PRELIMINARY WARNINGS
!
!
• Check that all parts are undamaged (lights, heater,
glass and plastic parts, etc.). We use strong,
secure packaging and checks each aquarium
individually, but we recommend you also check
that no accidental damage has occurred during
transport, storage or sale which could affect its
watertight seal and safe use.
• Ensure that the voltage shown on the all electrical
components corresponds to that of your home
electrical power supply.
• The aquarium is intended only for indoor use.
• Before switching on make sure your home is
protected by an automatic safety breaker switch
(or individual breaker plug) with an operating
current of no more than 30 mA.
• Do not connect the aquarium to the power supply
before correctly completing all the installation
procedures, including filling with water.
• Always disconnect all appliances from the
electric power supply before carrying out any
maintenance.
• Remember that the protection of the lights from
water and dust is guaranteed only when the
fluorescent tubes are correctly inserted and the
ring nuts perfectly tightened.
• The light must never be submerged.
• The power cable has Z-type wiring, so if damaged
it must be replaced by a qualified electrician.
• All special maintenance work must be carried out
by a qualified electrician. 'Special maintenance'
means any kind of work not included in the
paragraph ' A QUARIUM MAINTENANCE' and 'FILTER
MAINTENANCE' . 'Qualified electrician' means any
qualified member of the register of installer.
• Never remove the heater (if present) from the
water when it is connected to the electric power
supply. Before removing the heater, disconnect it
and leave it to cool inside its housing for at least 5
minutes.
• Check that the filter intake grilles are not blocked.
• Always ensure that the water level stays above the
6
English
minimum level and below the maximum; both
are marked on the front of the filter. Remember
that the water level should always be between
the MIN and MAX levels, both shown on the front
of the 1filter and always at 1.5 cm distance from
the lamp.
• Do not damage the silicone cord with scissors,
pliers, brushes or scrapers.
• Do not use detergents, solvents or chemical
products (descaler, ammonium-based products,
etc.) to clean the glass, as they could damage the
silicone, causing it to become detached (possibly
some time later).
• Do not use adhesives or adhesive tape near the
silicone when applying backgrounds.
• Moreover, you should always use a spirit level
to make sure that the aquarium is placed on a
perfectly flat surface in both directions (length
and depth), so as not to break the glass or damage
the silicone.
• This appliance can be used by children aged from
8 years and above and persons with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack
of experience and knowledge if they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning use of
the appliance in a safe way and understand the
hazards involved.
• Children shall not play with the appliance.
• Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made
by children without supervision.
• Keep the appliance and its cord out of reach of
children less than 8 years.
