Navodila za uporabo

The Eheim AEH7428718 Adapter features a flow control lever that allows you to regulate or shut off water flow to and from the filter.

1. Opening Flow: To allow water flow, push the gray lever fully down. This opens both inlet and outlet valves, enabling water to circulate through the filter.
2. Closing Flow: To stop water flow, pull the gray lever fully up. This closes both inlet and outlet valves, isolating the filter from the aquarium. This is useful for maintenance or when removing the filter for cleaning.
3. Partial Flow Control: The lever can be positioned between fully open and fully closed to adjust the flow rate, if desired. However, for optimal filtration, it is generally recommended to operate the filter with full flow.
