Safety
Risks for persons and property can arise from this appliance if the appliance is im-
properly used or not used as intended or if the safety instructions are not heeded.
For your safety
‧ Do not let the appliance packaging and small parts get into the hands of
children or people who are unaware of how to handle them, as hazards can
arise (danger of suffocation!). Keep away from animals.
‧ This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they are under the supervision of someone responsible
for their safety or have received instruction on usage of the appliance from
said person. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play
with the appliance.
‧ Only for European markets:
This appliance can be used by children from the age of 3 and by persons with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and/or
knowledge if they are supervised and have been instructed in the safe use of
the appliance and have understood the resulting dangers. Children must not
play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance must not be carried
out by children unless they are supervised.
‧ Before use, carry out a visual inspection to ensure that the appliance,
especially the mains cable and plug, are undamaged. Make sure that the glass
body of the heating rod is not broken or cracked.
‧ Before commissioning, the appliance must be immersed to the MIN. WATER
LEVEL marking underneath the water, and no less. The appliance must never
be operated out of water.
‧ After disconnection from the mains, the appliance must be left in the water for
30 minutes in order to cool down.
‧ A hot appliance must never be placed on heat-sensitive surfaces!
‧ Repairs must only be carried out by an EHEIM service centre.
‧ The mains cable of this appliance cannot be replaced. If the cable is damaged,
the appliance must be scrapped.
‧ Only carry out the work described in these instructions.
‧ Never make technical modifications to the appliance.
‧ Only use original spare parts and accessories for the appliance.
‧ We recommend protecting all electrical aquarium appliances via a residual
current protective device with a rated residual current of 30 mA maximum.
‧ If they are not being used, always disconnect all devices in the aquarium from
the power supply before you install/remove any parts and before all cleaning
and maintenance work.
‧ Protect the mains socket and mains plug against
moisture and wetness. A drip loop must be
formed with the mains cable.
This prevents any water running along the cable
to the mains socket, which would result in a
short-circuit.
‧ The electrical data of the appliance must match
the data of the power mains. This data is found on the type plate, the packag -
ing and in these instructions.
‧ Danger of burning! The appliance is very hot during and directly after opera-
tion. Never touch hot parts or the heating zone!
