and all important notices on the appliance before using. Failure 
to do so may result in damage to unit.
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. If the supply cord 
is damaged, it must be replaced only by the 
manufacturer’s authorized service personel 
or by a qualified electrician. 
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. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including 
children) with significantly impaired physical or mental 
capabilities, unless they have been given supervision or 
instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person 
responsible for their safety. Children should always be 
supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
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.

RECOMMENDATION:
Use only Exo Terra
®
 compact fluorescent 
(max. 26 W) or incandescent (max. 25 W) terrarium light bulbs as 
per the wattage rating indicated on the electrical data label located 
on the canopy.
• 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.

fluorescent or incandescent light bulbs or maintaining, installing 
or removing the canopy or any other equipment, always ensure 
that it is unplugged.
1. Screw Exo Terra
®
 compact fluorescent or incandescent light 
bulb(s) into the threaded fitting(s) on the underside of the canopy. 
Follow maximum wattage guidelines. TIP: apply a thin layer of 
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.
2. Verify that the light bulb(s) is correctly installed in the threaded 
fitting(s). Carefully place the canopy on the terrarium rim with the 
light bulb(s) facing downward.
3. Do not place object(s) on the top of the canopy, except in the 
special sliding rim designed for this purpose. The ventilation slots 
on top of the canopy allow heat to escape, do not obstruct these 
vents in any way and ensure that any dust or debris is promptly 
removed.
