  2. Do not connect the power cord to the power supply, unless specifi cally required.

  3. In order to ensure the correct working of the device in safe conditions, it is absolutely forbidden to expose the product to atmospheric agents and to direct heat sources. The temperature of the installation
    environment has to be between 5 °C and 38 °C (41 °F – 100 °F).

  4. Choose the place foreseen for the installation of the device. It must have the following features:

    • It must have openings that allow change of air with the outside.
    • The air change must be such to dissipate the heat of the device.
    • Make sure that the room temperature does not exceed 38 °C (100 °F) during operation.
  5. Place the device by taking into consideration the minimum recommended distances TECO-TANK-TK-3000-Quarium-Chiller-FIG1
    Tab. 1-1 Air outlet side (Ref. B)| >500 mm – 19.7 in
    ---|---
    Filter side (Ref. A)| >300 mm – 11.8 in
    Electrical power supply cable side (Ref. F)| >60 mm – 2.3 in

  6. Lay the tubes as follows:

    • Insert the fi tting (supplied in the package, including gasket and ring) inside the pipe, screw clockwise the fi tting orienting it as needed and tighten fi rmly.
    • In connecting the pipes, check that the pipe coming from the pump and/or from the fi lter group (not supplied as standard) is connected in the position indicated with INLET (Ref.C) and that the return pipe to the aquarium is connected in the position indicated with OUTLET (Ref.D).
  7. Install the appliance in the chosen location allowing for access to the control and maintenance of the air fi lter.

  8. Start the pump and make sure that the water circulates regularly within the circuit without any leaks. In case of abnormalities of the hydraulic circuit or leaks thereof, inspect the connections.

  9. CAUTION:Make sure that the water that reaches the device is fi ltered.

  10. Make sure that the electrical power supply requirements correspond to those shown on the technical data plate, applied on the rear of the device.

  11. With the pump in operation, insert the electrical power supply cable in the electrical current socket and by displacing the electrical switch in position “1”, your device will start operating. The temperature of water is indicated on the display. To view the temperature to be reached, press the SET key; to return to the water temperature, press once again the SET key or wait for 5 seconds.

  12. CAUTION: A 2-minutes delay was added to prevent compressor failure at the fi rst start.

  13. To stop the device, displace the electrical switch in position “0”.

CAUTION: The appliance must be installed at a lower level than the water level.
CAUTION: To prevent damages, the unit cannot operate without water fl ow (pump off ).
CAUTION: Do not place the appliance on top of the tank or in a position that allows salty air to be sucked up into the condenser. CAUTION: Only TK9000 and TK9000H.
