Fluval Venezi Bedienungsanleitung Seite 12

6. This is a non submersible AQUARIUM LUMINAIRE (STRIP-LIGHT), suitable for INDOOR use only,
destined to be assembled on the Fluval Vicenza and Venezia TOP COVER FRAMES only, for fresh
and salt water aquariums with max 35° C water temperature. Do not use this appliance for different
aquariums or applications. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance
manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition.
7. IMPORTANT. Use only standard aquarium normal output fluorescent bulbs as per the rating
characteristics indicated on the electrical data label located on the Strip-Light.
8. Do not install or store this appliance where it will be exposed to the weather or to temperatures
below freezing.
9. IMPORTANT: Make sure that the STRIP-LIGHT is securely and correctly installed before operating
it and that the minimum distance of water from the Strip-Light is 15 mm. This STRIP-LIGHT must
never operate in water. WARNING. The safety of this Strip-Light is guaranteed provided that both
lamps are inserted and all threaded fittings are properly installed.
10. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with proper rating should be used. A cord rated for less
amperes or watts than the appliance rating may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord
so that it will not be tripped over or pulled. The connection should be carried out by a qualified
electrical installer.
11. WARNING. Risk of overheating: do not place any object(s) on the Strip-light. Ensure sufficient air
space around the Strip-Light.
12. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. For the complete use and understanding of this product it is
recommended that this manual is thoroughly read and understood. Failure to do so may result in
damage to this product.
PREPARING AND INSTALLING THE STRIP-LIGHTS
All Aquarium models feature 1 Strip-Light each, with the exception of the Venezia 350, which features
2 Strip-Lights. Each Strip-Light features 2 T5 fluorescent bulbs.
The Strip-Light(s) come with T5 fluorescent tubes already installed.
WARNING: Though the Strip-Lights come with T5
fluorescent tubes already installed, check that the
threaded fittings are fully tightened in the socket,
before operating the unit. Ensure that there are no
visible threads or gaps between the lamp socket and
threaded fittings. Ensure threaded fittings are not cross
threaded onto the lamp socket.
The threaded fittings must be fully tightened to prevent
moisture from entering the socket and corroding the
electrical contacts.
WARNING: The safety of this Strip-Light is guaranteed
provided that both lamps are inserted and that all
threaded fittings are properly installed.
Replace the Strip-Light(s) first and then place the lids on the top
frame to close the aquarium completely.
DO NOT PLUG IN NOW. The Strip Light(s) is now ready for start-up, but it can be started only
after you have completely installed all aquarium accessories. For Strip-Light start-up, refer to
Section #6.

SECTION #6
AQUARIUM START-UP
1. FLUVAL FILTER START-UP.
Before proceeding, verify that the lift-lock clamps are securely closed.
Fill the Filter canister with water by opening the Aquastop valve. Push the black lever on the Aquastop
valve all the way down. You will hear the aquarium water flushing into the filter canister for few minutes.
As water flows into the canister, it will force air out. Air will be expelled into the aquarium causing water
to bubble. Once the bubbling in the tank stops, you will know that the filter canister is full of water. Make
sure that there are no water leakages from the filter canister and tank connections.
Since aquarium water is used to fill the filter canister, top off the aquarium to restore the correct water
level.
Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet.
The pump will start immediately. Water should flow from the output nozzle continuously. If it does not,
unplug the filter and check your installation once again.
WARNING: Never plug the filter in unless the canister is completely full of water.
Adjusting Water Flow
Once the filter is operating continuously, use the black lever on the AquaStop valve to regulate the water
flow. To reduce water flow, lift the lever up to half way, but no higher. This can be done once the unit is
fully operational and will not harm the motor. However, never run the filter with the black lever up (closed)
more than half way.
Air in the Filter
Some air will get trapped in the canister as it fills up; air may also be released by new media. Eventually,
the filter will expel all air pockets. If you notice excessive bubble bursts over an extended period of time,
check all hosing and connections for air leaks. Also, make sure there is no air source (such as an air stone
or aeration device) near the intake strainer.
2. AQUACLEAR HEATER START-UP.
CAUTION - Water level must not drop below the minimum indicated on the glass heater tube.
Always maintain the water level in the aquarium to compensate for water loss due to evaporation.
After filling the tank, wait 30 minutes and then connect the heater to the electrical outlet. This waiting
period allows the heater to adjust to the aquarium water temperature.
Note that it may take up to 12 hours for the heater to attain the water temperature you have selected.
Once the desired water temperature is reached, monitor it over the next few hours. It is only after this
time that the Easy-Set Numbered Temperature Dial should be adjusted to achieve a higher or lower
temperature, as required.
The unit heats only when the pilot light is illuminated. When the pre-selected temperature is reached, the
pilot light shuts off. It will light again only when the heater is required to maintain the temperature at the
selected level.
As before, allow time for the water temperature to adjust before resetting the dial any further.
Do not turn the Easy-Set Numbered Temperature Dial past its limits, as this will damage the heater and
cause it to stay on permanently.
The temperature should be verified with an accurate thermometer after the heater has reached the desired
temperature, before adding fish to the aquarium, and throughout the life of the aquarium.
For use in an established aquarium, verify the calibration of the heater in a separate tank prior to use.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARD: Disconnect the plug of this and any other electrical aquarium
appliance before placing hands in water.
