Installation
Cleaning the foam filter
Rinse the foam filter thoroughly with cold tap water prior to its first
use.
Fitting the skimmer
- Position the skimmer on the wall of the aquarium in such a way that the float body is floating high up on top of the water. This ensures that the vacuum function will work even if the water level falls due to evap-oration.
Commissioning/start-up
- Switching on: Plug the power plug into the outlet.
- The unit switches on immediately.
- Lay the power supply cord so that a drip loop is formed and the lowest point is below the socket. This prevents dripping water from entering the socket.
- Set the desired flow rate.
- Switching off: Pull the power plug from the outlet.
