PREPARE FOR OPERATION

The filter media supplied as standard are located in the filter baskets inside
the filter housing. For some filter media, packaging foil must be removed before
start-up and some filter media must be rinsed with tap water before use.
Procedure: → Fig. D
Please note when inserting the filter media into the filter baskets:
• The arrangement of the filter media within the filter baskets depends on the
filter type (→ Fig. A).
• The filter media must not protrude beyond the edge of the filter baskets.
• The pipe segments in the filter baskets must not be covered, because the
dirty water pipe is formed by the segments.
Note when inserting the filter baskets into the filter housing:
• The order of the filter media inside the filter housing depends on the filter
type (→ Fig. A).
• The arrows on the filter basket handle and on the filter housing rim must be
aligned identically.
• The handles of the filter baskets must be pressed down after insertion.

ASSEMBLY AND SET-UP

Procedure: → Fig. E
Please note when installing the pipe system:
• The side of the aquarium must be clean so that the suction cups can be
attached securely.
• There must be feed-through openings in the aquarium for the hoses.
• To prevent the filter from drawing up sand from the aquarium, there must be
more than 10 cm distance between the suction sieve and the sand.
Please note when positioning the device:
• For the filter to work properly, it must be placed at a certain distance X (→
Fig. E ) below the water level in the aquarium.
• The hoses must not be overly twisted or bent, otherwise the device may not
work properly. Shorten the hose if necessary.
• There must be an accessible power socket nearby.
