Mount Installation: When installing the magnetic mount, exercise caution. Position the external magnetic component on the outer wall of the aquarium and slowly move it towards the internal pump unit until it securely attaches. This method helps prevent damage to the aquarium glass.
- Power Cord Integrity: The power cord for this product is not replaceable. If the power cord becomes damaged, immediately discontinue use of the product to avoid electrical hazards.
