Intended use

• Operate the product in compliance with the technical data. (→ Technical data)

The following restrictions apply to the unit:

• Never use the unit with fluids other than water.
• Never run the unit without water.
• Do not use for commercial or industrial purposes

Installation

Prepare filter cartridge

Thoroughly rinse all filter materials with warm water before the first use. Do not open the Multi-stage filter cartridges.

Attach filter

How to proceed:

1. Place the filter on the aquarium rim so that the filter hangs vertically on the side of aquarium.
2. Use the adjustable leveler to align the filter.
   • The adjustable leveler holds the filter vertically and supports it against the aquarium wall.
3. Extend the telescopic intake to the desired height.
   • Make sure that no aquarium substrate (e.g. sand) is sucked in.

Requirements for reliable water intake:

• Do not let the water level drop more than 5.5 in from the aquarium rim. This will ensure that the pump draws in the water safely, e.g. after a power failure.
• Fill the filter housing completely with water (before the first start-up and after cleaning the filter housing).

Commissioning/start-up

If there is air in the telescopic intake, it may take up to 3 minutes for the pump to deliver water.

• Switching on: Plug the power plug into the outlet.
  • The unit switches on immediately.
  • Lay the power supply cord so that a drip loop is formed and the lowest point is below the socket. This prevents dripping water from entering the socket.
  • Set the desired flow rate.
• Switching off: Pull the power plug from the outlet.
  

Maintenance and cleaning

NOTE

Do not use aggressive cleaning agents or chemical solutions. These agents can damage the housing, impair the function of the device and harm animals, plants and the environment.

• Clean the unit only with clean water and a soft brush or sponge.

Replace filter media

If the cleaning indicator has risen high enough that the line is visible, the filter capacity is no longer sufficient. You must replace or clean the filter media.
