Setup Instructions
- Unpack: Carefully remove the heater and all accessories from the packaging. Inspect for any damage.
- Attach Suction Cups: Securely attach the three suction cups to the back of the heater unit.
- Position Heater: Place the heater fully submerged in your aquarium. Ensure it is positioned vertically or horizontally in an area with good water circulation. Avoid placing it directly in the substrate or near strong currents that could expose it to air.
- Install Thermometer Sticker: Affix the thermometer sticker to the outside of the aquarium glass, away from direct sunlight, for an additional reference of water temperature.
- Ensure Water Circulation: For optimal performance and even heating, ensure adequate water circulation in your tank. This can be achieved by using a water pump or filter.
- Connect Power: Once the heater is fully submerged and positioned, plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet.
Operating Instructions
- Power On: After plugging in the heater, the digital display on the heater unit will show the current water temperature. The power indicator light on the external controller will illuminate.
- View Set Temperature: Press the 'SET' button on the external controller once. The digital display on the heater will flash, showing the currently set temperature.
- Set Desired Temperature: While the set temperature is flashing, press the 'SET' button repeatedly to cycle through the available temperature settings (20°C to 34°C). Stop pressing when your desired temperature is displayed. The heater will automatically save the setting after a few seconds of inactivity.
- Heating Indication: When the heater is actively heating, a red heating indicator light will be visible on the heater unit. Once the set temperature is reached, the heater will automatically stop heating, and the indicator light will turn off. It will resume heating if the water temperature drops below the set point.
Safety Precautions
- Always ensure the heater is fully submerged in water before plugging it in and during operation.
- Do not operate the heater if the power cord or plug is damaged.
- Before performing any maintenance on the aquarium (e.g., water changes, cleaning), always unplug the heater and allow it to cool for at least 15 minutes.
- The heater is equipped with an automatic shut-off feature if it detects being out of water or if the temperature exceeds 34°C. However, continuous monitoring is recommended.

- Inspection: Regularly inspect the power cord and heater unit for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage. If any damage is found, discontinue use immediately.
- Water Changes: Always unplug the heater before performing water changes to prevent it from operating out of water.
