Important Safeguards
To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed,
including the following:
Read and follow all safety instructions and important notices in these
instructions as well as on the product itself.
1. Appliance is not intended for use by person (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
2. 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. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its
service agent or similarly qualied persons in order to avoid a hazard.

Setup Instructions
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. To secure the thermostat controller inside the cabinet, use a
small screw protruding slightly from the surface. A keyhole hook is
located on the back of the controller unit to hook onto the screw
head.
3. Position the heater in the aquarium. The best position is near a
strong water ow. The outlet of a power lter is ideal.
4. Use the suction caps provided to fasten the heater to the
aquarium.
IMPORTANT: Do not plug the heater in unless submersed in water.
5. Position the probe as far from the heater as possible, using the
suction cup to secure the probe in place.
6. Plug the power cord into the power socket and arrange a “drip
loop” and turn on.
7. To set the heater, use the button on the front of the thermostat
controller to adjust to the desired temperature. Press the button to
increase the set temperature by 1°C until the preferred temperature
is displayed on the front of the heater. The temperature will cycle
upwards to 34°C and then revert to 14°C. A light will come on
below the LCD screen when the heater is working, It will switch off
when it reaches the set temperature.
8. Conrm 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.
Tips
1. Always disconnect the heaters power supply prior to working on
the aquarium.
2. If removing the heater from the aquarium, turn it off at the
power supply, wait 10-15 minutes to allow it to cool, and then
remove it from the aquarium.
3. A surge protector is recommended for all aquarium appliances.
4. Do not operate your Aquamanta heater when it is not fully
submerged in water.
5. For indoor use only.

Troubleshooting
HEATER DOES NOT WORK
1. Ensure the plug is inserted correctly and the switch is in the on
position.
THE LED IS WORKING, BUT THE HEATER IS NOT HEATING
THE AQUARIUM
1. Check that the thermostat controller is set on the desired
temperature.
2. Double check the thermometer. Use a second one.
3. Ensure the thermometer is not near the heater. Relocate the
thermometer to the opposite end of the aquarium.
4. Return the unit to the place of purchase for further inspection.
