Maintenance and Servicing
Remove mains plug. Close both tap levers (position OFF).
Swing the locking clamp upwards and then remove the inte-
grated double tap connector from the pump head of the filter.
Take the filter out of the cabinet by using the two recessed lid
handles. Open all EZ clips and remove the pump head from
the canister.
In order to clean the pump chamber, turn the pump head up-
side down and open the sealing ring by turning it anti-clock-
wise. Then remove the pump cover, impeller and shaft.
Thoroughly clean pump parts,
impeller chamber and lubrica-
tion channel with EHEIM clean-
ing set (order no. 4009580).
Carefully rinse off shaft (risk of
breakage!), then put impeller
back together again and ins-
ert into proper position.
Pay attention to the proper fit of the shaft bushings, lid and
sealing ring.
Lock pump cover by turning clockwise.
Filter media:
Remove the lattice screen, filter pads and media containers
from the filter canister. Thoroughly wash out the filter media
with used aquarium water – until no more clouding can be
seen.
The fine filter pad (white) serves as mechanical fine filtration
and should only be used once since adhering dirt particles
cannot be washed out completely. Use new pad, order no.
2616265! The blue filter pad (1 x included in set, order no.
2616260) can be reused up to 2 - 3 times.
Filter must always be operated in an upright position only.
Wash out the filter canister. Then place the media containers back
in position. Press the first one down to the support frame and be
sure that the following media containers have a flush fit. In the
process, the pipe openings of the media containers must lie on
top of each other and the rubber seals must be correctly fitted on
the openings so as to achieve a hermetic seal. Insert a new filter
pad and cover it with the lattice screen.
ATTENTION: Fine filter pad (white) should not be placed
under the retractable handle of the media container.
Check to ensure that the sealing gasket of the pump head fits
properly and is clean.

TIP:
If cleaning water should get
into the cover element of the
pump head of the filter, the
cover can be unscrewed and
wiped dry with a cloth.
TIP:
When renewing EHFISUB-
STRAT (the fine pores get
clogged up with time),
retain 1/3 of used filter
medium and mix with new
material to speed-up bac-
teria recolonization.
