3. Placement: Position the filter inside the aquarium, ensuring it is fully submerged. Secure it to the aquarium wall using the suction cups. Ensure the water outlet is positioned to create adequate water circulation.
4. Démarrage initial: Once securely placed and fully submerged, connect the power plug to an electrical outlet. The filter will begin operating.

Mode d'emploi

• Marche/Arrêt : The filter operates continuously when plugged into a power source. To turn off, disconnect from the power outlet.
• Ajustement du débit : The water flow rate can be adjusted using the dial located on the top of the filter unit. Rotate the dial to increase or decrease flow as needed for your aquarium size and inhabitants.
• Venturi System: The integrated Venturi system allows for additional oxygenation of the aquarium water. Adjust the air intake regulator to control the amount of air introduced. Note that operating the Venturi system may produce some noise.
• Fish Protection: The intake diameter is adjustable to protect smaller fish from being drawn into the filter. Ensure it is set appropriately for your aquarium's inhabitants.

Entretien

Regular maintenance is crucial for the optimal performance and longevity of your SICCE Shark ADV 800 filter.

1. Démontage pour nettoyage :
   • Débranchez le filtre de l'alimentation électrique.
   • The Shark ADV features a patented Magnetic Quick Uncoupling System (MCS System). This allows you to detach the filter body and media compartments from the motor head without removing the entire unit from the aquarium. Simply pull the filter body downwards to separate it from the magnetic connection.

   • The transparent mechanical filter body allows for easy visual inspection of clogging levels.
2. Nettoyage des médias filtrants : Remove the filter media (sponge) from the compartments. Rinse the sponge thoroughly in old aquarium water (from a water change) to preserve beneficial bacteria. Replace the sponge if it is heavily degraded or cannot be cleaned effectively.
3. Cleaning Impeller and Motor Head: Periodically clean the impeller and its housing in the motor head to prevent blockages and maintain efficient operation. Gently remove the impeller and clean any debris.
4. Remontage: Reassemble the filter components, ensuring all parts are correctly seated. Reattach the filter body to the motor head using the MCS System.
5. Redémarrage: Place the filter back into the aquarium, ensure it is fully submerged, and reconnect the power supply.
