V.f PUMPING CAPACITY REGULATION (MIR30/60 young-MF)
Typically, the pump capacity is adjusted to the maximum power. It is necessary to adjust the specific mechanism to verify or
change the performance (Fig. 14).
V.g AERATION SYSTEM (MIR30/60 young-MF)
If desired, it is possible to initiate the ventilation system built into the pump to improve oxygenation and gas exchange. To do
so, follow these simple steps:
• Open the bag contacting the ventilation system, assemble all the component parts of the pressure-regulating filter and connect
it to the elastic tube (Fig. 15).
• Open the AIR cap located under the pump and insert the elastic tube into the hole (Fig. 16).
• Set the desired air pressure, lock the mechanism and the connection tube to the special clamps located under the internal unit
cap (Fig. 17).
V.h SWITCHING ON THE AQUARIUM
1. Insert the plugs into the power sockets, carefully following the safety instructions given in Chapter I. From this point onwards,
the power supply cables should not be disconnected unless regular cleaning or maintenance operations are to be carried out.
2. Check that the various appliances are operating (in the event of a fault, see Chapter VII):
• Water should come out of the pump outlet;
• When the lights buttons are pressed, they should switch on.
3. Proceed with adding any fish according to your own experience and complying with the “good practice” regulations for
aquariums.
VI. OPERATING AND CLEANING
EVERY WEEK:
a. Clean the inside of the aquarium glass panels with a magnetic brush (not included) to remove the patina of algae (Fig. 8).
b. Clean the LED lighting system protection with a sponge or a wet cloth (Fig. 9).
c. Check the water level. If it is too low, top it up to the required level with water at about the same temperature as the water in
the aquarium.
d. Check the water temperature using the immersion thermometer provided.
EVERY MONTH:
a. Replace the carbon filter by choosing from those available in the “NEWA AQUA media filter” range.
EVERY 3 MONTHS:
a. Rinse the foam cartridge using the aquarium water, so that the bacterial colonies are preserved.
b. Clean the bottom of the aquarium by gently sucking up any deposited sediment. It is advisable to use the NEWA Power Gravel
Cleaner gravel cleaning set. This operation should be done with great care in order not to uproot any plants or leave any roots
uncovered.
c. Remove any deposits from the rotor and the pump impeller.
CLEANING NEWA Mirafilter (NEWA Mirabello young-MF):
REPLACING THE FILTER CARTRIDGES
To maintain maximum performance of filters and ensure the best conditions for the water in your aquarium, it is advisable to
regularly replace the filter cartridges following the times specified in Chapter VI. The Mechanichem and Biofoam filter cartridges
are specifically designed to be replaced with the utmost ease, without having to stop the filter or get your hands wet.
To carry out this operation correctly, proceed as follows:
1. Open the lid of the filtering area and remove the filter cartridges that you want to replace, taking them by the special handle.
Dispose of them in compliance with the regulations in force in the country of disposal.
2. For the Mechanichem chemical filter cartridge: remove it from its packaging and insert the new filter cartridge into the
filtering department.
3. For the Biofoam biological filter: remove the sponge filter from its packaging and insert it in the support frame. Replace the
