IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed including the following:

READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. 
   To avoid possible electric shock, special care should be taken since water is employed in the use of aquarium equipment. Follow these safety instructions carefully.
2. All aquarium appliances must be disconnected from the main power supply before servicing an aquarium or conducting any activity that allows direct contact with the water.
   
   Disconnect the power from all aquarium appliances before putting hands into the aquarium.
3. Do not operate any aquarium appliance which malfunctions or is damaged inany way. The power cord of this appliance cannot be replaced. If the electrical cord or plug is damaged, discard the appliance.
4. 
   The motor has no user serviceable parts. Do not attempt repairs yourself; return the appliance to an authorized service facility for service or discard the appliance.
5. To avoid the possibility of the appliance or socket getting wet, position theaquarium to one side of a wall-mounted socket preventing water from dripping onto the socket or plug.
6. 
   Use a drip loop. A "drip loop" should be arranged by the user for each cord connecting an aquarium appliance to a socket. The "drip loop" is that part of the electrical cord below the level of the socket (or the connector if an extension cord is used) to prevent water from traveling along the cord and coming in contact with the socket.
   
   If the plug or socket does get wet, DO NOT unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies power to the appliance. Then unplug and examine for the presence of water in the socket.
7. 
   To prevent electric shock, supply electrical power through a wall mounted Residual Current Device (GFI-Ground Fault Current Interrupter) with a residual operating current not exceeding 30mA. If the appliance shows any sign of current leakage or if the GFI switches off, disconnect the power supply from mains and remove the appliance from the water.
8. 
   Do not permit children to use this appliance unless they are closely supervised by an adult at all times.
9. 
   Do not use an appliance for other than its intended use. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition.
10. 
    Do not immerse this appliance deeper than 1 meter or 40 inches.
11. 
    Do not operate this appliance out of water. Always unplug an appliance when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning. Never yank cord to pull plug from socket. Grasp the plug and pull to disconnect.
12. Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to the weather or to temperatures below freezing.
13. Make sure the appliance is securely installed before operating it.
14. Read and observe all the important notices on the appliance.
15. If an extension cord is necessary, an electrical cord with a proper rating should be used. An electrical cord rated for less amperes or watts than the appliance rating may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it will not be tripped over or pulled.
16. 
    To prevent corrosion or deterioration of materials that could lead to electrical shock, use only with fresh water.

INSTALLATION and OPERATION

Disconnect the electrical plug of all appliances inside the aquarium before putting hands into the water.

Elite Jet-Flo installation

It is recommended that the sponge pad is rinsed before the first installation.

1. Place the filter in the aquarium using the suction cups, ensuring that the horizontal water outlet is at a minimum of 1 cm below the water surface.
2. Plug into power source.

Underwater filter are equipped with a venturi system

1. Connect the airline hose to the output adapter as shown in.
   
2. Affix the hose clip to the power cord to ensure that the venturi stays out of the water.
   
3. If desired the hose can be cut back for a tailored fit.

Spray Bar Assembly

The spray bar assembly is ideal to use when added aeration is desired. Position spray bar output right above the surface of water, this will create surface agitation and aid in the exchange of gases.

Installation

Remove the output nozzle and replace with the spray bar assembly. The kit comes with two spray bars, use one or both depending on the application. Mounting the spray bar to the side of your aquarium or along the back.

FILTER MAINTENANCE

Disconnect the electrical plug of all appliances inside the aquarium before putting hands in the water.

We recommend cleaning the filter sponge, magnetic impeller and impeller well (where the magnetic impeller is located) at least once a month and dose with Nutrafin Cycle to restore beneficial bacteria. The filter sponge should be replaced every 2 months to ensure proper functioning of the pump.

Maintenance and replacement

1. Slowly remove the filter from the aquarium.
   
2. Remove the bottom half of filter.
3. Remove ZeoCarb cartridge. Rinse** or replace.
   
4. Remove the sponge pad. Rinse* or replace.
   
5. Remove impeller cover.
   
6. Grasp the blades of the impeller fan and pull out the impeller.
   
7. Rinse off any slimy buildup that has accumulated on themagnetic impeller and in the impeller well and reassemble.
   
8. Once all parts are cleaned or replaced, reassemble the filterand install in the aquarium.

*Do not rinse the sponge pad directly in the aquarium. Transfer a small quantityof water from the aquarium into a bucket using a siphon. After rinsing, put the sponge back in the filter intake and reassemble.

** The Zeo Carb Cartridge should be cleaned every two weeks and replaced monthly. (Never replace all filter inserts at the same time in order to ensure constant presence of beneficial bacteria.)
