Assembly and Instructions for Use

FIG 1 Assembly and Instructions

Figure 1

Unpack the product and place on a horizontal surface. Wipe off dust with a damp cloth.
Familiarize yourself with the pump. The pump speed is controlled by the switch located at the front of the pump. The speed is indicated by a “-” and “+” (Fig 1). At its highest speed level, the switch will cease to move any further. To decrease the pump speed, move the switch upward toward the “-”sign. Similarly, at its lowest speed, the switch will cease to move any further.
Insert the plastic tubing into the pump. Place pump into fountain lower basin (Fig 2).
Fill the lower basin with clean water. The water level should be approximately 1/2 an inch below the steel net (Fig 3). NOTE: Distilled water is recommended for easier maintenance.
Attach the A/C adaptor jack to the base power cord. DO NOT plug into outlet at this time(Fig 2.)
Insert sound cord through hole in top basin and insert into plug on bottom of lid. Then screw housing clockwise until tight (Fig 4).

FIG 2 Assembly and Instructions

Figure 2

FIG 3 Assembly and Instructions

Figure 3

FIG 4 Assembly and Instructions

Figure 4

Tilt lid forward and line up the hooks of the lid with the square locks of the top basin. Then place flat onto fountain top and slide lock switch (Fig. 2) to hold securely in place.
Plug the power cord into a 120V household outlet. The fountain & sound machine are controlled by the switch on the power cord. To operate Rain Forest Fountain, turn on by rotating switch on cord (Fig. 2). If fountain doesn’t operate, rotate switch once to turn on and once more to turn off to reset. NOTE: Unit power must be “ON” in order for both the fountain and sound machine to operate.
To use light, flip switch on the back of the fountain lid (Fig 2).
To adjust rainfall speed, turn the water flow dial (Fig 3) clockwise to increase the rainfall and counter-clockwise to decrease. When dial stops in counter-clockwise motion, rainfall will come to a stop. For trickling water wall effect leave dial in lowest position before coming to a complete stop.
NOTE: If water is not flowing properly down the rock wall run your finger horizontaly across the wall to spread the water.
To use sounds, turn volume dial (Fig 2) counter-clockwise to turn on.
Then select your nature sound by pressing the sound button of your choice. Volume can be adjusted by turning the volume dial – counterclockwise to increase volume and clockwise to decrease volume.
To Turn sounds off either:
a. Press the off button on the lid to retain your volume setting for the next use, or
b. Turn the volume dial clockwise until it clicks off.
Turn fountain & sound machine off by turning the switch on the power cord.

NOTE: Main power switch must be used to turn unit completely on or off.
– Fountain can be used independent of sound machine
– Sound Machine can be used without fountain water flowing, although pump will remain on unless main “on/off” switch is turned off.

Caution: All servicing of this fountain must be performed by authorized HoMedics service personnel only.

Attention:
In order to get best results, please operate pump completely submerged. Keep the water level above the minimum water level ALL THE TIME.

Maintenance

To clean the pump:
Unplug from electrical outlet. Remove it from the base of the fountain. Use a small brush or stream of water to remove any debris (Fig 6).
To keep water clean:
Periodically change water and clean the product according to the water condition. Keeping the water clean prevents the water from becoming sticky and forming micro-organisms.
Keeping the water at an optimum level:
Add water periodically to keep water level at an optimum level to avoid shortening the life of the pump. NOTE: Never let the pump run dry, as this will shorten the life of the pump.
Fountain Storage
Unplug the fountain from the electrical outlet, empty the water, and store in a dry, cool place.

FIG 5 Maintenance

Troubleshooting

If water of rainfall holes fails to flow:
Open the lock and take off the lid. Take cleaning pin out and stick through holes several times (Fig 5). Then secure the cleaning pin back into the cover, and replace the lid.
If the pump fails to operate, check the following:
Check the circuit breaker, or try a different outlet to make sure the pump is getting electrical power. NOTE: Always disconnect from electrical outlet before handling the pump.
Check the pump discharge and tubing for kinks and obstructions. Algae build up can be flushed out under a heavy faucet.
Remove the pump inlet to access the impeller area. Turn the impeller to ensure it is not broken or jammed (Fig 6).
Monthly maintenance will add to your pump’s life.
NOTE: Ensure that the electrical cord loops below the electrical outlet to form a ‘Drip Loop’. This will prevent water from running down the cord into the electrical outlet (Fig 7).
If the pump gurgles, spews or “burps”:
Check the water level to make sure the pump has enough water to function.
Obtaining a desired water level:
Check the water level daily the first week to measure the rate of evaporation; refill with water as needed.
