• As a thermostat controlled aquarium heater.

• Operation under observance of the technical data. The following restrictions apply to the unit:

• Only use indoors and for aquaristic purposes in the home (not for commercial use).

• Only operate with water at a water tempera- ture of +4 °C to +35 °C.

• Do not switch the unit on until it is immersed in water.

• The unit can be completely immersed in wa- ter.

• Ensure that the unit is immersed in water at least up to the minimum immersion depth marking.

NOTE The desired water temperature can only be achieved if the heating capacity of the heater is suitable for the volume of water in the aquar- ium (→ Technical data) and is positioned in an area with good water circulation. How to proceed: B, C, D

• Turn the temperature controller to the de- sired temperature value.

• Insert the supplied suction cups into the holder by twisting. – Pay attention to the alignment of the tab (it should point upwards or to the side).

• Position the unit with the heating element pointing towards the floor of the aquarium on a clean, smooth surface in an area with good water circulation. COMMISSIONING/START-UP CAUTION Risk of injury from hot surface! Risk of burning parts of the body or risk of fire.

• Disconnect the heater from the mains and al- low it to cool down before commencing any work. NOTE For the use of the heater in a filter approved for this purpose: Danger of fire! The heater and filter can be de- stroyed by the heat generated at the surface.

• Do not switch the heater on until the filter is completely filled with water, switched on and the water is continuously circulated. NOTE For use in an aquarium:

• Before switching on, ensure that the heater is immersed in water at least up to the marking for the minimum immersion depth. NOTE

• Switch off the heater and allow it to cool down before removing it from the water.

• Do not leave the heater unattended after re- moving it from the water.

• Wait approx. 30 minutes before switching on so that the thermostat can adjust to the tem- perature of the water.

• Route the power connection cable such that it forms a drip loop!

• Switching on: Connect the unit to the mains. The unit switches on immediately.

• Switching off: Disconnect the unit from the mains.- EN -

Checking the temperature values NOTE The heater switches on and off automatically in order to maintain the set temperature. A light in the glass bulb indicates that the heater is functioning. The light and heater are switched off when the set temperature is reached. How to proceed:

• When the unit has been operating for about one day, check the water temperature with a precision thermometer.

• The measured temperature is lower than the set temperature: Check the water flow around the unit and, if necessary, move the unit to a different position where the water circulation is not obstructed by e.g. plants

• Measure the temperature again after some time.

• The temperature difference is still too great: Calibrate the unit. (-> Calibrating the unit)

• The measured temperature is higher than the set temperature: Calibrate the unit. (-> Calibrating the unit)

Calibrating the unit

• Calibration range: It is possible to calibrate the unit by plus 3°C and minus 3 °C.

• The calibration controller protrudes out of the different-coloured temperature control- ler. There are 3 fixed positions in the plus and minus range. Each position corresponds to approx. 1 degree centigrade. NOTE Do not attempt to go outside the calibration range. How to proceed:

• Use a screwdriver for the calibration or break the supplied tool out of the holder.

• Measured temperature is too high: Keep the temperature controller at the set value and move the calibration controller in the direc- tion of - (minus).

• Measured temperature is too low: Keep the temperature controller at the set value and move the calibration controller in the direc- tion of + (plus).- EN -

Malfunction Cause Remedy The water does not heat up. No mains voltage Check the mains voltage. Unit defective Replace unit Water does not reach the set temperature.

Insufficient water circulation Check the temperature. Unit is not calibrated. Calibrate the unit. The heating capacity of the unit is not sufficient with regards to the ambient temperature or water vol- ume to be heated up. Select a suitable unit.

CLEANING If necessary, clean the unit with clear water using a soft sponge or cloth.

• Do not not use cleaning agents or chemical solutions. WEAR PARTS The following components are wear parts and are excluded from the warranty:

• Suction cup DISPOSAL NOTE Do not dispose of this unit with domestic waste.

• Render the unit unusable beforehand by cut- ting the cables and dispose of the unit via the return system provided for this purpose.
