Setup & Maintenance Guidelines

To ensure peak performance and a long lifespan for your filter, please follow these instructions:

1. Mandatory Priming: "The filter must be filled with water first and then plug in". Running the motor dry is strictly forbidden and can cause permanent damage.

2. Mounting: The filter "must be hung to the two sides or the back of the tank" for secure and stable operation.

3. Routine Cleaning: Regularly "clean the filter screen" and rinse internal sponges in aquarium water (not tap water) to maintain the 500 L/H flow rate.

4. Electrical Safety: Ensure your power supply matches the rating on the unit. "Do not touch the plug with wet hands" and always "keep the socket out of reach of children".
