Where To Position The Aquarium; Installing And Switching On The Aquarium; Cleaning The Tank; Installation Of Newa Mirafilter - Newa Mirabello MIR 40 Instructions And Warranty

The NEWA Mirabello aquarium has been packaged so that it can withstand normal knocks and pressures during transport.
However, excessive knocks or incorrect handling may cause damage to the aquarium therefore we recommend you follow these
warnings in order to check that the tank is watertight:
• Place the tank on a dry horizontal surface, on a layer of fabric sheeting or sheets of newspaper.
• Fill the tank with water and carefully check each side. Check that there are no leaks by wiping along the outer edges of the glass
panel couplings with a dry cloth (Fig. 3).
• If there are leaks, take the aquarium to the dealer so that it can be carefully checked or replaced.
WARNING: do not empty the aquarium by lifting or tilting it, as it may break! (Fig. 4).
IV. WHERE TO POSITION THE AQUARIUM
WARNING: carefully read and strictly follow these instructions.
a. Position the aquarium (tank and base) on a solid support, which is appropriate for bearing the maximum intended weight of
EN
the aquarium (see technical data), with a smooth, clean and level support surface.
b. Check that the support surface is perfectly horizontal; otherwise the water level in the aquarium will tilt.
c. Do not position the aquarium on tilting surfaces (Fig. 36).
d. Position the aquarium near at least a couple or Mirabello power sockets, following the safety instructions.
e. Position the aquarium away from sources of heat and cold draughts such as stoves, radiators, fireplaces and windows (Fig. 5).
f. Do not position the aquarium near a television, radio or other electrical appliances that should be protected from splashes of water.
WARNING: direct or diffused yet intense sunlight (rooms with many windows) encourage the hypertrophic growth of algae,
which can prevent the growth of plants higher up and jeopardise the biological balance of the aquarium. The correct amount of
light should only be provided by the lighting system in the aquarium.
V. INSTALLING AND SWITCHING ON THE AQUARIUM
V.a CLEANING THE TANK
Carefully clean the inside of the tank using a damp cloth and a clean sponge.
Do not use detergents or sponges that have come into contact with soap, solvents or other chemical substances.
V.b INSTALLATION OF NEWA MIRAFILTER
NEWA Mirabello 40:
Use special supports located on the upper frame to fix the filter (Fig. 6). . Lock the power cables of
the pump, of the LED lamp and of the heater in their specific cable ties on the lid. While holding the aquarium lid open firmly
with one hand, remove the cable passage protection cover by pulling it toward yourself (fig. 8). Extract the plugs and the power
cables. Insert the power cables into the cable ties on the aquarium lid. Reposition the previously removed protective cover.
NEWA Mirabello 70:
locate the place chosen to attach the filter, bearing in mind that it is possible to apply it on 2 sides of
the aquarium, excluding the front glass and the side of with sliding opening for feeding (fig. 7). Then hook the filter to the filter
supports in the upper frame (fig. 6). Lock the power cables of the pump, of the LED lamp and of the heater in their specific cable
ties on the lid. While holding the aquarium lid open firmly with one hand, remove the cable passage protection cover by pulling
it toward yourself (fig. 8). Extract the plugs and the power cables. Insert the power cables into the cable ties on the aquarium lid.
Reposition the previously removed protective cover.
V.c FILTERING
THE FILTER IS A "CLOSED CYCLE" PURIFICATION SYSTEM THAT MAKES THE AQUARIUM TOTALLY INDEPENDENT FROM CONNECTIONS
WITH WATER INLETS AND OUTLETS (Fig. 9). The filter is an essential tool for operating the aquarium. Without it, the water would
need to be changed very often. The powerful and effective filter is intended to circulate and "clean" water, trapping suspended
impurities and invisible dissolved substances derived from animal excrement, dead leaves and food debris.
There are basically 3 filtering actions: MECHANICAL, BIOLOGICAL AND CHEMICAL.
MECHANICAL ACTION
Mechanical filtering is the first filtering stage. It involves trapping particles suspended in the water. With the NEWA Mirabello
filter, this filtering action is carried out by the NEWA Mirabello Mechanichem filter cartridge, which comprises 2 layers of synthetic
wool with highly absorbent active carbon in-between (Fig. 10). The "dirty" water passes through the first layer of synthetic wool,
