Care and Maintenance
The JUWEL Aquarium Multilux light system requires little care and maintenance. Clean
the frames using a soft towel and warm water only.
Changing the Tubes:
Please note that tubes should always be replaced in pairs and the tube holders should
also be replaced as they contain the vital seals that guarantee water tightness.
Please follow the following steps to replace your tubes:
- Disconnect the hood system from the power supply - just switching off is not enough
- and unscrew the tube holders and move them to the centre of the tube.
- Remove the tube by pulling it gently towards you.
- Place the new tube holders on the new tube.
- Position the pins on the tubes in line with the slots on the tube holders, push the
tube in until it clicks and tighten the new tube holders firmly to ensure a water tight
seal.
- Place the light unit back on the aquarium and reconnect to the power supply and
switch on.
Safety instructions:
Always disconnect the light system from the power supply before changing the
tubes.
Never repair the electrical cord or plug. In case of damage replace the complete
light system.
Recommendation:
JUWEL End Caps
To ensure the water tightness of your Multilux light system always use genuine JUWEL
Aquarium spare parts.
Please note the tube holders are available from your JUWEL Aquarium retailer.
In the event of a problem the Multilux light system will automatically switch off.
If after replacing both light tubes the unit still fails to work then the unit itself will
need replacing. Please see your aquarium passport for details of which unit you require
or consult your JUWEL Aquarium retailer.
Safety instructions:
Never use the light system under water.
Never attempt to open the light unit or repair it. This is dangerous and will
invalidate your warranty.
