PRELIMINARY WARNINGS
!
!
• Check that all parts are undamaged (lights, heater, glass and plastic
parts, etc.). We use strong, secure packaging and checks each aquarium
individually, but we recommend you also check that no accidental
damage has occurred during transport, storage or sale which could affect
its watertight seal and safe use.
• Ensure that the voltage shown on the all electrical components
corresponds to that of your home electrical power supply.
• The aquarium is intended only for indoor use.
• Before switching on make sure your home is protected by an automatic
safety breaker switch (or individual breaker plug) with an operating
current of no more than 30 mA.
• Do not connect the aquarium to the power supply before correctly
completing all the installation procedures, including filling with water.
• Always disconnect all appliances from the electric power supply before
carrying out any maintenance.
• Remember that the protection of the lights from water and dust is
guaranteed only when the fluorescent tubes are correctly inserted and
the ring nuts perfectly tightened.
• The light must never be submerged.
• The power cable has Z-type wiring, so if damaged it must be replaced by
a qualified electrician.
• All special maintenance work must be carried out by a qualified
electrician. 'Special maintenance' means any kind of work not included
in the paragraph 'AQUARIUM MAINTENANCE' and 'FILTER MAINTENANCE'.
'Qualified electrician' means any qualified member of the register of
installer.
• Never remove the heater from the water when it is connected to the
electric power supply. Before removing the heater, disconnect it and
leave it to cool inside its housing for at least 5 minutes.
• Check that the filter intake grilles are not blocked.
• Always ensure that the water level stays above the minimum level
and below the maximum; both are marked on the front of the filter.
Remember that the water level should always be between the MIN and
MAX levels, both shown on the front of the filter and always at 1.5 cm
distance from the lamp.
• For correct operation of the thermal heater, keep the water level above
the "Minimum Water Level" line shown on the appliance.
• Do not damage the silicone cord with scissors, pliers, brushes or scrapers.
• Do not use detergents, solvents or chemical products (descaler,
ammonium-based products, etc.) to clean the glass, as they could
damage the silicone, causing it to become detached (possibly some time
later).
• Do not use adhesives or adhesive tape near the silicone when applying
backgrounds.
• Moreover, you should always use a spirit level to make sure that the
aquarium is placed on a perfectly flat surface in both directions (length
and depth), so as not to break the glass or damage the silicone.
• This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and
persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack
of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand
the hazards involved.
• Children shall not play with the appliance.
• Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without
supervision.
• Keep the appliance and its cord out of reach of children less than 8 years.
IMPORTANT. Within the European Union, a crossed-out
wheelie bin symbol on the product, documentation or
packaging indicates that the product cannot be disposed of in
the regular household waste stream, in compliance with EU Directive
2012/19/EC and with current local regulations. The product must be
disposed of at recycling centres or authorised waste disposal centres for
electrical and electronic equipment, in accordance with current legislation

12 Heater
POSITIONING THE AQUARIUM
• The aquarium should be placed on a solid flat base with a smooth even
surface.
• Position the aquarium in a protected area not exposed to direct sunlight
(which could cause overheating and a proliferation of algae), away from
sources of heat (e.g. heating radiators), cold air and drafts.
• Position the aquarium away from electrical equipment that could be wet
by splashes of water.
• Connect the plugs to your electric power supply leaving a loop in the
cable below the electrical socket to prevent drops of water running down
the cable and into the power supply (10).
• We reccomend using a stand especially designed to support the
aquarium, ensuring a solid, smooth even surface (11).
SETTING UP THE AQUARIUM
• Position the supports for the lamp in the appropriate seats on the cover
(1), then hook the lamp as shown in the picture (2).
• Position the internal filter inside the tank in the preferred position
(sideways or backwards) using the special suckers or some silicone.
• Ensure that the ring nuts on the LED lights are tightened.
• Furnish the aquarium according to your taste
• Position the heater at a point in the aquarium where there is good water
circulation; otherwise the thermostat will not work at its maximum
efficiency and the set temperature may not be reached.
• Set the required heater temperature according to the type of fish and
plants used (e.g. for freshwater tropical fish the average temperature is
about 25-26° C).
• Only now connects the plug to the electric power supply and check all the
equipment is working correctly. In case of problems, contact your retailer.
