Elive Aquarium Heaters are listed by Underwriters Laboratories to
ensure that they meet the stringent U.S. and Canadian safety requirements.
1. A. If the appliance shows any sign of abnormal
water leakage, immediately unplug it from the
power source.
B. Carefully examine the appliance after installation.
It should not be plugged in if there is water on
the parts not intended to be wet.
C. Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged
cord or plug, if it is malfunctioning or if it is
dropped or damaged in any manner.
D. To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or
receptacle getting wet, position aquarium stand and
tank to one side of the wall mounted receptacle
to prevent water from dripping onto the receptacle
or plug. A “drip loop,” shown in the figure below,
should be arranged by the user for each cord
connecting an aquarium appliance to the
receptacle. The “drip loop” is the part of the cord
below the level of the receptacle, or the connector
if an extension cord is used, to prevent water
travel along the cord and coming in contact with
the receptacle. If the plug or the receptacles do
get wet, DO NOT unplug the cord. Disconnect the
fuse to the circuit breaker that supplies power to
the appliance. Then unplug and examine for the
presence of water in the receptacle.
2. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance
is used by or near children.
3. To avoid injury, do not contact moving parts or hot
parts such as heaters, reflectors, lamp bulbs, etc.
4. Always unplug an appliance from the outlet when
not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and
before cleaning. Never yank the cord to pull plug from
the outlet. Grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.
5. Do not use an appliance for other than intended use.
The use of attachments not recommended or sold
by the appliance manufacturer may cause an
unsafe condition.
6. Do not install or store the appliance where it will
be exposed to the weather or to temperatures
below freezing (32oF/0oC).
7. Make sure an appliance mounted on a tank is
securely installed before operating it.
8. Read and observe all the important notices on
the appliance.
9. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a
proper rating should be used. A cord rated for less
amperes or watts than the appliance rating may
overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the
cord so that it will not be tripped over or pulled
from outlet.
10. ONLY FOR POLARIZED ATTACHMENT PLUG
APPLIANCES: If this appliance has a polarized plug
(one blade is wider than the other) as a safety feature,
this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way.
If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
Never use with an extension cord unless plug can
be fully inserted. Do not attempt to defeat this
safety feature.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed including the following:
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER: To avoid possible electric shock, special care should be taken since water is employed in the use of
aquarium equipment. For each of the following situations, do not attempt to repair yourself; return the appliance to
an authorized service facility for service or discard the appliance.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Caution: Before installing or operating the heater, read and
understand all safety instructions and warnings.
Ready-Set Heaters come with suction cups pre-attached
for simple installation.
Ready-Set Heaters are preset to maintain the aquarium
water temperature at 78°F +
-
2°F, so no temperature
adjustment is required.
setup GuIde
Place the heater
into the aquarium
Install the heater into the aquarium after it has
been filled with water. The heater is fully submersible
and may be installed either vertically or horizontally.
The heater must be installed so that water in the aquarium
is above the minimum water line marked on the heater.
The water level must be maintained to stay above this
line.
See Figure 2.
Plug the heater into
the electrical outlet
Let the heater sit submerged in the aquarium
for 30 minutes before plugging it in, so that it can adjust
to the water temperature. Plug the heater into the
electrical outlet and it will begin operating. The red LED
operating light will illuminate indicating that the heater
is heating, and will turn green when the water has
reached the set temperature.
Monitor the aquarium
water temperature
Always use a reliable aquarium thermometer
in combination with any heater to double check the water
temperature. After the heater has run for 24 hours, check
the water temperature using a thermometer. To ensure
proper temperature maintenance only use the heater in
the aquarium size specified for its wattage. The heater
should be placed in an area with good water flow. Use an
aquarium hood or cover to prevent excessive heat loss.

If you experience problems with the heater, please
read through the Troubleshooting section below before
contacting customer service.
Make sure the heater has been plugged in and operating
for at least 24 hours.
If the aquarium water temperature is lower than required
(make sure you are checking the water temperature with
an accurate thermometer), proceed as follows:
lMake sure that the heater is plugged in and
is receiving power.
lMake sure the heater is being used in an aquarium
that is within the suggested range as shown in the
Aquarium Heater Guide for its wattage.
lMake sure the water circulation around the heater
is adequate.
lMake sure that the heater is properly submerged at
least to the minimum water line marked on the heater.
lUsing an aquarium hood or cover over the aquarium
will prevent excessive heat loss and help maintain
the water temperature.
lMake sure the heater is not covered with an excessive
amount of algae, calcium deposit, or lime scale.
Unplug the heater, allow it to cool for 30 minutes,
and clean it if necessary.
If the aquarium water temperature is higher than required
(make sure you are checking the water temperature with
an accurate thermometer), proceed as follows:
lIf the ambient (room) temperature exceeds 78°F
(such as during the summer), it is recommended to
remove the heater.
lMake sure the aquarium is filled to the proper level.
If the water volume in the aquarium is low so that it
no longer falls within the suggested range shown in
the Aquarium Heater Guide, add water immediately.
Troubleshooting
Caution: Make sure the heater is unplugged whenever
the aquarium is being serviced, including but not
limited to performing water changes.
Caution: Always unplug the heater and allow it to
cool for at least 30 minutes before repositioning it,
removing it from the aquarium, or exposing it to air.
Never expose the heater to air while it is plugged in.
