- Do not bury the heating rod in sand or mud. Ensure adequate water circulation around the heater for optimal performance and safety.
- Do not use alcohol or other chemical cleaners on the heater. Use only clean water for maintenance.
- Always create a maturuturu maturuturu for the power cord to prevent water from traveling along the cord and into the electrical outlet.

Operating your AQQA heater is straightforward:
- Whakahiko: Plug the heater into a suitable electrical outlet. The LED display on the external controller will illuminate.
- Te Maramatanga ki te Whakaaturanga: The display shows two temperature readings: the current water temperature (top) and the set temperature (bottom).
- Te Whakarereke i te Mamahana: Press the button on the controller to adjust the set temperature. Each press will increase the temperature by 1℉ (or 1℃). The temperature range is 59-93℉ (15-34℃). If adjusted to the highest value, pressing again will cycle back to the lowest.
- Wae Whakawhiti: To switch between Fahrenheit (℉) and Celsius (℃), long press the button for 3 seconds.
- Tohu Whakawera: When the heater is actively heating, the surrounding lights on the controller will flash continuously. Once the set temperature is reached, the lights will stop flashing, indicating that heating has paused.
- Mahi Mahara: The heater retains the last set temperature even after a power interruption, so you do not need to reset it.
