2. Safety Instructions

WARNING: Failure to follow these safety instructions may result in electric shock, fire, or serious injury.

• Full Immersion Required: The heating element must always be fully submerged in the liquid during operation. Operating the heater out of water will cause overheating and damage.
• Electrical Safety: Ensure the power outlet matches the heater's voltage (120V AC). Do not use with damaged cords or plugs. The power cable is UL-certified for safety.
• Leakage Protection: The device includes built-in leakage protection. If the circuit breaker on the plug trips, do not attempt to reset it repeatedly without checking for faults.
• Placement: Position the heater securely to prevent it from falling or touching the bottom/sides of the container, which could cause localized overheating.
• Children and Pets: Keep the heater out of reach of children and pets. Never leave the heater unattended when in use.
• Liquid Compatibility: This heater is designed for various liquids, including saltwater, chemicals, and groundwater, due to its titanium construction. However, always ensure the liquid is non-flammable and non-corrosive to the external components (controller, cables).
• Temperature Range: Do not exceed the maximum operating temperature of 240℉ (120℃).
• Disconnection: Always unplug the heater from the power source before handling, cleaning, or performing any maintenance.

4. Setup Instructions

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect for any signs of damage.
2. Placement: Securely position the control unit on a dry, stable surface or mount it to a wall using appropriate fasteners (not included). Ensure it is easily accessible and away from direct water splashes.
3. Immerse Heating Element: Place the titanium heating element into the liquid to be heated. Ensure the entire metal part of the heater, including the temperature probe, is fully submerged. The black cap where the cord connects should remain above the water line.
4. Connect Power: Plug the GFCI power cord into a standard 120V AC electrical outlet. Press the 'RESET' button on the GFCI plug if necessary to ensure power is supplied.
