INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
Order of tasks to be carried out:
1. Fit the unit feet (→ Fitting the unit feed)
2. Prepare the filter media (→ Cleaning/replacing the
filter media)
3. As an option: OASE HeatUp Retrofitting (heater)
(→ Retrofitting the heater)
4. Install the unit.
– Install the unit next to or under the aquarium.
Note the maximum head height. (→ Technical
data)
5. Establish the connections (→ Establishing the con-
nections)
Fitting the unit feed

• Assemble the flow-out unit.
– The water distributor can be used instead of the
flow-out pipe.
Connecting the hose
O, P
The procedure is identical for the inlet (IN) and outlet
(OUT).
• Fasten the suction unit and flow-out unit in the
aquarium using suction cups.
COMMISSIONING/START-UP
For initial start-up or after thorough cleaning, it is nec-
essary to expel air from the filter system. When the
container, suction unit and hose are free of trapped
air, the pump can convey the water by itself through
the filter system. (→ Expelling air from the filter sys-
tem)
N O T E
Thoroughly rinse out all filter material with warm tap
water before using for the first time in order to remove
any soiling. (→ Cleaning/replacing the filter media)
Expelling air from the filter system
Prerequisite:
