Proper installation is crucial for the efficient and safe operation of your Superfish Smart Heater.

Installation Steps:

1. Unpack: Carefully remove the heater from its packaging. Inspect for any visible damage.
2. Placement: Position the heater vertically or horizontally within your aquarium, ensuring it is fully submerged. Choose a location with good water circulation to ensure even heat distribution. Avoid placing it directly in the substrate or against the glass where water flow is restricted.
3. Mounting: Use the included suction cups to securely attach the heater to the inside wall of your aquarium.
4. Power Connection: Once the heater is securely installed and fully submerged, connect the power plug to a suitable electrical outlet. Ensure your hands are dry when handling the plug.
5. Initial Stabilization: Allow the heater to acclimate to the aquarium water temperature for at least 15-20 minutes before setting the desired temperature.

Setting the Temperature:

• Upon plugging in, the digital display will show the current water temperature in your aquarium.
• To set the desired temperature, press the button located on the top of the heater. Each press will cycle through the available temperature settings (17°C to 34°C).
• Once you reach your desired temperature, stop pressing the button. The display will flash a few times to confirm the setting, then revert to showing the current water temperature.
• The heater will automatically begin heating the water if the current temperature is below the set temperature. The display will indicate when heating is active.
• The precise and reliable thermostat will maintain a constant water temperature within the set range.
