CONGRATULATIONS
On your purchase of a Marina Slim filter. For a complete understanding of the filter’s
operation and capabilities, please read carefully and follow these instructions. Be certain to
read the
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
before using your filter.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING –
To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed, including
the following:
1.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
and all the important notices on the appliance before use, failure to do so may result in
loss of fish life and/or damage to this appliance.
2. DANGER –
To avoid possible electric shock, special care should be taken since water is
employed in the use of aquarium equipment. For each of the following situations, do not
attempt repairs yourself; return the appliance to an authorized service facility for
service or discard the appliance.
A.
If the appliance shows any sign of abnormal water leakage or if RCD (or GFCI- Ground
Fault Current Interrupter) switches off disconnect the power supply cord from mains and
remove the filter pump from water.
B.
Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not be plugged if there is water
on parts not intended to be wet.
C.
Do not operate any appliance if it has a
damaged cord or plug, or if it is malfunctioning
or it is dropped or damaged in any manner. The
power cord of this appliance cannot be
replaced; if the cord is damaged, the appliance
should be discarded. Never cut the cord.
D.
To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or receptacle getting wet, position the
appliance to one side of a wall mounted receptacle to prevent water from dripping onto
the receptacle or plug. A “drip loop” (see illustration 1) should be arranged by the user
for the cord connecting appliance to a receptacle. The “drip loop” is that part of the cord
below the level of the receptacle or the connector if an extension cord is used, to prevent
water travelling along the cord and coming in contact with the receptacle. If the plug
or receptacle does get wet, DON’T unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse or circuit
breaker that supplies power to the appliance. Then unplug and examine for presence
of water in receptacle.
3. WARNING –
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near
children. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance
by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.
4.
To avoid injury, do not touch moving parts or hot parts.
5. CAUTION –
Always unplug or disconnect all appliances in the aquarium from
electricity supply before placing hands in water, before putting on or taking off parts and
whilst the equipment is being installed, maintained or handled. When inserting or
removing the filter pump from the water, always pull out the main electricity plug. Never
yank cord to pull plug from outlet. Grasp the plug and pull to disconnect. Always unplug
an appliance from an outlet when not in use.
6.
This is an aquarium filter pump. Do not use this filter pump for other than intended use
(i.e.: do not use in swimming pools, bathrooms, etc.). The use of attachments not
recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition.
• Do not use this filter pump in swimming pools or other situations where people
are immersed.
• This filter pump is suitable for use in water temperatures up to 35 °C.
• Do not use this filter pump with inflammable or drinkable liquids.
7.
This filter pump is suitable for Indoor Household Use Only.
8.
Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to the weather or to
temperatures below freezing.
9.
Make sure that the filter pump is securely installed before operating it. Do not allow pump
to run dry. The filter pump must be immersed in water completely. This filter pump must
never operate outside of water.
10.
If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with 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.
11.
For the complete use and understanding of this product it is recommended that this
manual is thoroughly read and understood. Failure to do so may result in damage to this product.
12.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety
feature, this plug will fit in a polarized 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 qualified electrician. Never use
with an extension cord unless plug can be fully inserted. Do not attempt to defeat this
safety feature.

Following a routine maintenance schedule will result in a healthier aquarium and extend the
life of the filter. For best results please follow our maintenance schedule recommendations.
REPLACING FILTER CARTRIDGES
For best results, replace 1-2 filter cartridges every two (2) to four (4) weeks. Register
online for a cartridge change reminder at www.hagen.com/timeforachange

biological filtration.
1.
Turn power off and remove filter cartridges.
2.
Rinse filter cartridges thoroughly with tank water and put back or replace.

MOTOR CLEANING
For best results, clean impeller and impeller well every three (3) to six (6) months.
