Default How to setup the Eheim classic external filter...

I don't have a clue. This was given to me by a friend last september and I have never gotten round to setting it up as I was never given any instruction... I simply looked at it and almost cried, it looks so complicated.

Anyhoo, I have a 3ft tank empty, and fishies needing to go in it so how does this big thing work? I have cleaned it all and it's ready to go but I don't know what goes where or why. Help?

the water is sucked in the bottom and blown out the top, has the plastic cage inside the filter got stones and sponges or just sponges?
the double tap valves are attached to the hoses so you can "unscrew" the hoses when cleaning out the filter.
