Caution:
Before installing or operating the heater, read and
understand all safety instructions and warnings.
Ready-Set Heaters come with suction cups pre-attached
for simple installation.
Ready-Set Heaters are preset to maintain the aquarium
water temperature at 78°F +-2°F, so no temperature
adjustment is required.
setup GuIde
Place the heater
into the aquarium
Install the heater into the aquarium after it has
been filled with water. The heater is fully submersible
and may be installed either vertically or horizontally.
The heater must be installed so that water in the aquarium
is
above the minimum water line
marked on the heater.
The water level
must be maintained
to stay above this
line.
See Figure 2.
Plug the heater into
the electrical outlet
Let the heater sit submerged in the aquarium
for 30 minutes before plugging it in, so that it can adjust
to the water temperature. Plug the heater into the
electrical outlet and it will begin operating. The red LED
operating light will illuminate indicating that the heater
is heating, and will turn green when the water has
reached the set temperature.
Monitor the aquarium
water temperature
Always use a reliable aquarium thermometer
in combination with any heater to double check the water
temperature. After the heater has run for 24 hours, check
the water temperature using a thermometer. To ensure
proper temperature maintenance only use the heater in
the aquarium size specified for its wattage. The heater
should be placed in an area with good water flow. Use an
aquarium hood or cover to prevent excessive heat loss.
