Take the filter out of the cabinet by using the two recessed lid
handles. Open all EZ clips and remove the pump head from
the canister.
In order to clean the pump chamber, turn the pump head
upside down and open the sealing ring by turning it anti-
clockwise. Then remove the pump cover, impeller and the
shaft.
Clean all pump parts, impel-
ler chamber and lubrication
channel with EHEIM cleaning
set (no. 4009580). Carefully
rinse off shaft (risk of break-
age!), then put impeller back
together again and insert in-
to proper position.
Pay attention to the proper fit of the shaft bushings, lid and
sealing ring.
Lock pump cover by turning clockwise.
Filter media:
Remove the lattice screen, filter pads and media containers
from the filter canister.
Thoroughly wash out the filter media with used aquarium
water – until no more clouding can be seen.
The fine filter pad (white) serves as mechanical fine filtration
and should only be used once since adhering dirt particles
cannot be washed out completely.
Use new pad, order no. 2616265!
The blue filter pad (1 x included in set, order no. 2616260) can
be reused up to 2 - 3 times.
TIP:
If cleaning water should get
into the cover element of the
pump head of the filter, the
cover can be unscrewed and
wiped dry with a cloth.
Maintenance and Servicing
Remove mains plug. Close both tap levers (position OFF).
Swing the locking clamp upwards and then remove the inte-
grated double tap connector from the pump head of the filter.
TIP:
When renewing the SUB-
STRAT
pro media (the fine
pores get clogged up with
time), retain 1/3 of used fil-
ter medium and mix with
new material to speed-up
bacteria recolonization.
Wash out the filter canister. Then place the media containers
back in position.
