The height of the intake strainer is high enough to suit the most standard aquarium decorations. When
decorating the aquarium, ensure it remains at least 5cm from the gravel bottom at all times to prevent
it from sucking gravel or sand and ensure that no decorations block the passage of water. Ornaments
and rocks should be positioned while the aquarium is still dry.
CAUTION! Never force Connector Stems (A) sideways, as this may damage the output/input systems
and the glass tank.
If in the event a different filtration system is used, which does not require the inlet/outlet systems sup-
plied with this unit (e.g. an internal filter), restore the initial conditions by removing the 2 connector
stems (A) and closing openings (O) and (I) with plugs (P) & (Q). Plug (Q) ensures a watertight seal and
has to be inserted into its seat by pressing it. Plug (P) is designed to protect plug (Q) and ensure that
plug (Q) remains in its seat properly. Screw plug (P) by hand only until it will go without forcing it. DO
NOT USE ANY TOOLS, AS DOING SO MAY DAMAGE THE UNIT.
