Installing and connecting the aerator pump
NOTE
When installing the unit, ensure that it
• is located outside the aquarium
• is not placed on or over the aquarium
• cannot fall into the water or move out of position.
Damage resulting from incorrect installation is not ba-
sis for a claim within the framework of the guarantee
or warranty.
How to proceed:
 D
1. Connect the air hose leading out of the aquarium to
the air connection of the aerator pump and fit the
aerator pump above the subsequent level of the
aquarium water.
– This prevents water from leaking or damage to
the pump in case the integrated non-return valve
should fail.
2. Connect the connection cable of the aerator pump
to the separate socket of the plug-in transformer so
that it forms a drip loop.
– Always connect the aerator pump to the plug-in
transformer first, then connect the plug-in trans-
former to the power socket.
