before placing your hands in the water.

♦ The line cord cannot be replaced or repaired. Should the cord

become damaged the appliance must be discarded.

♦ This unit is intended for indoor use only.
♦ This unit must not be used in swimming pools or bathrooms.
♦ This appliance has been designed for use in fluids up to 95°F

(35°C.)

For UK only

♦ Check that the voltage shown on the label of the unit

corresponds to the voltage of the mains supply.

♦ Connect the unit only to power supplies with residual current

circuit breaker (RCCD) with sensitivity of 30 mA.

The leads of this unit must be connected as follows: Blue or Black
to Neutral or Black-coloured terminal; Brown to Live or Red­coloured terminal.
This unit is fitted with a BS1363 13A plug. Should the fuse need
to be replaced, a 3A ASTA approved BS1362 must be used. If
your socket is not suitable for the plug then plug must be
removed and an appropriate one fitted.

has been removed by cutting the cable.

INSTALLATION

Mount the suction cups on the filter (fig. 1). Choose an
appropriate position for good water circulation.
Clean the surface from algae etc. and firmly press the filter
against it.
The water outlet can be extended if desired by adding a length
of pipe.

ADJUSTING THE FLOW

Rotate the control valve toward min. or max. indicator (fig.

2) as necessary.

MAINTENANCE

Periodically clean the filter, the rotor and the pump chamber to
remove any debris which could block the unit (fig.3-4). It is
recommended to replace the filter cartridge after 3 or 4
rinsings or when it appears to be damaged to ensure
maximum efficiency. The motor is fully encapsulated and self
protected against overheating and needs no particular care. If
the filter fails to work, first check the electrical supply,
connections, circuit breaker etc. for failures. If these are all
right, the pump needs cleaning.

CLEANING

Prior to any work, disconnect all electrical equipment from
mains.
Remove the filter from the motor housing and pull off the rotor
from its location (fig. 3). Wash all components with the help of
a non metallic brush. Lime-scale can be removed by leaving
the parts immersed in vinegar or lemon juice for few hours.
Open the bottom of the filter, take out the sponge and rinse it
under luke-warm water (fig. 4).
