2. Safety Information

Please read all safety warnings carefully before use to prevent injury or damage to the product and your aquarium.

• The heater must be completely immersed in water during operation. It cannot be used if any part of it is touching the surface of the water. Operating the heater out of water can cause damage and is a fire hazard.
• If the power plug is damaged or the heater itself is compromised, do not attempt to repair it. Discard the unit and replace it.
• The heater should not be buried in sand or substrate. This can impede heat dissipation and lead to overheating.
• Before cleaning the fish tank or performing any maintenance, always unplug the heater and wait at least 10 minutes for it to cool down.
• This product requires a leak protection device (e.g., GFCI outlet) for safe operation.
• Keep this product out of the reach of children.
• If the product emits smoke, unusual sounds, or if water leaks into the heater, immediately cut off the power supply and discontinue use.

4. Setup

Follow these steps to properly set up your JULIAQUA Aquarium Heater:

1. Unpack: Carefully remove the heater and all components from the packaging.
2. Placement: Install the heater inside your aquarium. For optimal and even heat distribution, place the heater near the water outlet or filter flow. This ensures that heated water is circulated throughout the tank.
3. Submersion: Ensure the heater is fully submerged in water. The heater can be placed horizontally or vertically, but it must be completely covered by water to function correctly and safely.
4. Secure: Use the included suction cups to firmly attach the heater to the inside wall of your aquarium.
5. Connect Power: Once the heater is securely placed and fully submerged, connect the power plug to a suitable electrical outlet, preferably one with a leak protection device (GFCI).

5. Operating Instructions

Operating your JULIAQUA Aquarium Heater is straightforward:

1. Power On: After proper installation and submersion, plug the heater into a power outlet. The digital display on the heater will light up, showing the current water temperature.
2. Set Temperature: Use the 'SET' button on the external controller to adjust the desired temperature. Each press of the button will cycle through the available temperature settings (68°F–95°F / 20°C–35°C). Stop pressing when your desired temperature is displayed.
3. Automatic Operation: The heater will automatically begin heating the water until it reaches the set temperature. Once the target temperature is achieved, the heater will enter standby mode and only activate again if the water temperature drops below the set point.
4. Monitoring: Regularly check the digital display to monitor the water temperature and ensure it remains stable.
