Safety Instructions
Before putting the aquarium into operation, be sure to carefully read through the entire Operating Instructions
and keep them handy for future reference.
For indoor use only. For use with aquariums.
When filled, the aquarium must
not
be transported or carried. It may only be set up on level surfaces. Use a
safety mat or the self-adhesive rubber feet that come with it.
DANGER OF BREAKING!
All electrical equipment in the water must be disconnected from the mains during care and maintenance
work.
The device’s power cable cannot be replaced. An external power cable or power supply unit must not be re-
paired. In case of cable damage, the device must no longer be used. If an external power cable or power sup-
ply is damaged, they must always be replaced.
Contact your specialised dealer or your EHEIM Service Centre.
P
The pump should not run dry.
P
Temperature range from +4°C up to max. +35°C.

The motor is protected from overheating.
For your own safety, we recommend to form a drip loop with the connection cable to prevent any water runn-
ing along the cable from intruding into the socket.
When using a multiple socket or an external power supply unit, position them atop the filter’s power con-
nection.
This equipment is not intended for use by persons (including children) with limited physical, sensory or
mental abilities or for persons with no experience or knowledge unless they are supervised by a person
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 appli-
ance manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition.
g)
Do not install or store the appliance 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 polar-
ized 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 qual-
ified electrician. 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.
