clean them with tank water taken from the tank
Do not place the filter media in nets or nylon
stockings. Doing so may cause clogging, which in
turn may block the water flow
Check whether the hoses are connected properly
Leaving the power on, shake the unit to help
remove remaining air
Apply ample vaseline to all of the O-rings
Press the "start" button and repeat procedure from
the beginning
Ensure that the top of the motor is at least 10cm
below water level (see recommendations)
Remove and replace the plug in the socket 3-4
times Gently shake the filter to remove remaining air
Please consult place of purchase
Due to breathing of bacteria and photosynthesis of
water plants, air bubbles may accumulate and
sounds of it being let out from the Tetra EX
Filter may be heard. Corrective measures are not
necessary.
The motor is cooled by water hence if water in the
drive system is dirty or dirt is allowed to accumulate,
water flow will be inhibited and life of the motor will
be decreased. Periodically clean the impeller/drive
magnet and the surrounding area under warm water.
Do not press the "start" button or put anything on
top of it while the filter is running
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction

responsible for their safety. Children should be
supervised to ensure that they do not play with
the appliance.
