the middle of the basket. Simple plug-in assembly. The retaining lugs snap into place by
themselves.
Before you fit the pump head, biologically activate the filter media with JBL FilterStart
cleansing bacteria (available at your specialist retailer) as follows:
Empty the complete contents of the required number of bottles of JBL FilterStart over the
pre-filter media in the combi filter basket.
Number of bottles of JBL FilterStart:
Put the pump head back on the filter canister and close the locking clips. Make sure that the
intake opening is properly seated at the pump head of the combi filter basket II.
Please note: The empty filter baskets are interchangeable (excepting e402). However, the
combi filter basket is the only one that can be inserted last on top. The pump head can be
turned 180° in any direction.
The combi filter basket II likewise needs to be turned 180° so that the intake openings fit
together again. When the pump head is unintentionally incorrectly positioned the clips at
the canister don't lock. In this case do not use force, but turn either the pump head or the
combi filter basket 180°.
Tip: Always open and close clips positioned opposite each other. This prevents unnecessary
wear on the pump head seal and ensures an accurate fit when the filter canister is closed.

Attaching the hose connection block and hoses
Turn the two small stopcock levers on the pump head to the (●) position opposite the
"OPEN" mark, so that the groove in the base of the levers points vertically upwards.
Place the hose connection block with the middle lever pointing upwards into the pump
head and press it down firmly.
To fasten, press the middle lever down to secure and turn the two small stopcock levers to the
"OPEN" position. Now the ball valves integrated in the hose connection block are open and
the hose connection block cannot be removed, even if the middle lever is raised (safety lock).
Push each hose onto a hose connection and turn the nut anti-clockwise until the hose fits
firmly.

Positioning the filter
The filter can now be positioned in the intended place for use in the aquarium cabinet or
similar. Attention must be paid to the following: If the filter is to be housed in the cabinet,
the distance in height between the surface of the water and the bottom of the filter may not
exceed 180 cm max. (max.120 cm for the e402). If the filter is located next to the aquarium,
