bilities. The 2 included clips are for closing the unused apertures, to prevent fry or small fish from getting trapped
in them.
D The opening of the output nozzle should be placed min. 1cm (0.4 in.) below the water surface in order to achieve
good surface movement and optimum water circulation.
E After installation in the aquarium, the filter can be operated by connecting to the mains plug.
By pulling out or pushing in the output nozzle, the performance of the pump can be regulated for maximum or
minimum efficiency. The flow direction can be set within a range of ±90°.
F For additional oxygen enrichment, the enclosed air regulation valve can be used: push in the output nozzle and at-
tach the air hose with the air regulating valve. By turning the valve the quantity of air can be regulat-

2.4 Heater installation

Mount thermostatic heater with double suction cup holder e vertically in the aquarium, fixing it in a place where
water flow is brisk (filter outlets / vents) so that the warmed water can be equally distributed in the tank.
Risk of overheating: Water level must never be be-low minimum mark c on the housing. Max. immersion depth
0.5 m.
• Before you start, set the heater in the aquarium water for 20-30 minutes without plugging it. • Check device for da-
mage • Fix suction cups d to double suction cup holder e and clip onto heater (not inside the heating zone and

Recalibration : If, after a day or two in operation the setting scale does not correspond to the water temperature,
follow the following procedure to recalibrate the heater: • Switch off the heater and unplug it from the mains supply
• Measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer • Turn indicator arrow (red) b to point to the mea-
sured temperature • Set the desired tank temperature with the temperature selector ring (blue) a . • Insert the power plug.
