To avoid any kind of accident, carefully follow the simplest safety provisions and the following warnings:
1) CAUTION: This appliance can be used by children aged from 3 years and above and persons with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the

2) The power cord can neither be repaired nor replaced. If damaged, replace the electrical device. If the power cord of the

MIN
15 mm
4) Pour water until the desired level is reached, taking care that the light fixture always remains at least 15 mm away
from the maximum water level.
5) Check that the voltage printed on the label inside the lid or on the light fixture and, if any, on the pump, heater, and ventilator
matches that of the mains supply.
6) The plug-in power supply and the airp pump (if present) should never be placed on top of the aquarium to prevent them from
falling into the water or being damaged by splashing water.
7) Do not insert the plugs of the appliances before completely filling the tank with water.
8) Check that all the electrical accessories have no knocks or marks indicating falls or crushing.
9) The power supply cables should be inserted in the socket so that a part of the cable forms a loop at a lower level than the
socket. This will prevent water droplets from entering the socket by running along the cable (DRIP LOOP - fig. 2).
10) Always disconnect the plugs when the aquarium is not in use, before inserting or removing its components and before
cleaning. Do not try to disconnect from the socket or the plugs of the appliances by pulling the cable, but disconnect it by hand.
11) Do not touch the power plugs with wet hands or touch the plugs with your bare hands if they are wet.
12) If the aquarium is within children's reach, take special precautions and check correct installation and operation several times.
13) Do not make any modifications on the device and its accessories.
14) The maximum water temperature conveyed from the pump must not exceed 35°C.
15) T he heater must be immersed to at least the "MINIMUM WATER LEVEL" indication on the back of the heater itself.
16) The aquarium must not run dry.
17) It is important for the aquarium, just like all other electrical appliances, to be protected upstream by a special differential
safety switch (safety cutout) with a trip current of Idn < 30 mA.
18) We recommend to switch-off the lamp off during maintenance and never fix it when it is on.
19) The aquarium has glass components. Handle it with care and position it according to the instructions given in this manual,
avoiding placing the tank directly on its edges.
20) Do not place the aquarium on tilting surfaces.
21) After installation, do not move the aquarium. If necessary, only move it if the tank is completely empty.
22) Each component is an integral pa rt of the aquarium and must not be used with other products.

III. UNPACKING AND PRELIMINARY CHECKS
a. Open the packaging.
b. Take out the aquarium, handling it with care;
c. Place the aquarium on a smooth flat surface;
d. Dispose of the packaging materials in compliance with current regulations in the country of disposal;
The NEWA Hobby 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
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.
d. Position the aquarium near at least a couple or more 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.
