Installation & Set-up Guide
CAUTION: Before working with or installing heater, be sure to read and
understand all safety instructions and warnings.
Step 1:
Attach suction cups: Attach suction cups (D) to heater. Attaching both
suction cups will ensure proper positioning in your aquarium and will
allow adequate water circulation around the heater for even heat
distribution. Suction cups should only be placed over the label portion of
the heater as shown in FIG 1.
Note: DO NOT place suction cups over the heating element portion of the
heater.
Step 2:
Set heater temperature: In order to set the temperature, turn the
adjustment knob (A) to the required temperature value stated on the
graduated scale, located on the top of heater, as shown in FIG 2.
Step 3:
Heater installation: Install heater in water filled aquarium. The heater
works best when installed in the aquarium in the vertical position. The
installation of the heater in this position requires that the aquarium must
maintain a water level above the MINIMUM WATER LEVEL LINE (B) on the
heater, as shown in FIG 3. The heater can be installed in the aquarium in
the horizontal position. The installation of the heater in this position
requires that the heater be positioned fully submerged in water at all
times, as shown in FIG 3.
Step 4:
Plug into electrical outlet: Allow for heater to be submerged in water for
a minimum of 30 minutes prior to powering the appliance. Once heater
has been mounted and submerged for the 30 minutes, plug the
appliance into an electrical outlet. Once plugged in, the heater
will automatically start working. Should your water need heating, the
indicator lamp (C) will illuminate showing that the heater is functioning
and in heating mode.
Step 5:
Adjust temperature: Allow the heater to run for 24 hours at the original
setting prior to adjusting. Check the aquarium water with a reliable
thermometer. Should the heater need to be adjusted, simply turn the
adjustment knob to the appropriate setting.
Note: DO NOT over adjust the heater, this may cause harm to your
aquarium inhabitants and environment. Make sure of the required
temperature for your specific setup.
CAUTION: NEVER operate heater without rubber protective guard (E).
