Important Safety Instructions
WARNING: Failure to follow these instructions may result in the loss of fish and/or damage to the appliance.
WARNING: Special care must be taken as water is involved. Do not attempt self-repair. Return the appliance to an authorized service facility or discard it.
- Caution: If the appliance shows signs of water leakage, unplug it immediately.
- Examine the appliance after installation. Do not plug it in if water is on non-intended parts. Maximum operating depth is 1m (3ft).
- Do not operate if the cord or plug is damaged, or if it malfunctions or has been dropped.
- To prevent the plug or receptacle from getting wet, position the aquarium and outlet to prevent water dripping. Arrange a "drip-loop" (fig. 1) for the power cord. If the plug or socket gets wet, do not unplug. Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker first, then unplug and examine.
- This appliance is not intended for use by persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless supervised. Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.
- Do not touch hot parts to avoid injury.
- Always unplug the appliance when not in use, before putting on/taking off parts, and before cleaning. Grasp the plug to disconnect, do not pull the cord.
- This is an aquarium heater. Do not use for other purposes (e.g., swimming pools, garden ponds, bathrooms). Use of non-recommended attachments may cause unsafe conditions.
- Suitable for indoor use only. Do not install or store where exposed to weather or freezing temperatures.
- Ensure the appliance is securely mounted before operating.
- If using an extension cord, ensure it has a proper rating to avoid overheating. Arrange the cord to prevent tripping.
- The power cord cannot be replaced. If damaged, the appliance must be discarded. Never cut the cord.
- (For North America only) This appliance has a polarized plug. If it does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. Contact a qualified electrician if it still does not fit. Never use with an extension cord unless the plug can be fully inserted. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
Caution: The heater must never be operated outside of water.

Operating Instructions
- Warning: Turn off and disconnect all appliances inside the aquarium before installation or maintenance.
- Check the voltage on the heater label to ensure it matches your main power supply.
- Attach the suction cups to the heater.
- Place the heater in the aquarium where there is good water circulation, preferably near a water movement source for proper distribution of heated water.
- DO NOT PLUG THE HEATER INTO THE MAIN SUPPLY UNIT UNTIL IT IS IN WATER.
- Ensure the heater remains submerged at all times.
- To select the correct wattage, consider the aquarium's capacity, room temperature, and desired temperature increase (indicated as Tº in Table 1).
The LED on the heater indicates its status:
- LED ON: Heater in operation
- LED OFF: Thermal protection activated
The JOLLY heater increases water temperature according to Table 1, up to a maximum of +4°C / 40°F. When removed from water or when the set temperature is reached, thermal protection will automatically switch it off after a few minutes. For safety, regularly check water temperature with a precise thermometer.
Unplug the heater and let it cool for at least 15 minutes before removing it from the water.
Maintenance
The heater requires minimal maintenance, only periodic cleaning of the tube to remove salt incrustations and algae. Use only water and vinegar for cleaning. Do not use chemical cleaners, solvents, or acids.
Attention: Do not disassemble the heater or pull the power supply cable.
