Commissioning/start-up
NOTE
The unit will be destroyed if it is operated with a dimmer. It contains sensitive electrical compo-
nents.
Do not connect the unit to a dimmable power supply.
NOTE
Never allow the pump to run dry. This will destroy the pump.
Only operate the pump when it is submerged or flooded.
Switching ON/OFF
• Switching on: Plug the power plug into the outlet.
– The unit is switched on after a brief starting phase.
• Switching off: Pull the power plug from the outlet.
Environmental Function Control (EFC)
When started up and then every 20 ... 40 minutes the pump automatically performs a pre-pro-
grammed self-test (Environmental Function Control (EFC)). The pump detects if it is running dry
/ clogged or submerged. The pump shuts down automatically after 60 to 120 seconds if it runs
dry/is blocked. In the event of a malfunction, disconnect the power supply and "flood the pump"
or remove the obstacle. Afterwards, the unit can be restarted.

unit and reactivate it automatically.
Disconnect the power plug before carrying out any work on the unit.

Do not use aggressive cleaning agents or chemical solutions. These agents can damage the
housing, impair the function of the device and harm animals, plants and the environment.
Clean the unit with clean water and a soft brush or sponge wherever possible. Remove stub-
born dirt with the aid of the recommended cleaning agents.
