•
Completely fill the container with water and place it
next to the aquarium.
–
Fill the container via the opening. For this, remove
the blind plug.
–
When starting it up for the first time, ensure that
the connection unit is max. 80 cm below the sur ‐
face of the water. Ensure that the water outlet
(flow ‐ out pipe or water distributor) is not sub ‐
merged.
–
A completely filled filter may be more than 80 cm
below the surface of the water. Note the maxi ‐
mum head height. ( → Technical data)
•
Route each power connection cable such that it
forms a drip loop.
Switching on:
Connect the unit to the mains. The unit
switches on immediately. When the unit is switched
on, it takes several minutes for the air to escape from
the unit (this makes a noise).

Adjust the flow at the flow regulator if necessary.
( → Assembling the suction unit)
Switching off:
Disconnect the unit from the mains.
