Always disconnect all devices located in the water from the power supply before placing your hands in the aquarium water.
The mains plug must be accessible at all times after installing the device.
All cables leading out of the aquarium and the mains leads of the employed devices must be provided with a drip loop to prevent any water which may run down the cables from reaching equipment or the mains socket outlet.
Equipment with a damaged connecting lead must no longer be used. A damaged connecting lead cannot be replaced.
Maximum permissible immersion depth: 50 cm
Maximum permissible water temperature: 35 °C

1 Scope of Delivery and Description of Components

1 Pump housing

2 Filter housing (two-part), with filter element (Corner filter XL: 2 filter elements)

3 Setting knob for water flow rate

4 Outflow pipe, rotatable by 90°

5 Nozzle tube with cleaning hatch

6 Connector

7 Elbow

8 Sponge (2 pieces)

9 Cleaning brush for nozzle tube

2 Installation

Prior to use, remove filter housing and rinse all parts with warm water.
Fit filter in the desired corner of the aquarium using the suction clips.
Depending on the intended purpose, the filter should be positioned as follows:

2.1 For plant aquaria with CO2 supply: Nozzle tube under the water surface, relatively weak flow rate. This results in only gentle movement of the water surface, thus avoiding unnecessary losses of CO2. The plants produce the vital oxygen.
2.2 For breeding and temporary storage aquaria: Nozzle tube above water, stronger flow of water. In this way, sufficient oxygen is supplied to the aquarium.
2.3 For paludaria: Place filter in horizontal position in the water area. Secure nozzle tube with elbow.

Where necessary, the space between the filter and the corner of the aquarium can be closed off with the two sponges, in order to keep out fish and other creatures which live in the aquarium.
The filter should be positioned at least 2 cm away from the substrate so that the pump is not damaged by any gravel that is sucked in.
The pump should never be allowed to run dry – this could damage the motor engine and bearing.

3 Cleaning and Replacing the Filter Elements

The filter elements should be cleaned every 2-6 weeks, depending on the level of contamination:

Disconnect the mains plug.
Remove filter from the aquarium. Remove filter housing by pulling it downwards.
Pull filter housing apart, remove filter elements and wash out carefully – ideally in a clean bucket containing aquarium water, so as to avoid harming the important filtering bacteria.
In order to maintain a high level of filter performance, the filter element should be replaced every 3-6 months. Replacement filter elements: Art. no. 5926.
Corner filter XL: We recommend cleaning and replacing the two filter elements one by one. In this way, one filter element will remain biologically active, ensuring a constantly high level of water quality.

4 Cleaning the Pump, Setting Knob and Nozzle Tube

Remove filter housing.
Remove cover cap, pull out rotor and clean all parts carefully – avoid bending the rotor axle!
Pull setting knob upwards to remove for cleaning purposes.
Clean the nozzle tube by means of the integrated slide, clean nozzles with mini-brush.
