Step 1: Feed the Water Pump cord down
the pipe. The cord will be connected to the
Connection Port at a later step.
For the next step, the Fountain Tier will
install into the middle of the Large Bowl
assembled in step 1. Rest the Fountain Tier
on the side of the large bowl.
NOTE: If the cables slip out
of the rubber stopper, you
can press the cables into the
slot in the side of the rubber
stopper. Maneuver the cord
to t snugly inside the hole
that is located in the center
of the rubber stopper.
Step 3: Firmly press the plug
into the pipe in the middle of
the Large Bowl.
If you are having trouble
pressing the plug into the
pipe, you can rub a small
amount of soapy water
on the plug to help it slide
into place.
Step 4: To ensure that you
have a good seal, make
sure the plug ts snugly as
pictured above.
If your Fountain came with the Water Pump disconnected from the tube inside of
the Fountain Tier, refer to the “Water Pump Connection” section of this manual for
instructions on how to connect the Water Pump to the Fountain Tier.

Step 5: Just like the large bowl and base, the fountain bowl uses a key system that will
lock it to the middle of the large bowl.
Be sure to leave approximately 7 to 8 inches (18 to 20cm) of slack in the cords
coming from the water pump so the pump will sit on the bottom of the large bowl
when the fountain bowl is assembled.
Step 6: Connect the Fountain Tier to the
Large Bowl and turn the Fountain Tier about
a quarter turn clockwise to lock it into place.
T o keep the base from turning rest your foot
on the base to assist in locking the fountain
tier in place.

compartment, reach up into the Base and gently pull
them down until they are hanging inside the Battery
Compartment.

DOOR BY PULLING DOWN!
This may cause damage to
your new Bernini™ Fountain.

Fill Your Fountain
Fill the Fountain Tier until water pours over the spouts. Then ll the Large Bowl until the
water is about 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) from the top of the bowl.
After you have lled your Fountain, grab both sides of the Large Bowl and quickly shake
your Fountain for ten seconds. This is to dislodge any air bubbles that may be caught
in your Water Pump. Press the C button once to turn your Fountain on. Water should
be owing from the top of your fountain. If water is not owing, press the C button once
more to turn your Fountain o, and repeat the step above.
IF YOUR FOUNTAIN IS MAKING A LOUD NOISE, DON’T PANIC!
This just means that there are air bubbles stuck in the Water Pump. Your pump will not
be harmed and you can easily x this issue. You can try priming the Fountain again by
repeating the steps above however, if the problem still persists, refer to the “Priming The
Water Pump” section of this manual for instructions on how to prime the Water Pump.
