Assembly
Flip all four EZ clips open and push upwards. With the help
of the two recessed lid handles, the pump head of the filter
can be easily lifted off.

Do not overfill. Do not clog flow-through pipe.

Insert the second (and third) media container in the same
manner. Make sure the flow-through pipe openings line up on
top of each other. Put second and/or third rubber hermetic
seals on the upper media container. Lower each retractable
handle and ensure that all media containers lie flush on top of
each other.
Then insert the fine filter pad (white) and the lattice screen in
such a manner that the round cut-out lines up with the re-
spective flow-through pipe opening.
Fill the first container with
EHEIM MECH, but leave just
enough space so that the
blue filter pad can be placed
in the container under the
retractable handle.
Fill the second and/or third
container with the biological
filter media SUBSTRATpro
to just below the edge.
ATTENTION: Fine filter pad (white) should not be placed
under the retractable handle of the media container.
Then thoroughly rinse the filter media in the containers under
running water until all cloudiness has disappeared.
Place the container with the blue filter pad in the filter canis-
ter and firmly press downwards until it rests on the support
frames. This guarantees an hermetic seal between media
containers and canister.
Remove lattice screen and fine filter pad and take out each
media container by grabbing the retractable handles and
pulling upwards. Fill the containers with EHEIM filter media to
achieve best results.
