Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the heater's performance and safety. Please follow these steps carefully:
- Choose Location: Select a location in your aquarium where water circulation is good, preferably near a filter outlet or water pump. This ensures even heat distribution. The heater should be fully submerged during operation.
? Tip: Avoid placing the heater directly on the substrate or in areas with stagnant water. - Mounting: Use the included suction cups to attach the heater vertically or horizontally to the aquarium glass. Ensure the heater is securely fixed.
[Diagram Description: A visual representation shows the heater unit with suction cups attached to the aquarium glass. The heater is positioned vertically, with the power cord extending upwards. The thermostat dial is visible above the water line.]
- Water Circulation: Ensure the aquarium water level is above the minimum water line indicated on the heater.
⚠️ Warning: Never operate the heater if it is not fully submerged. - Connect Power: Plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet. Do not plug in until the heater is fully submerged and installed.
Operation
Setting the desired temperature is simple:
- Adjust Temperature: Rotate the temperature adjustment dial located on the top of the heater. The dial typically has markings indicating temperature settings (e.g., 20°C, 22°C, 24°C, 26°C, 28°C).
⚙️ Setting: Rotate clockwise to increase temperature, counter-clockwise to decrease. - Indicator Light: An indicator light on the heater will illuminate when the heater is actively heating the water. The light will turn off when the set temperature is reached.
- Monitoring: It is recommended to use a separate aquarium thermometer to verify the water temperature and ensure it matches the heater's setting.
Safety Precautions
- ⚠️ Electrical Safety: Always unplug the heater from the power outlet before performing any maintenance, cleaning, or water changes.
- ⚠️ Submersion: The heater is designed for submersible use only. Never operate it out of water.
- ⚠️ Water Level: Ensure the water level remains above the minimum mark on the heater at all times.
- ⚠️ Power Cord: Inspect the power cord regularly for any signs of damage. If damaged, discontinue use immediately and contact the manufacturer or a qualified technician.
- ⚠️ Children: Keep out of reach of children.
- ⚠️ Cooling Down: Allow the heater to cool down completely before removing it from the water to prevent thermal shock or burns.
