Handling
Installation and Operation (picture
1)
Unpack the filter cartridge and
place it together with the filter
foam as shown on the picture (at-
tention: The green side of the filter
cartridge has to point at the front
side of the filter. The front of the
foam grid is marked with “Front”
and should point towards the front
of the filter).
The outlet of the filter should be
placed above the water surface.
The distance between filter and the
gravel on the bottom of the aquar-
ium should be at least 2.5 cm (pic-
ture 2). If you have placed plants or
other objects in the aquarium the
distance to the filter housing should
be at least 15 mm.
Only for use in the Tetra AquaArt
®
Aquarium: Replace the current suc-
tion cups with the hanger and suc-
tion cups included. Hang the filter
in the filter slots on the back of the
upper frame
(picture 3 + 4).
Care and Maintenance
Important: Unplug the unit from
the mains before carrying out any
maintenance activities.
Cleaning
For crystal clear water the filter
cartridge (EasyCrystal
®
FilterPack)
should be replaced every 4 weeks.
In order to change the EasyCrystal
®
FilterPack cartridge (C) unplug
the power plug, simply replace
the cartridge and plug in the filter
again. That’s it! (see picture 5 and 6)
EasyCrystal
®
FilterPack replace-
ment cartridges are available at
your local retailer.
If you add remedies for the fish
into the water please use an
EasyCrystal
®
FilterPack cartridge
without activated carbon, as
activated carbon reduces the
effect of most remedies. These
filter cartridges are available at
your local retailer.
The EasyCrystal
®
Filter BioFoam
(D) should be cleaned only rarely. If
the filter foam is clogged take it out
of the housing and rinse it out – use
water taken from the aquarium for
this as tap water will kill many of the
useful bacteria on the filter.
Do not use soap or cleaning agents
as their residues could be harmful
for the fish.
Do not use sand in the aquarium
when the EasyCrystal
®
Filter is
installed.
If the motor of the filter is very
noisy unplug the filter and take it
out of the aquarium. Pull off the
