water level is low (e.g. in a turtle tank).
Connect the water outlet pipe, angle piece and spray bar (if required) and secure them in
the aquarium with suction cups. First, remove the end cap of the spray bar and only replace
it when the filter is operating.
Tip: We advise against using the spray bar in aquariums containing plants, as too much of the
vital plant nutrient, CO2, is expelled from the water. The best results are achieved by using
the water outlet pipe with an angle piece or a wide jet pipe with the outlet just below the
surface of the water to produce moderate surface agitation. The distance between the outlet
and the surface of the water can be individually set by using the two extension pieces.
Connect the hose with the suction pipe from the "IN" position on the hose connection block
(black elbow connection) and the hose with the water outlet pipe from the "OUT" position
(grey elbow connection). Firmly attach the hoses by turning the nuts anticlockwise until
they are tight.
Cut the hoses as short as possible to avoid kinking. This also makes priming easier.

Starting up
Make sure that the two small stopcock levers on the pump head are in the "OPEN" position.
During the following start up procedure, the water outlet pipe with the spray bar, etc.
must be positioned ABOVE the surface of the water for optimum ventilation of the
appliance.
Press the "START" button on the pump head repeatedly with the palm of your hand until wa-
ter begins to flow into the suction hose (hose on "IN" ). . Wait until the filter has completely
filled with water and the water in the hose leading to the water outlet pipe (hose on "OUT")
is at the same level as the surface of the water in the aquarium.
Connect the filter to the mains power supply. The water will now flow out of the water outlet
pipe into the aquarium. At first, it may be mixed with air that is still trapped between the
layers of the filter media. Gently shake the filter to dislodge the air which will escape with
the stream of water.
Please note: If you replace an existing aquarium filter with a JBL CristalProfi external filter,
we recommend running both the new filter and the old filter parallel in the same aquarium
for the first 2 weeks, before dismantling the "old" filter. This ensures that the new filter has
a sufficiently large colony of cleansing bacteria and avoids harmful nitrites occurring in the
transitional phase.
Check that all parts are watertight.
