WARNING – To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed, including the following.

a) READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.

b) DANGER – To avoid possible electric shock, special care should be taken since water is employed in the use of aquarium equipment. For each of the following situations, do not attempt repairs by yourself; return the appliance to an authorized service facility for service or discard the appliance.

1) If the appliance falls into the water, DON'T reach for it! First unplug it and then retrieve it. If electrical components of the appliance get wet, unplug the appliance immediately. (Non-immersible equipment only)
2) If the appliance shows any sign of abnormal water leakage, immediately unplug it from the power source. (Immersible equipment only).
3) Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not be plugged in if there is water on parts not intended to be wet.
4) Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, or if it is malfunctioning or has been dropped or damaged in any manner.
5) To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle getting wet, position aquarium stand and tank to one side of a wall-mounted receptacle to prevent water from dripping on-to the receptacle or plug.

A "drip-loop", shown in the figure below, should be arranged by the user for each cord connecting an aquarium appliance to a receptacle. The "drip-loop" is that part of the cord below the level of the receptacle, or the connector if an extension cord is used, to prevents water traveling along the cord and coming in contact with the receptacle.

If the plug or socket does get wet, DON'T unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies power to the appliance. Then unplug and examine for presence of water in the receptacle.

c) Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
d) To avoid injury, do not contact moving parts or hot parts such as heaters, reflectors, lamp bulbs, and the like.

e) Always unplug an appliance from an outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning. Never yank cord to pull plug from outlet. Grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.
f) Do not use an appliance for other than intended use. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition.
g) Do not install or store the appliances where it will be exposed to the weather or to temperatures below freezing.
h) Make sure an appliance mounted on a tank is securely installed before operating it.
i) Read and observe all the important notices on the appliance.
j) If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a 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.
k) This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified elec-trician. Never use with an extension cord unless plug can be fully inserted. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

Exception: This instruction may be omitted for an appliance that is not provided with a polarized attachment plug.

1) "SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS".

① Pump head ② Sealing gasket ③ Input connector ④ Lattice screen ⑤ Fine filter pad (white) ⑥ Coarse foam filter pad (blue) ⑦ Rubber hermetic seals ⑧ Filter media containers ⑨ EZ clips ⑩ Filter canister ⑪ Integrated double tap connector ⑫ Hose clamp ⑬ Intake pipe ⑭ Intake strainer ⑮ Security outlet pipe ⑯ Spray bar and end cap ⑰ Suction cups with clips ⑱ Tubing ⑲ Vaseline.

When unpacking, please check to ensure that all parts have been included.

Assembly

Flip all four EZ clips open and push upwards. With the help of the two recessed lid handles, the pump head of the filter can be easily lifted off.

Remove lattice screen and fine filter pad and take out each media container by grabbing the retractable handles and pulling upwards. Fill the containers with EHEIM filter media to achieve best results.

The lower filter tank is to be filled with EHEIM filter pads.

Fill the second container with the biological media SUB-STRAT to just below the edge.

Do not overfill. Do not clog flow-through pipe.

Fill the first container with EHEIM filter pads, but leave just enough space so that the blue filter pad can be placed in the container under the retractable handle. Fill the second container with the biological media SUBSTRAT to just below the edge.

Then thoroughly rinse the filter media in the containers under running water until all cloudiness has disappeared.

Insert the second media container in the same manner. Make sure the flow-through pipe openings line up on top of each other. Put second rubber hermetic seals on the upper media container. Lower each retractable handle and ensure that all media containers lie flush on top of each other.

Then insert the fine filter pad (white) and the lattice screen in such a manner that the round cut-out lines up with the respective flow-through pipe opening.

ATTENTION: Fine filter pad (white) should not be placed under the retractable handle of the media container.

Check to ensure that the sealing gasket on the pump head of the filter is not soiled and that it is properly placed into its groove.

Place the pump head onto the filter canister so that the input connector of the pump head is lined up with the input guide of the media containers. Close all four EZ clips.

ATTENTION:

Before the integrated double tap connector is inserted into the pump head of the filter, examine all three o-rings for damage and correct fitting. Lightly grease the o-rings with Vaseline to help installation.

Insert the integrated double tap connector with the locking clamp in an upright position into the opening on the pump head. To fasten the locking clamp into its sealed position push the handle downwards.

Tubing installation

Shut off the integrated double tap connector by shifting the two levers to the OFF position. Push the enclosed tubing onto the intake and output openings of the integrated double tap connector as far as they will go. Since this can be a relatively difficult task, soak the hoses in warm water beforehand to make them softer.

It is very important to use original EHEIM hoses only.

Place the two-part hose clamp around the installed hoses, hang into the proper position and clip into place.

Place the now ready-to-use filter into the lower cabinet of your aquarium stand and observe the prescribed installation height: between water surface and base of filter there should be max. 180 cm (5'11") in order to attain optimum functioning.

Attach the intake strainer to the intake tube and fasten it onto the interior glass of the tank with two clips and suction cups.

Note: When using with an EHEIM professional hood, the intake pipe is simply clipped into place and you don't need the suction cups.

Connect the security outlet pipe and spray bar with a short piece of tubing and install in the aquarium with the clips and suction cups.

Place on the rear or on one of the sides of the tank, depending on available dimensions.

Close the open side of the spray bar with the enclosed end cap.

TIP: The spray bar can either be installed below water level or just above the surface, depending on whether you wish to have oxygen-rich surface movement or not.

Guide the hoses from the filter outwards, through the opening in the aquarium cabinet, and connect the installed intake pipe and output pipe according to the respective tubing diameters.

To achieve an even flow, be sure that the tubing is laid out smoothly and has no kinks; if necessary, shorten them.

TIP: If you lay the tubing into warm water for some time beforehand, they will become soft and possible kinks can be easily squeezed out.

Setting into operation

Open the taps of the integrated double tap connector by shifting both levers to position ON. Separate the output hose from the spray bar and suck strongly on the hose, to establish the syphon.

Alternatively use the EHEIM Universal Installation Kit 1 (diam. 16 mm, order no. 4005300) or the suction device (order no. 4003540).

The canister will then automatically fill up with water. Reconnect the hose to the spray bar.

Once again check all the connections for watertightness.

Then set the filter into operation by connecting the mains plug of the pump head.

Note: The water flow from the pump can be controlled by using the tap only on the pressure side (OUT).

ATTENTION: Never reduce the pump output by closing the tap on the suction side (IN).

Maintenance and Servicing

Remove mains plug. Close both tap levers (position OFF). Swing the locking clamp upwards and then remove the integrated double tap connector from the pump head of the filter.

Take the filter out of the cabinet by using the two recessed lid handles. Open all EZ clips and remove the pump head from the canister.

In order to clean the pump chamber, turn the pump head upside down and open the sealing ring by turning it anticlockwise. Then remove the pump cover, impeller and shaft.

Clean all pump parts, impeller chamber and lubrication channel with EHEIM cleaning set (no. 4009560). Carefully rinse off shaft (risk of breakage!), then put impeller back together again and insert into proper position.

Pay attention to the proper fit of the shaft bushings, lid and sealing ring. Lock pump cover by turning clockwise.

TIP:

If cleaning water should get into the cover element of the pump head of the filter, the cover can be unscrewed and wiped dry with a cloth.

Filter media:

Remove the lattice screen, filter pads and media containers from the filter canister.

Thoroughly wash out the filter media with used aquarium water – until no more clouding can be seen.

The fine filter pad (white) serves as mechanical fine filtration and should only be used once since adhering dirt particles cannot be washed out completely.

Use new pad, order no. 2616265!

The blue filter pad (1 x included in set, order no. 2616260) can be reused up to 2 -3 times.

TIP:

When renewing the SUB-STRAT media (the fine pores get clogged up with time), retain 1/3 of used filter medium and mix with new material to speed-up bacteria recolonization.

Filter must always be operated in an upright position only.

Wash out the filter canister. Then place the media containers back in position.

Press the first one down to the support frame and be sure that the following media containers have a flush fit. In the process, the pipe openings of the media containers must lie on top of each other and the rubber seals must be correctly fitted on the openings so as to achieve a hermetic seal.

Insert a new filter pad and cover it with the lattice screen.

ATTENTION: Fine filter pad (white) should not be placed under the retractable handle of the media container.

Check to ensure that the sealing gasket of the pump head fits properly and is clean.

Then lightly lubricate the sealing gasket of the pump head with Vaseline. Place the pump head on the filter canister, close the EZ clips and place the filter into the cabinet.

Examine all three o-rings on the double tap connector for damage and correct fitting and lightly grease them with Vaseline; insert and lock in place.

After both of the tap levers on the integrated double tap connector have been opened (position ON), the filter will automatically fill up again with water and will be ready for operation.

Set the filter into operation by connecting the mains plug.

Drugu gumenu navlaku navući na gornji filterski uložak Drugu gumenu navlaku ponovo navući na gornji uložak filtera.

PAŽNJA:

Pre nego što se adapter za crevne priključke stavi u gornji deo filtera, sva tri zaptivna prstena proveriti na oštećenja i ispravnu nameštenost. Radi lakše montaže, zaptivne prstenove malo podmazati vazelinom.

Instalacija creva

Za zatvaranje zaustavnih slavina se obe polužne ručke adaptera prebace na poziciju OFF.

Priložena creva gurnuti do graničnika na kratke delove creva na adapter. Prethodno toplom vodom malo omekšati creva.

U načelu koristiti samo EHEIM originalna creva.

Dvodelni držač creva se stavlja oko montiranih creva, zakačen sa strane i spojen spojnicom.

Kompletno pripremljen filter staviti u donji ormar. Voditi računa o propisanom visinskom rastojanju: rastojanje između površine vode i dna filtera sme da iznosi maksimalno 180 cm da bi se postigao optimalan način rada.

Izlaznu krivinu i mlaznicu spojiti kratkim komadom creva i montirati ih pomoću stezaljke i vakumskog držača u akvarijum.

U zavisnosti od dimenzija, sledi stavljanje na zadnju stranicu ili na jednu od bočnih stranica.

Otvorenu stranu mlaznice zatvoriti priloženim čepom za zatvaranje.

Sprovesti creva od filtera kroz otvore na bočnoj strani- ci ormara.

Povezati montiranu usisnu cev sa usisnom stranom, a izlaznu krivinu sa potisnom stranom filtera.

Voditi računa da su creva instalirana ravno i da nigde nisu presavijena. Eventualno ih skratiti.

SAVET:

Creva malo omekšati u toploj vodi. Na taj način mogu lako da se isprave eventualna presavijena mesta.

Puštanje u rad

Sada otvorite zaustavne slavine na adapteru filtera, tako što ćete obe polužne ručke da prebacite ka smeru vodi- ce creva (pozicija ON).

Nakon toga otpustiti potisno crevo na mlaznici i ponovo uspostaviti cirkulaciju vode. Za to je pogodan pre svega pogodan praktični EHEIM instalacioni SET 1 (br. art. 4005300, 16 mm ø) ili EHEIM usisivač (br. art. 4003540). Spoljni filter se samostalno puni vodom. Zatim ponovo spojiti creva.

Nakon što su svi spojevi creva još jednom provereni na zaptivenost, a držač creva na ispravnu nameštenost, filter može da se pusti u rad preko mrežnog utikača.

SAVET: Preko integrisanog zaustavnog filtera (OUT) snaga filtera može bestepeno da se reguliše sa potisne strane.

PAŽNJA: Snaga pumpe nikada ne sme da se smanji da usisne strane (IN).

Održavanje i nega

Izvući utikač za struju. Obe poluge za zatvaranje na adapteru prebaciti u poziciju OFF. Stezaljke za zaključavanje okrenuti nagore i odspojiti adapter od gornjeg dela filtera.
