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. The power cord of this appliance 

cannot be replaced: if the cord is damaged, the appliance should 

be discarded. Never cut the cord.

 

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.  To reduce the risk of injury, close supervision is necessary when 

the appliance is used by or near children.

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.

12. WARNING - For North American market only: This appliance has 

a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety 

feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If 

the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still 

does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use with an 

extension cord unless plug can be fully inserted. Do not attempt 

to defeat this safety feature.

Only the faithful observation of these installation, electrical and 

maintenance guidelines will ensure the safe and efficient use of 

this appliance.

RECOMMENDATION: Use only Exo Terra® compact fluorescent 

or incandescent terrarium light bulbs as per the wattage rating 

indicated on the electrical data label located on the canopy 

(MAXIMUM 26W BULB).
•  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

1.  Screw Exo Terra® compact fluorescent or incandescent light 

bulb(s) into the threaded fitting(s) on the underside of the canopy.

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.
