Preliminary Warnings - Ferplast CAPRI Manuel D'utilisation

CAPRI AQUARIUMS

Preliminary warnings

• Ensure that the voltage shown on the all electrical components corresponds to that of your home electrical power
supply.
• The aquarium is intended only for indoor use.
• Before switching on make sure your home is protected by an automatic safety breaker switch (or individual breaker plug)
with an operating current of no more than 30 mA.
• Do not connect the aquarium to the power supply before correctly completing all the installation procedures, including
filling with water.
• Always disconnect all appliances from the electric power supply before carrying out any maintenance.
• Remember that the protection of the lights from water and dust is guaranteed only when the fluorescent tubes are
correctly inserted and the ring nuts perfectly tightened.
• The light must never be submerged.
• The power cable has Y-type wiring, so if damaged it must be replaced by a qualified electrician.
• All special maintenance work must be carried out by a qualified electrician.
'Special maintenance' means any kind of work not included in the paragraph 'Maintaining the CAPRI aquarium' and
'Maintaining the BLUWAVE filter'. 'Qualified electrician' means any qualified member of the register of installer.
• Never remove the heater (if present) from the water when it is connected to the electric power supply. Before removing
the heater, disconnect it and leave it to cool inside its housing for at least 5 minutes.
• Check that the filter intake grilles are not blocked.
• Always ensure that the water level stays above the minimum level and below the maximum; both are marked on the front
of the BLUWAVE filter. Remember that the water level should always be between the MIN and MAX levels, both shown on
the front of the BLUWAVE filter and always at 1.5 cm distance from the lamp.
IMPORTANT
• do not damage the silicone cord with scissors, pliers, brushes or scrapers;
• do not use detergents, solvents or chemical products (descaler, ammonium-based products, etc.)
to clean the glass, as they could damage the silicone, causing it to become detached (possibly some time later);
• do not use adhesives or adhesive tape near the silicone when applying backgrounds.
Moreover, you should always use a spirit level to make sure that the aquarium is placed on a perfectly fl at surface in both
directions (length and depth), so as not to break the glass or damage the silicone.
Positioning the CAPRI aquarium
• The aquarium should be placed on a solid flat base with a smooth even surface.
• Position the aquarium in a protected area not exposed to direct sunlight (which could
cause overheating and a proliferation of algae), away from sources of heat (e.g. heating
radiators), cold air and drafts.
• Position the aquarium away from electrical equipment that could be wet by splashes of
water.
• Connect the plugs to your electric power supply leaving a loop in the cable below the
electrical socket to prevent drops of water running down the cable and into the power
supply (8).
Setting up the CAPRI aquarium
1 Position the internal BLUWAVE filter inside the tank in the preferred position (sideways or backwards) using the special
suckers or some silicone (we recommend using BLU 9015 silicone by Ferplast).
2 Ensure that the ring nuts on the lights are tightened.
3 Insert the starter into the special compartment rotating it a quarter turn and screw hard the cap together with its gasket,
making sure that it queezes along the cap rim (10).
IMPORTANT
• Do not connect the plug before inserting the starter and screwing the cap.
• Do not put the top cover onto the tank full with water before inserting the starter and screwing down the cap,
in order to prevent water drops or condensation from entering into the power compartement.
