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

3
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.

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. Position the heater in the aquarium. The
best position is near a strong water ow. The
outlet of a power lter 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.
6. Plug the power cord into the power socket
and arrange a “drip loop” and turn on.
7. To set the heater, use the Dial at the
top of the heater to adjust to the desired
temperature. Continue turning the Dial until
the preferred temperature is displayed 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. 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. If the heater is cracked and/or has
moisture inside it, disconnect it from the
power supply.
4. A surge protector is recommended for all
aquarium appliances.
5. Do not operate your Aquamanta heater
when it is not submerged in water.
6. The water level must be maintained at the
minimum water level line at all times.
7. For indoor use only.
