6. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
WARNING
To avoid electric risk:
Disconnect the plugs of the electric devices from the
outlets before handling the product and/or immersing
the hands in water.
Never pull the cable of the electric devices to discon-
nect the plugs from the outlets. To disconnect them,
grab the plugs and pull them.
Do not connect the electric devices of the product to
the mains before having completed the installation or
having repositioned the same after maintenance op-
erations. Do not use the thermal heater and the pump
dry.
To avoid the risk of burns:
After disconnecting the plug, let the hot parts of the
thermal heater (about 30 minutes) and of the lighting
unit (about 5 minutes) cool down, before handling
them. On the thermal heater, the warning light indi-
cates only that the heating phase is active. When the
warning light is off, it does not mean that the thermal
heater is cool.
Check that the water level is always included in the
min. and max. level range indicated on the label.
After maintenance operations, if necessary, restore
the proper water level.
Do not use detergents or other chemical products
which may damage the product's components or con-
taminate the aquarium itself.
CAUTION
Always close the filter cover after the necessary oper-
ations have been performed, to prevent algae growing
on the filters due to their exposure to direct light.
CAUTION
Perform a frequent and accurate cleaning (at least
once every 15 days) of parts affected by the salt
condensate. To remove the salt scaling that is most
difficult to clean, mere lemon juice can be used. Then
rinse thoroughly to remove any acid residues.

6.2. Rolling Filtration System
To keep the filters working properly and ensure the best water con-
ditions in the aquarium, Askoll recommends that you replace the
sponges and cartridges according to a specific maintenance sched-
ule, the Rolling Filtration System (RFS).
This can be done quite easily by purchasing the original Askoll
PURE MARINE FILTER MEDIA KIT maintenance kit from your trust-
worthy retailer (see product code under
chapter 9). The Kit contains
1 sponge for mechanical filtration, 1 CARBON cartridge and 1 ZEO
cartridge.
Replace the sponges and cartridges as follows:
1) After disconnecting the plug of each electric device, open the
filter cover.
