outlet getting wet, position the
appliance to one side of a wall
mounted outlet to prevent water
from dripping onto the outlet
or plug. A "drip-loop" (see ill 1)
should be arranged. The "drip-
loop" is that part of the cord
below the level of the outlet, or the connector if an extension
cord is used, to prevent water from traveling along the cord and
coming in contact with the outlet. If the plug or outlet does
get wet, DON'T unplug the electrical cord. Disconnect the fuse
or circuit breaker that supplies power to the appliance, then
unplug and examine for presence of water in the outlet.

13. (For North America only) This appliance has a polarized plug
(one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug
will fi t in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not

fi t fully into the outlet, contact a qualifi ed electrician to inspect
the outlet and make the needed alterations. Never use with
an extension cord unless the plug can be fully inserted. Do not

The Fluval compact aquarium heater is an automatic, submersible heater for
use in indoor aquariums. Without any adjustments needed, it is designed to
reach and maintain the set temperature of 26ºC (78ºF). The red indicator light
will illuminate when the heater is in use, and the heater will automatically shut

off when the water temperature reaches 26ºC (78ºF). The exterior is made of
a tough polymer so that it will not crack or break like traditional glass sleeve
heaters.
INSTALLATION
Generally, the heater should be placed
at the rear of the aquarium, preferably
close to a source of water movement to
ensure even and thorough distribution
of warmed water.

3. Allow heater to acclimatize to the aquarium water temperature for
10 minutes before plugging it into the electrical outlet.

HEATER PERFORMANCE VARIABLES
This heater was designed to reach and maintain the set temperature of 26ºC
(78ºF), provided that the maximum diff erence between the ambient and set
temperature is less than 5ºC (9ºF). Variables such as lower room temperature,
wide temperature fl uctuations, lack of an aquarium cover, presence of pumps
and fi lters or aquarium placement in proximity to cooling sources may require a
higher wattage for proper control for the given tank size. If the set temperature
is not reached in all conditions, it will probably be necessary to increase the
, e s
f e b
e r o
heating power.
We recommend monitoring aquarium temperature on a regular basis with a
reliable aquarium thermometer.
MAINTENANCE
