IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING : To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed when handling the LED Strip Lights, including the following:

1. For the complete enjoyment, use and understanding of this product,
   READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
   and all-important notices on the appliance before using. Failure to do so may result in loss of fish life and/or personal injury or damage to the unit.

2. DANGER – To avoid possible electrical shock, special care should be taken due to the close proximity of the LED Strip Lights to water. For each of the following situations, do not attempt repairs yourself; return the appliance to an authorized service facility for service or discard the appliance. (See Customer Service information at the end of this manual).
   If the unit falls into the water, DON’T reach for it! First unplug it and then retrieve it. If the electrical components of the appliance get wet, unplug the appliance immediately.
   Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not be plugged in if there is water on parts not intended to be wet.
   Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, or if it is malfunctioning, dropped or damaged in any manner. The power cord of the appliance cannot be replaced; if the cord is damaged, the appliance must be discarded. Never cut the cord.
   To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or wall socket getting wet, position the unit to one side of a wall mounted socket to prevent water from dripping onto the socket or plug. A “drip loop” (see illustration) should be arranged to the socket. The “drip loop” is that part of the cord below the level of the socket (or the connector if an extension cord is used), to prevent water travelling along the cord and coming into contact with the wall socket. If the plug or socket does get wet, DON’T unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies power to the appliance. Then unplug and examine for presence of water in the wall socket.
   

3. WARNING – Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. This appliance can be used by children ages 3 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision. This product is not a toy.

4. To avoid injury, do not come into contact with moving parts or hot parts such as heaters, LED devices, etc.

5. CAUTION – Always unplug or disconnect all appliances in the aquarium from electricity supply before placing hands in water, before putting on or taking off parts and when these LED Strip Lights are being installed, maintained, or handled. Never yank cord to pull plug from outlet. Grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.
   Always unplug an appliance from an outlet when not in use.
   WARNING: BE SURE YOU UNPLUG THE LED DRIVER FROM THE POWER OUTLET; JUST SWITCHING OFF THE APPLIANCE WITH THE APP IS NOT ENOUGH BECAUSE IT DOES NOT STOP THE POWER SUPPLY.
   Do not use the appliance for any purpose other than its intended use (i.e. don’t use in swimming pools, garden ponds, bathtubs, etc.). The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may result in a dangerous situation. Do not try to repair any product component: in case of damage, replace the damaged component with genuine spare parts.

6. IMPORTANT : These LED Strip Lights are AQUARIUM LUMINAIRES suitable FOR INDOOR USE ONLY designed to be assembled onto Fluval Siena Aquariums only. For fresh and saltwater ornamental aquariums with max 35°C water temperature. Do not install or store the appliance anywhere where temperatures may drop below freezing.

7. IMPORTANT : Make sure that the LED Strip Lights are securely and correctly installed before operating. The LED Strip Lights must never operate in water.
   Fill the aquarium up to the level indicated on the label situated on the inside of the aquarium (see the image on the right). IMPORTANT: Do not overfill.
   
   Overfilling the aquarium can cause water to pass under the top frame which then runs down the outside of the aquarium.
   WARNING: Do not plug in the LED Strip Lights if there is water on parts not intended to be wet.
   WARNING: Do not place any object(s) on the LED Strip Lights (C) or on the sliding top covers. Ensure sufficient airflow around the LED Strip Lights. The safety of the appliance is only ensured provided that it has been properly installed.

AQUARIUM CABINET INSTALLATION AND PREPARATION

Before handling the aquarium tank and cabinet, ensure you have sufficient people to move them without any risk.

ASSEMBLE THE AQUARIUM CABINET BEFORE REMOVING THE AQUARIUM FROM ITS PACKAGING.
You MUST place the Fluval aquarium on the appropriate Fluval cabinet which was designed with the correct dimensions
and structure to bear the weight of the aquarium full of water. The use of different cabinets, pieces of furniture, TV stands, etc., WILL invalidate your warranty and will compromise the product safety.
Please refer to the instruction manual of the aquarium cabinet. Do not attempt to set up the cabinet without reading and following the instruction manual. If it is missing or unusable, contact the store or Hagen Customer Service.

Placing the aquarium with its cabinet in the final location
Location of the aquarium is very important. Place the aquarium away from direct sunlight. This will reduce the risk of excessive algae build-up and avoid overheating the aquarium by the sunrays. Keep your Fluval Aquarium away from other sources of heat (air ducts, radiators, etc.) for proper temperature maintenance. Drafts should also be avoided. Do not locate your Fluval Aquarium where water spills will cause damage.
WARNING: Ensure that the selected position has an even and level surface which is able to support the total weight of the aquarium full of water and the cabinet. Place your new Fluval Aquarium and cabinet close to an electrical outlet. After placing the cabinet, assure that it is perfectly level by using an adequate leveling tool.
IMPORTANT: Fluval cabinets are designed to support the total weight of the aquarium. The table below shows the approx. height of filling of the tank and approx. weight of the aquarium full of water (rocks, decorations or gravel have not been considered).

THE AQUARIUM INSTALLATION

Before handling the aquarium tank and cabinet, ensure you have sufficient people to move them without any risk.

TAKE THE AQUARIUM TANK OUT FROM ITS PACKAGING
The aquarium glass tank comes with runners glued to it to support the LED Strip Lights and covers.
Do not try to remove the runners.
The tank is made of glass, always handle it with the utmost care. Make sure to lift it only by the base.

PLACE THE AQUARIUM TANK ONTO THE CABINET
IMPORTANT : Thoroughly clean the top side of the cabinet base and the lower side of the aquarium base.

Place the empty aquarium tank onto the cabinet, making sure that the connections lie in the appropriate opening of the cabinet. NEVER place anything underneath the aquarium. There should be NO additional support or lining (e.g., polystyrene mats) between the aquarium and the cabinet.
WARNING : Risk of breaking the glass tank base.
The glass tank features protruding fittings at the bottom, which can never be used as support points. Never try to lay the tank on any support except its cabinet, which is fitted with a special cavity to accommodate the fittings. When placing the tank onto its cabinet, remove the tank from the box and rest it on the cabinet paying the utmost attention not to damage the bottom fittings.

Never attempt to move or transport the cabinet with the glass tank or any other load on top of it.
Although the glass tank was manufactured with the maximum care and the most advanced techniques, we still recommend making a simple inspection prior to the installation to verify that unexpected events during handling and transportation have not damaged the tank or impaired its water-tightness.

1. Make a visual inspection of the glass tank to check for damage or cracks.
   Do not continue the installation if the tank is damaged.

2. If no damages and cracks are detected, proceed with the normal aquarium set up.

3. After the full installation of the aquarium kit with filter, heater, LED strip lights, decorations, etc., has been completed, fill the tank with water 2” (5 cm) at a time, while making sure there are no leaks.
   

EASY CONNECTION SYSTEM INSTALLATION

This section only applies to Fluval Aquariums with Fluval External filter and “EasyConnect” System.

INSTALLING WATER INTAKE/OUTPUT WITH “EASYCONNECT” SYSTEM
(Intake/output fittings are included in the filter packaging)
These Fluval Aquarium models feature the “EasyConnect” system, which allows the direct connection of the tank to the external filter through the bottom glass by means of special fittings. Normally, the same type of connection is achieved through specially made devices, which are complex and require the intervention of expert technicians.
On the contrary, in just a few minutes the “EasyConnect” system can be easily and safely installed, giving your aquarium a professional and tidy filtration solution.

Before proceeding, identify and count all parts required by referring to the exploded view in the side illustration. If any part is missing, do not proceed with the installation and contact your local supplier.
Before proceeding, check stems (A) for the presence of all 3 rubber rings (C). Do not proceed with the installation if one of the rubber rings (C) is missing and contact your local supplier.


TANK BOTTOM SEALING PLUGS

Locate the 2 openings in the tank bottom glass and assure that the corresponding opening in the cabinet is aligned with them. The 2 openings in the tank bottom glass are complete with factory-installed special plastic fittings, which must never be removed, turned, or loosened and with 2 sealing plugs (P) and (Q). The output group should be installed in the opening (O), whereas the intake group should be installed in the opening (I).

Do not force, loosen or turn the factory-installed special fittings on tank openings (I) and (O).
Once the output/intake groups are installed, do not shift the tank with respect to the cabinet as this may damage the output/intake devices and the glass tank.

OUTPUT SYSTEM INSTALLATION

1. Manually unscrew plug (P) and remove plug (Q) from opening (O) (Pict. 1).
   
   IMPORTANT : keep plugs (P) and (Q) for any future use.

2. Slip connector stem (A) fully through opening (O) until it stops (Pict. 2).
   

3. Open the cabinet. Screw and tighten the ring nut (R) onto the bottom end of stem (A) (Pict. 3).
   

4. Insert the output nozzle (N) into one end of output stem (B).

5. Insert output stem (B) onto connector stem (A) (Pict. 4).

6. Adjust the height of output nozzles according to your requirement by sliding outlet stem (B) along connector stem (A).

7. The output nozzles (N) can be easily rotated to divert the water flow where desired.
   Direct water jets so as not to let water overflow from the tank. Avoid directing the water jets towards the LED Strip Lights.

INTAKE SYSTEM INSTALLATION

1. Manually unscrew plug (P) and remove plug (Q) from opening (I) (Pict. 1).
   IMPORTANT : keep plugs (P) and (Q) for any future use.

2. Slip the second connector stem (A) fully through opening (I) until it stops (Pict. 2).

3. Open the cabinet. Screw and tighten the ring nut (R) onto the bottom end of the second stem (A) (Pict. 3).

4. Insert the intake strainer (S) onto connector stem (A) (Pict. 5). The assembly end result is shown on Pict. 6 and Pict. 7.
   

The height of the intake strainer is high enough to suit most standard aquarium decorations. When decorating the aquarium, ensure it remains at least 2” (5 cm) from the gravel bottom at all times to prevent it from sucking gravel or sand and ensure that no decorations block the passage of water. Ornaments and rocks should be positioned while the aquarium is still dry.
CAUTION!: Never force Connector Stems (A) sideways, as this may damage the Intake/Output systems and the glass tank.
In the event a different filtration system is used, which does not require the Intake/Output systems supplied with this unit
(e.g. an internal filter), restore the initial conditions by removing the 2 connector stems (A) and closing openings (O) and (I) with plugs (P) and (Q). Plug (Q) ensures a watertight seal and has to be inserted into its seat by pressing it. Plug (P) is designed to protect plug (Q) and ensure that plug (Q) remains in its seat properly. Screw plug (P) by hand only until it will no longer go without forcing it. DO NOT USE ANY TOOLS, AS DOING SO MAY DAMAGE THE UNIT.

FLUVAL FILTER & HEATER INSTALLATION, USE AND MAINTENANCE

LED STRIP LIGHTS AND TANK MAINTENANCE

CLEANING THE LED STRIP LIGHTS

Disconnect the plug of all the electrical equipment from power supply before any maintenance operation.

WARNING : Be sure you unplug the LED drivers from the power outlet; just switching off the lights with the APP is NOT enough because it does not stop the power supply. Never place the LED Strip Lights under water jets or submerge in water.
For maximum LED performance, it is recommended that the fixtures and LED lens be cleaned on a weekly basis. Unplug the LED drivers prior to cleaning the light fixtures. Use both hands when manipulating these appliances. Wipe exposed surfaces carefully with a damp cloth to remove any dust or mineral deposits that may collect over time. Do not use detergents or harsh cleaners as it can damage the light fixtures.
Use Fluval LED Lens Cleaning Kit (A3969) to clean the LED portion of the light fixtures. Make sure all surfaces are dry before re-connecting the LED drivers to the power source.
No special maintenance is required for the Fluval LED Strip Lights and covers, other than periodic cleaning with a damp cloth (never use harsh chemical products or detergents).
To remove calcareous deposits, it is recommended to use a mild acid such as lemon juice, followed by a thorough wipe down with a damp cloth to remove any residue.

SALTWATER AQUARIUMS

It is commonly known that saltwater is far more corrosive, conductive (of electricity) and generally degrades both plastic and metal parts at an accelerated rate versus fresh water. To minimize salt accumulations on the Fluval Covers and on the LED Strip Lights, it is recommended to take note of the following helpful tips:

1. Make sure filter outputs do not spray above the water surface; position them below the water surface with a slight downward angle, but still allow for surface movement (contributes to oxygenation).
2. If an air pump must be used, frequent removal of salt deposits will be necessary.
3. Keep the water level as constant as possible (regular top-ups due to evaporation). This is beneficial in providing stable salinity and will help protect the cover.
4. It is recommended to regularly clean all LED Strip Light components that come into contact with saltwater on a weekly basis. The cleaning should be carried out with a wet cloth (never use harsh chemical products or detergents). Simple lemon juice may be used to take away salt accumulation. Afterwards, rinse carefully to eliminate every residue of acid.
