FLUVAL AQUARIUM KITS: MAIN PARTS IDENTIFICATION
IMPORTANT GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT! The symbol “ ” has the following meaning: “WARNING! Important advice about hazards”
Read this instruction manual carefully and completely before installing the Aquarium Kit
and familiarize yourself with all safety instructions, terms and parts. The instructions for set-
ting up the Cabinet are not included in this manual but are provided in a separate manual
included in the Cabinet carton box.
DANGER - To avoid possible electric shock, special care should be taken since water is
employed in the use of aquarium equipment.
IMPORTANT: Supply all appliances through a RCD (Residual Current Device) or GFCI
(Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) with rated residual current not exceeding 30mA.
Carefully examine all appliances before and after installation. They should not be plugged in if
there is water on parts not intended to be wet.
CAUTION – Always unplug or disconnect all appliances in the aquarium from the electricity sup-
ply before placing hands in water, before putting on or taking off parts and while the equipment is
being installed, maintained or handled. When inserting or removing equipment from the water,
always pull out all main electricity plugs. Never yank the cord to pull the plug from the outlet.
Grasp the plug and pull to disconnect. Always unplug an appliance from an outlet when not in use.
All appliances are suitable for indoor use only . Do not install or store the appliances where
they will be exposed to the weather or to temperatures below freezing.
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. The connection should be carried out by a qual-
ified electrical installer.
This is not a toy. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near children.
Before handling the aquarium tank and cabinet, check their weight in the table on page 4 to
assess whether you have the capability and means to handle them without risk or personal injury.
FLUVAL VICENZA and VENEZIA Aquarium Kits
Instruction Manual
Introduction
This instruction manual is for the following Fluval Aquarium Kits:
Vicenza 180 Vicenza 260
Venezia 190 Venezia 350
All kits include a tank, a cabinet, a Strip-Light canopy, a Fluval external filter and a heater.
The Fluval external filter can be connected to the tank easily and safely, thanks to the new “Easy-
Connect” system, which makes connecting to powerful external filtration systems easy and eliminates the
use of unsightly hosing and prominent cross rim devices.
The kits are packaged in 2 separate boxes:
- One box contains the glass tank with the Strip-Light canopy and an inner white box
containing the external filter, the heater, all EasyConnect attachments, and an instruction
manual.
- The other box contains the knocked-down cabinet and setup instructions.
