Before First Use / Preparation
Hints & Tips
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The maximum ambient temperature is 50°C. This
chiller is rated to decrease the water temperature
by up to 7-8°C for the listed aquarium volume. If
the chiller is used inside a cabinet, there must
be adequate ventilation in the cabinet for heat to
escape. At minimum you should consider utilising
at least two cross flowing vents in the cabinet
ideally with an exhaust fan for heat removal.
Read and follow all the instructions, even if you feel
you are familiar with the product and find a place to
keep the instructions handy for future reference.
Your attention is drawn particularly to the sections
concerning
“IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS”
and the
“GUARANTEE CONDITIONS”
. Please ensure you
retain your original purchase receipt in the event that
guarantee service is required.Carefully unpack the
filter making sure you keep all the packing material until
all the parts of the product have been found and the
product has been assembled.
This product is shipped to you in a factory sealed
carton. Should the product malfunction in any way
or if the unit is damaged and requires replacement,
contact the retailer where the product was purchased
for inspection.
1. Place the unit on a level surface.
2. Allow adequate ventilation. Allow sufficient clearence
to the front and sides of the chiller to allow adequate
air flow.
3. Do not cover the unit. Covering the vents on the
front, back and sides of the chiller could cause the
unit to overheat and will prevent the unit from cooling
efficiently.
4. Do not place items on top of the chiller.
5. Keep the chiller away from direct sunlight, moisture,
dust and flammable materials.
6. Do not tilt the chiller. If the unit has been transported
or stored on the side it must be left upright for 24-48hrs
before being turned on.
7. Heat is generated by light units, especially metal
halides as well as submersible pumps and other
electrical equipment. Consider the heat input of
these items and consider switching off some of these
components in extreme heat conditions.
