Important Safeguards
To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed,
including the following:
1. Read and follow all safety instructions and important notices in these
instructions as well as on the product itself.
2. This appliance is not intended for use by children or infirm persons without
supervision. Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the appliance.
3. To avoid possible electric shocks, special care should be taken since water
is employed in the use of aquarium equipment. For each of the following
situations do not attempt repairs yourself. Return the appliance to an
authorised service facility for service or discard the appliance.
a. If the appliance or any electrical component of the appliance (non-
immersible equipment only) falls into the water or gets wet, do not reach for
it. Unplug it and then retrieve it.
b. If the appliance shows any sign of abnormal water leakage, immediately
unplug it from the power source
c. Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not be plugged
in if there is water on parts which are not intended to be wet.
d. Do not operate the appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, or if it is
malfunctioning, or dropped or damaged in any manner.
4. A “drip loop” (see graphic) should be arranged for each cable connecting
an aquarium to a power supply. The drip loop is the part of the cable below
the level of the power supply. It prevents water travelling down the cable and
coming into contact with the power supply. If the plug or the socket does get
wet, do not unplug the appliance. Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that
supplies the power to the appliance, then unplug and examine for presence
of water in the socket.
5. Always unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet when not in use,
before putting on or taking off parts, before any type of maintenance or
cleaning.
6. Never yank the cable to pull it from the socket. Pull the plug carefully to
disconnect.
7. Do not use the appliance for reasons other than the intended use. The use
of attachments that are not recommended or sold by the manufacturer may
cause the product to be unsafe. This is not recommended.
8. Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to weather or
temperatures below freezing.
9. Make sure any component mounted on a tank is securely installed before
operating it.
10. Ensure input voltage is the same voltage as your local power supply.
11. If an extension cable is used it should have the proper rating. Care should
be taken to arrange the cord so that it will not be tripped or pulled.
12. A G.F.C.I (Ground fault circuit interrupter) & surge protector is
recommended for all electrical appliances.
13. Ensure your hands are dry when turning the power switch on/off and
when inserting/removing the power cable from the socket.
14. If you are in any doubt about the electrical installation or safety of this
product you must consult a qualified electrician.

Step by step guide
1. Select the proper wattage heater for your aquarium. Normally 1 watt will
heat 1 litre of water. For example a 200W heater is required for a 180 to
200L aquarium.
2. Position the heater in the aquarium. The best position is near a strong
water flow. The outlet of a power filter is ideal.
3. The heater should not come in contact with the gravel or substrate. This
may cause a hot spot on the glass and cause the heater to crack.
4. Use the suction caps provided to fasten the heater to the aquarium.
Suction caps should be positioned on the top third of the heater not on the
heating element.
5. Do not plug the heater in unless submersed in water. Always allow 10-
15 minutes for the heater to acclimate to the aquarium temperature before
plugging the unit in.
6. Plug the power cord into the power socket and arrange a “drip loop” (see
diagram left) and turn on.
7. To set the heater, use the purple control knob at the top of the heater to
adjust to the desired temperature. Continue turning the knob until the
preferred temperature is displayed in the window on the front of the heater.
A light will come on when the heater is working, It will switch off when it
reaches the set temperature.
8. Confirm your set temperature with an accurate thermometer. The
thermometer should be placed at the opposite end of the aquarium to the
heater. A small variation between the heater’s set temperature and the
thermometers reading is normal.
