Function description
 B
Path of the water: Drawn in by a pump into the pump unit,
the water flows through the filter modules, arranged
above each other in stages to form the filter unit. Each filter
module is equipped with a foam filter and/or filter fleece (top
filter module). The water enters the filter module through the
inlet on the side and exits through the small flow‐out nozzles
or the central outlet, depending on the position of the outlet
control knob.
BioPlus Thermo: The water is heated by a heater on its way
through the filter unit.
Retrofitting
 C
By additionally purchasing an OASE heater HeatUp it is
possible to extend BioPlus to BioPlus Thermo. After removal
of the cap, insert the selected HeatUp (see following table),
which is suitable for the BioPlus and the size of the
aquarium, into the heater chamber. A rubber stopper secures
the heater.

INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
N O T E
Ensure that the pump never runs dry!
Possible consequences: The pump will be destroyed.
Protective measure: Regularly check the water level in
the aquarium.
N O T E
Thoroughly rinse out all filter material with warm tap
water before using for the first time in order to remove
any soiling. (→ Cleaning or replacing the filter media)

The supplied suction cups serve for fastening the unit
to a clean, smooth surface.
 Push the suction cups into the mounting holes of
the pump unit with a twisting movement.
– Pay attention to the alignment of the tab (it
should point upwards or to the side).
 Fasten the unit in a corner of the aquarium: Ensure
that the flow‐out nozzles are just below the surface
of the water.
COMMISSIONING/START‐UP
 E, B
 Route each power connection cable such that it
forms a drip loop.
 BioPlus Thermo: Adjust the temperature at the
thermo‐control heater HeatUp (separately enclosed
instructions).
Switching on: Connect the unit to the mains. The unit
switches on immediately. When the unit is plugged
in, it takes several minutes for the air to escape from
the unit (this makes a noise).
 Use the outlet control knob to determine which wa‐
ter outlet is used (central outlet or flow‐out noz‐
zles).
Switching off: Disconnect the unit from the mains.

Check the mains voltage.
