Next, lay the white filter pad on the top filter insert so that it is placed on the pushed-in handle.
Attention:

Prefilter

Function: The prefilter collects coarse dirt from the aquarium water so that the water that flows
through the filter inserts has been pre-filtered. This substantially reduces the amount of dirt that
reaches the filter inserts and guarantees highly efficient biological decomposition of pollutants
and a long service life. The prefilter can easily be removed. To make interim cleaning even
easier, the scope of delivery includes a dish for transporting the prefilter.
15
Insert prefilter with blue filter pad in the filter container so that that the overflow area is
above the partition.
Note:
The priming system only functions when the prefilter is empty.
