3. Setup

3.1 Unpacking

1. Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
2. Check for any damage during transit. If any damage is found, do not proceed with setup and contact customer support.
3. Ensure all parts are present: fountain body, pump, power adapter, and instruction manual.

3.2 Placement

• Choose a level and stable surface to prevent the fountain from tipping over.
• For outdoor use, select a location near a weather-protected power outlet. Ensure the 10-meter power cable can reach without tension.

3.3 Assembly and Filling

1. Place the pump inside the designated compartment within the fountain basin.
2. Connect the pump's outlet nozzle to the water tube inside the fountain. Ensure a secure connection.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Initial Start-up

1. After ensuring the fountain is properly assembled and filled with water, plug the power adapter into a suitable electrical outlet.
2. The pump will start circulating water, and the LED lights will illuminate automatically.
3. Allow a few moments for the water to circulate and for any trapped air to escape from the pump.

4.2 Daily Operation

• Regularly check the water level. Due to evaporation, especially outdoors or in dry indoor environments, water levels will decrease.
• Refill with clean, distilled water as needed to ensure the pump remains fully submerged. Operating the pump dry will cause damage and void the warranty.
• To turn off the fountain, simply unplug the power adapter from the electrical outlet.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Blumfeldt Arcadia Garden Fountain.

5.1 Cleaning the Fountain

1. Disconnect Power: Always unplug the fountain before cleaning.
2. Drain Water: Empty the water from the basin.
3. Clean Surfaces: Use a soft cloth or sponge with mild soap and water to clean the polyresin surfaces. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the material.
4. Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse all components with clean water to remove any soap residue.
5. Refill: Refill the fountain with clean, distilled water.

5.2 Cleaning the Pump

The pump should be cleaned periodically (e.g., monthly) to prevent blockages and maintain efficient water flow.

1. Disconnect Power: Unplug the fountain.
2. Remove Pump: Carefully remove the pump from the fountain basin.
3. Disassemble Pump: Open the pump casing (refer to pump instructions if available) and remove the impeller.
4. Clean Components: Use a small brush (like a toothbrush) and clean water to remove any debris, algae, or mineral deposits from the impeller and pump housing.
5. Reassemble and Reinstall: Reassemble the pump and place it back into the fountain.

5.3 Winterization (Outdoor Use)

Although the fountain is frost-resistant, it is recommended to prepare it for winter in regions with freezing temperatures to ensure its longevity.

1. Disconnect Power: Unplug the fountain.
2. Drain Water: Completely drain all water from the basin and tubes.
3. Remove Pump: Remove the pump and store it in a frost-free location, ideally submerged in a bucket of water to keep seals moist.
4. Cover or Store: If possible, move the fountain indoors for winter storage. If it must remain outdoors, cover it with a breathable, waterproof cover to protect it from snow and ice accumulation.
