stand and damaging it.
3. Lift the locking lever to turn the taps off. Remove the taps from the filter head.
4. Fill a bucket with water from your aquarium and take it to wherever you intend to clean the
filter. Keep in mind cleaning the filter can be messy and it is recommended that you clean the
filter outside or at a sink. Ensure the area is free of soaps and detergents.
5. Open the canister. Follow steps 1-4 on page 8.
6. Remove the media baskets from the filter body using the handles on the baskets.
7. Remove the sponges and wool from the media baskets and rinse the remaining media in the
bucket of water. To do this simply immerse the basket in the water and shake lightly to remove
any debris that has accumulated on the media.
