INITIAL USE
NOTE
• Before introducing fish and plants, check the water values, for example
with a Tetra test strip (accessories).
• If you are adding medication to the water, you should only use filter media
without activated carbon because activated carbon absorbs many types
of medication from the water.
Procedure: → Fig. F
Please note the following during start-up:
• The shut-o lever on the filter head must be pushed upwards to the stop
("ON" position). Both stopcocks must be fully open.
• To bleed, press the start button several times in quick succession (pump)
until water comes out of the return pipe and the flow is stable.
• Make sure that all of the hose connections are tightly connected.
• Top up the water in your aquarium, as the water level will have dropped
from filling the filter.
• Position the outlet tube in the aquarium in such a way that it creates slight
movements at the water surface. This is good for the water quality. If
necessary, the flow rate can be adjusted using the “IN” stopcock.
