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 inrm 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 qualied
electrician.
15. This product is intended for indoor use only.

Before First Use / Preparation
Hints & Tips
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The maximum ambient temperature is 50°C. This
chiller is rated to decrease the water temperature
by up to 7-8°C for the listed aquarium volume. If
the chiller is used inside a cabinet, there must
be adequate ventilation in the cabinet for heat to
escape. At minimum you should consider utilising
at least two cross owing vents in the cabinet
ideally with an exhaust fan for heat removal.
Read and follow all the instructions, even if you feel
you are familiar with the product and nd a place to
keep the instructions handy for future reference.
Your attention is drawn particularly to the sections
concerning “IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS” and the
“GUARANTEE CONDITIONS”. Please ensure you
retain your original purchase receipt in the event that
guarantee service is required.Carefully unpack the
lter making sure you keep all the packing material until
all the parts of the product have been found and the
product has been assembled.
This product is shipped to you in a factory sealed
carton. Should the product malfunction in any way
or if the unit is damaged and requires replacement,
contact the retailer where the product was purchased
for inspection.
1. Place the unit on a level surface.
2. Allow adequate ventilation. Allow sufcient clearence
to the front and sides of the chiller to allow adequate
air ow.
3. Do not cover the unit. Covering the vents on the
front, back and sides of the chiller could cause the
unit to overheat and will prevent the unit from cooling
efciently.
4. Do not place items on top of the chiller.
5. Keep the chiller away from direct sunlight, moisture,
dust and ammable materials.
6. Do not tilt the chiller. If the unit has been transported
or stored on the side it must be left upright for 24-48hrs
before being turned on.
7. Heat is generated by light units, especially metal
halides as well as submersible pumps and other
electrical equipment. Consider the heat input of
these items and consider switching off some of these
components in extreme heat conditions.

Installation
4. Attach the hose to the outlet fitting. Use the supplied
hose clamp to secure the hose. The outlet should not
be placed close to the pump that is feeding the chiller.
5. Turn on the water supply to the chiller. Allow it to run
for a few minutes before turning the chiller on at the
power supply.
6. Check all hoses and connections for any kinks or
leaks.
7. Plug the chiller in at the power supply.
8. There is a power switch located at the back of the
unit. Switch on the chiller.
9. Set the chiller to the desired temperature. Press
and hold the set button (fig. 1) on the control pad for
5 seconds, until the display flashes displaying P and
a 2 digit number. This is the temperature the chiller
is set to. Use the up and down buttons to select the
desired temperature. Once the correct temperature is
displayed, press the set button again.
The switching temperature can be set to a variance
of either 1, 2 or 3°C. In order to change this, press
the Set and Up arrow buttons (fig. 2) together for 5
seconds. Either a 1, 2 or 3 will be displayed. Use the
up or down keys to switch between these settings then
press Set to confirm the value. The chiller will turn on
once the temperature reaches this value above the
set temperature and switch off once the aquarium
temperature is below the set temperature. For example
if the chiller is set to 25°C with 2°C variance, the chiller
will switch on at 27°C and switch off at 24.9°C.
NOTE: If installing the chiller on an existing aquarium,
drop the temperature by only 1-2°C per day.
If the chiller is switched off it will take a minimum of 3
minutes for it to come back on.
When performing any maintenance on this unit,
ensure the power has been switched off at the power
supply and the plug has been disconnected.
It is recommended to clean the intakes on the chiller
once a month. Failure to do so may cause the chiller
to overheat and suffer permanent damage. In order to
clean the unit, remove the plastic covers then using
a soft bristled brush, throughly brush the entire grill.
Vacuum the area to remove any dust/dirt that has come
loose.
CAUTION: When cleaning the chiller,do not use water
on the external parts or the radiator. The chiller must
remain dry at all times.
If the chiller has not been run for an extended period
(for example after being switched off during winter),
flush the chiller with freshwater or freshly mixed salt
water. Discard the water that is flushed out of the unit.
CALIBRATION
This unit can be calibrated to ±1.5°C from the displayed
temperature. Calibration should be done using an
accurate thermometer and can be used to calibrate the
chiller to aquarium temperature where heat is generated
in water before it is supplied to the chiller,for example
by heaters or pumps. To calibrate the temperature press
and hold the Up and Down buttons (fig. 3) together for
5 seconds. A temperature of between -1.5°C and 1.5°C
will be displayed. Use the Up and Down buttons to set
the desired calibration value then press the set button
to confirm the value.
