3. Safety instructions

Risks for persons and property can arise from this appliance if the appliance is im- properly used or not used as intended or if the safety instructions are not heeded. ‧ Do not let the appliance packaging get into the hands of children as hazards can arise (danger of su󰘯ocation!). ‧ This appliance can be used by children from the age of 8 and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and/or knowledge if they are supervised and have been instructed in the safe use of the appliance and have understood the resulting dangers. Children must not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance must not be carried out by children unless they are supervised. Safe operation ‧ The appliance is operated using an air pump. Heed the operating manual for the pump, especially the chapters on safety, commission

ing, operation and maintenance! ‧ Do not use the appliance if there is obvious damage. ‧ Only use original spare parts and accessories for the appliance. ‧ The appliance has a magnet with a strong magnetic 󰘰eld that can a󰘯ect pacemakers or implanted de󰘰brillators (ICD). Maintain a distance of at least 30 cm between the implant and magnet.English

Installing the magnet holder (⌦A) Attention! Strong magnets! Danger of crushing! ▶ Separate the magnets by twisting them. ▶ Place the magnets at a distance of 30 cm away from each other.

1. Secure the dampening rubbers b into the pertinent bores a with

gentle twisting motions.

2. At all four corners, press the magnet half without logo c onto the

3. Check the grip by moving the magnet.

Installing the lime wood airstone

1. Pull the box d out of the body e (⌦B).

2. Screw the airstone f onto the thread in the box until it stops (⌦C).

‧ The hose and pump are not included in the scope of delivery. ‧ For optimal operation, an air󰘱ow of 100 l/h must be guaranteed. We recommend that you use the EHEIM air pump 100 (art.no. 3701010). ‧ Please note that the actual air󰘱ow is reduced when a check valve is used, and a higher pump performance may be required as a result.

3. Connect your pump’s hose to the connecting pieces of the box (⌦D).

Hang the box in your aquarium and check the tightness of the connec

tion. Ensure that no large air bubbles appear!

4. Place the box at the lower edge and fold it into the body.

Installation in the aquarium (⌦E)

1. With one hand, hold the skimmer at the desired position in the

aquarium from the inside.

2. With the other hand, carefully place the magnet half with logo g onto

the glass panel at a distance from the skimmer (from the outside). Ensure that the magnet does not strike against the glass panel!English

3. Move the magnet half in the direction of the skimmer on the glass

until both magnet halves lie one above the other.

1. Position the skimmer so that the water level of your aquarium match

es the wavy line h (water level characteristic line) on the skimmer.

2. Set your air pump to the middle level.

Following initial commissioning, the skimmer must “run in”. This can take up to one week. The skimmer usually starts to produce foam within the 󰘰rst 2 days. During this time, residual air may escape at the outlet. This is no cause for concern. Following the running-in period, no further residual air will escape. Fine adjustment You can adjust the skimming performance according to the air volume of the pump. You can also change the installation height of the skimmer. However, adjustment according to the air volume is preferred.

Attention! Electrocution! ▶ Before maintenance work, remove the mains plug of the pump. Caution Material damage. ▶ Do not use hard objects or cleaning agents for cleaning. The following sections describe maintenance work necessary for optimum and fault-free operation. Regular maintenance prolongs the service life and assures functionality of the skimmer over a long period. Cleaning the skimmer

1. Before maintenance work, remove the mains plug of the pump.

2. Hold the skimmer with one hand.English

3. With the other hand, move the magnet half with logo on the glass

panel away from the skimmer.

6. Loosen the hose and then disassemble the airstone (⌦C/D).

7. Pull the foam cup i away with the cover facing upwards (⌦G1).

8. Open the body by pressing in the two side latches at the same time

10. Using a brush, clean all components under a jet of water.

11. Install the skimmer again in reverse order.

When assembling, make sure that the hinge for both halves of the body interlocks correctly (⌦H). Changing the lime wood airstone The airstone must be changed approximately every 4 weeks. To do so, proceed as follows:

1. Before maintenance work, remove the mains plug of the pump.

2. Hold the skimmer with one hand.

3. With the other hand, move the magnet half with logo on the glass

panel away from the skimmer.

6. Loosen the hose and then disassemble the airstone (⌦C/D).

7. Change the airstone

Only use original EHEIM spare parts: Lime wood airstone art. no. 7373328

8. Install the skimmer again in reverse order.

In order to prevent the wood pores of the airstone from swelling, put the skimmer into operation immediately after the change.English
