INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION

Setting up the aquarium How to proceed:

• Carefully unpack the acrylic aquarium.

• Do not expose to direct sunlight.

• Only set up in closed rooms.

• Do not move the aquarium when it is filled.

• Do not place on or near electrical devices.

• Do not place on or near heat sources.

• Operation under observance of the technical data. Fitting the filter unit How to proceed:

• Remove the packaging from the filter medium.

2. Remove the evaporation tray.

3. Release the air column from the filter housing by a

quarter turn counterclockwise (bayonet closure) and lift out.

4. Place the air column onto the filter cartridge and

fasten the air column by a quarter turn counter- clockwise.

5. Insert the air column into the aquarium and fasten

it to the filter housing by a quarter turn clockwise. Using the ceramic substrate NOTE Remove the packaging from the filter medium. Thor- oughly rinse the ceramic substrate with warm tap wa- ter before using for the first time to remove any soil- ing. (→ Replacing the filter cartridge)- EN -

• Do not use aquarium gravel as it could clog the filter cartridge.

• Only use the ceramic substrate provided.

• Do not tip the ceramic substrate into the aquarium from a height as it could scratch the acrylic.

• Only use ceramic substrate particles that are at least pea-sized. Remove and dispose of any particles that are smaller. How to proceed:

• Wash and then place the supplied ceramic substrate carefully into the aquarium and arrange it around the filter housing. Installing and connecting the aerator pump NOTE When installing the unit, ensure that it

• is located outside the aquarium

• is not placed on or over the aquarium

• cannot fall into the water or move out of position. Damage resulting from incorrect installation is not ba- sis for a claim within the framework of the guarantee or warranty.

1. Connect the air hose leading out of the aquarium to

the air connection of the aerator pump and fit the aerator pump above the subsequent level of the aquarium water. This prevents water from leaking or damage to the pump in case the integrated non- return valve should fail.

2. Connect the connection cable to the separate

socket of the plug-in transformer but do not yet connect the plug-in transformer to the mains socket. First complete the start-up prepara- tions.(→ Commissioning/start-up) Connecting the lighting unit NOTE Never immerse the lighting units in water or other liq- uids. How to proceed:

1. Connect the connection cable to the separate

socket of the plug-in transformer but do not yet connect the plug-in transformer to the mains socket. First complete the start-up prepara- tions.(→ Commissioning/start-up) COMMISSIONING/START-UP Filling with and preparing the water It is necessary to prepare the aquarium water by add- ing "Water Conditioner" and "Biological Booster". How to proceed:

1. Fill the aquarium with tap water up to about 5 cm
