proceed with the setup and contact the store or Hagen Customer Service. Assemble the Cabinet following all instructions.
After completing the assembly, check that ALL parts have been properly used. The aquarium cabinet is made of wood. We
recommend keeping all cabinet surfaces dry.
VERIFYING THE AQUARIUM GLASS TANK
The aquarium glass tank comes complete with bottom and top aluminum frames secured to it. Do not try to remove the top
and bottom frames. Although the glass tank was manufactured with maximum care and the most advanced techniques,
inspect it carefully to ensure that it was not damaged during handling and transportation.
The tank is made of glass. Always handle it with the extreme care.
Never attempt to move or transport the tank if it is not completely empty of water or any other material.
Always take care not to damage the seals at the edges of the glass panels while maintaining your aquarium.
Never use toxic or abrasive substances to clean your aquarium.
PLACING THE AQUARIUM WITH ITS CABINET IN THE FINAL LOCATION
The location of the aquarium is very important. Place it away from direct sunlight. This will reduce the chances of excessive
algae build-up and prevent overheating. Keep the aquarium away from other sources of heat (air ducts, radiators, etc.) for
proper temperature maintenance. Drafts should be avoided as well. Do not place the aquarium where water spills will cause
damage.
The cabinet's dimensions and structure are specifically designed to bear the weight of a completely filled aquarium. Using a
different cabinet or support may cause an unsafe condition and void the tank warranty.
WARNING. Ensure that the selected location can support the total weight of the cabinet and a completely filled aquarium.
The selected location should have an even and level surface. Place the aquarium and cabinet close to an electrical outlet.
After placing the cabinet, use a spirit level to ensure that it is perfectly level.
IMPORTANT: Place the aquarium tank directly on the cabinet without any additional support or damper in between. NEVER
insert lining between the cabinet and aquarium.
INSTALLING ALUMINUM PROFILE POSTS
1) Before you begin, verify that you have a complete set of four (4) aluminum posts.
2) Clean the surface, removing any dust or dirt with a damp cloth prior to
application. Do not use harsh or abrasive detergents which may damage the
surface.
3) Dry the surface thoroughly.
4) Open the side door of the cabinet.
5) Position the top plastic post retainer (A) onto the corner of the canopy frame (B).
6) Slip the bottom plastic post retainer (C) under the cabinet. Align the hole in the
plastic retainer with the hole in the cabinet base.
7) From the inside of the cabinet base, attach the bottom retainer by inserting
the screws through the cabinet base and into the plastic retainer (D). DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN.
8) Repeat steps 4 through 7 for each of the four (4) aluminum PROFILE posts.
Note: For models PROFILE 850, 1000 and 1200, the PROFILE posts are
packaged separately from the glass aquarium. For PROFILE 1500, the posts
can be found inside the aquarium.
