Installation
Caution: Before placing your hands in the tank, disconnect all electrical appliances. Be sure that the voltage of the mains corresponds to the voltage shown on the heater label.
HEATER must be installed outside of your tank by cutting the outlet tube of the external filter, and by connecting the two parts of the tube onto both sides of the HEATER -fig.
2-. If the external filter is already installed, it is important to shut off the valve taps, to empty out all the water that it contains, before cutting the outlet tube. The presence of
air bubbles inside the heating unit can cause irreversible damages. Make sure that HEATER is installed in a vertical position and follow the flow direction of the water that is
indicated on the heater's body with an arrow. -fig. 3- Reactivate the aquarium's water circulation and connect the new heating system to the mains. After the first 24 hours of
operation it is advisable to check all connections are tight.
Temperature setting
To set the required temperature in your aquarium, turn the temperature control knob (D) until the indicator on the heater's body shows the chosen value on the scale -fig. 4-.
You can set the temperature required between 18°C and 34°C (65°F - 93°F). Should the water temperature of your aquarium turn out to be lower than the value set on the
graduated scale, HEATER will start heating automatically and the indicator will turn on.

Maintenance
Attention: always disconnect HEATER and all other electrical equipment in your aquarium from the electricity supply before putting your hands in the water.
WARNING: NEVER SOAK THE HEATER IN WATER.
HEATER does not require special maintenance, however a regular cleaning of the inside part of the heating tube will prevent the formation of limestone and algae
guaranteeing an optimal heating action. Before disconnecting the HEATER remember to empty out all the water from the tube to which it is connected. Clean the inside of
HEATER's tube by using a soft brush -fig. 5-.
If problems are encountered
If the heater has been installed for 24 hours or more, and the temperature of the water is still lower than the set temperature (careful: many thermometers on the market do
not provide accurate readings), proceed as follows:
Make sure that the temperature has been set to the correct value
•
Make sure that the heater is plugged in and the water' s flow respects the indication of the arrow on the heater' s body
•
Make sure that the difference between the set temperature and the room temperature falls within the range given on the table -fig. 6-
•
Ensure that your aquarium tank has the same size as described in the HEATER package
•
Make sure that there is water flow through the HEATER
•
Make sure that the water circulation is adequate, and that there are no deposits or foreign bodies within the heater. Pull out the heater plug and remove any obstruction with a
