HEATER INSTALLATION

Positioning the heater
The Aquarium heater must be positioned to allow free
circulation of water around the glass heater tube.
Generally, the heater should be placed at the rear of the
aquarium, preferably near a source of water movement to
ensure even and thorough distribution of warmed water. Be
sure there are no rocks, decorations or gravel obstructing or
touching the heater, as they will cause uneven heating in the
glass tube and weaken it.
CAUTION - Water level must be maintained to the level indication on the glass heater tube. Always
maintain the water level in the aquarium to compensate for water loss due to evaporation.
Heater preparation
1. Set the heater to the appropriate temperature using the Easy-Set Numbered Temperature Dial.
2. Position the heater in the aquarium with the heater mounting bracket attached. Press suction cups
firmly against glass to adhere to the aquarium wall.
3. DO NOT PLUG IN NOW. The Heater is now ready for the start-up, but it can be started only
after the installation of all aquarium accessories has been completed and the tank is full of
water. For Heater start-up refer to Section #6.
