Attach the suction cups
to the heater
Unpack the suction cups and install them onto
the provided heater clips, then clip them to the heater.
One suction cup should be placed towards the top of the
heater and another towards the middle. Suction cups
should not be placed over the heating portion of the
heater.
See Figure 1.
Set the heater temperature
Turn the temperature dial at the top of the
heater to line up with the desired aquarium
water temperature. Additional adjustment may be required
after the heater is installed.
See Figure 1.
Place the heater
into the aquarium
Install the heater into the aquarium after it has
been filled with water. The heater is fully submersible
and may be installed either vertically or horizontally.
The heater must be installed so that water in the
aquarium is
above the minimum water line
marked on
the heater. The water level
must be maintained
to stay
above this line.
See Figure 2.
Plug the heater into
the electrical outlet
Let the heater sit submerged in the aquarium
for 30 minutes before plugging it in, so that it can adjust
to the water temperature. Plug the heater into the
electrical outlet and it will begin operating. The red LED
operating light will illuminate indicating that the heater
is heating, and will turn green when the water has reached
the set temperature.
Check and adjust the
temperature, if necessary
Always use a reliable aquarium thermometer
in combination with any heater to double check the
water temperature. After the heater has run for 24 hours,
check the water temperature using a thermometer.
Small adjustments can be made to the heater set point to
adjust the water temperature higher or lower if necessary.
Once an adjustment is made, wait 24 hours before
re-checking the water temperature.
Note: Any adjustments to the aquarium water
temperature should be made slowly in small increments
to avoid stressing your aquarium inhabitants.
Research or consult a sales associate for species
specific temperature requirements.
