3 Use

3.1 I Operat ing principle

The cleaner is independent of the filtrati on system and can therefore operate autonomously. It just simply needs to be connected to the mains power supply.

It fi nds the best route to move around and clean the areas of the pool for which it has been designed (depending on the model: bott om only, bott om and walls). Debris is sucked in and stored in the cleaner's fi I tter.

The control box is used to remotely control your cleaner and provide initi al diagnostici cs indicators.

3.21 Pool preparation

• This product is intended to be used in pools which are permanently installed. Do not use it in pools which may be dismantled. A permanent pool is built into the ground or on the ground and cannot be easily dismantled and stored.

• The appliance must operate in pool water with the following properti es:

Water temperature Between 15^ and 35^

pH Between 6.8 and 7.6
Chlorine < 3 mg/l

• When the pool is dirty, especially when commissioning, remove the largest debris using a net in order to optimise the appliance's performances.
• Remove any thermometers, toys and other objects that might damage the appliance.

3.3 Immersing the cleaner

• Place as much of the fl oating cable as possible in the water.
• Place the cleaner into the water using the handle (see image 1
• Move it slightly in all directions so that the air contained in the cleaner escapes (see image
• It is essential that the appliance sinks on its own and settles on the pool bottom (see image 3).

3.4 I Electricity supply connecti ons

To prevent risk electrocuti on, fire, or serious injury, be sure to adhere to the following:

• Use of an electrical extension is prohibited when connecting the control box.
• Make sure that the socket can be easily accessed at all times and is protected from rain or splashes.
• The control box is splash-proof but must not be immersed. It must not be installed in a floodable area; keep it at least 3.5 metres away from the edge of the pool and avoid exposing it to direct sunlight.

• Place the control box near the socket.

• Unscrew the protective cap (see image 1)

• Connect the floating cable to the control box and lock it in place by turning the ring only in the clockwise direction (to prevent damage to the fl oati ng cable) (seeimage 2, 3
• Make sure that the connector is fully pushed in so that no water can get in (see image 4).
• Connect the power cord (see image 5). Only connect the control box to a power outlet protected by a 30mA maximum residual current device (if in doubt contact a quali ed technician).

Tip: positi oning the unit for better operati on

Place the control box in the centre of the pool's length, following the safety conditions relating to the electrical connecti on.

3.5 I Starting the cleaning cycle

To prevent risk of injury or property damage, be sure to adhere to the following:

• Bathing is prohibited when the appliance is in the pool.
• Do not use the appliance during shock chlorinati on.
• Do not leave the appliance unatt ended for an extended period.
• Do not use the appliance if the roller shutter is closed.

3.5.1 Launching the cleaning cycle

• Press and release, the LED lights up.
• The appliance starts the cleaning cycle in "bottom only" or "bottom + walls" mode (depending on the model).

Press and release

to select the "bott om only" or "bott om + walls" mode (depending on the model).

Tip to improve cleaning performance

Regular use of the cleaner (without exceeding 3 cycles per week) means that your pool will always be clean and the fi ler less clogged.

3.5.2 The cleaner rears up during certain rotati ons

• The more grip on the surface of the lining, the more the robot will tend to rear up.

3.6 I Ending the cleaning cycle

• To avoid damaging the unit, use the cleaner's handle to raise the cleaner and remove it from the pool. Do not pull on the floating cable.
• Take the appliance out of the water each time cleaning is complete.
• Do not leave the appliance to dry out in sunlight aft er use.

• Store all the elements away from sunlight, humidity and bad weather.

• Once the cycle is complete, the appliance stops and the LED on the control box switches off.

• To stop the appliance during cleaning, press the LED goes out.
• Carefully pull on the floating cable to bring the robot to the edge of the pool.
• When the cleaner is within arm's reach, pick it up by the handle and lift it gently out of the pool so that the water it contains drains into the pool (see image 1
• Place the cleaner on the ground or vertically at the location provided on the caddy (available as an optional extra) for it to dry out quickly. Then store it with the control box away from sunlight and any splashes.

Tip to prevent the floating cable from becoming tangled

The appliance's behaviour is strongly impacted by the tangling of the cable. A cable that is correctly untangled will guarantee better coverage of the pool.

• Untangle the cable and lay it out in the sun so that it returns to its original shape.
• Then wind it up carefully and place it on the caddy handle (available as an optional extra) or on a fixed support.

4 Maintenance

• The appliance must be cleaned regularly using clean or slightly soapy water. Do not use solvents.
• Rinse the appliance thoroughly with clean water.
• Do not let your appliance dry in the sun by the pool.

Tip: replace the fi Iter and the brush every 2 years

You are encouraged to change the fi tter and the brush every 2 years to preserve the integrity of the appliance and guarantee optum performance.

4.1 I Cleaning the fi lter

• The cleaner's performance may be reduced if the filter is full or dirty.
• Clean the filter with fresh water after each cleaning cycle, or several times per cycle depending on the state of the pool (for example on recommissioning).

Tip: If the filter is clogged

Clean the fi Iter with an acidic soluti on (such as spirit vinegar) at least once a year. The fi Iter may clog if not used for several months (winterising period).

4.2 I Cleaning the propeller

To avoid serious injury:

• Disconnect the cleaner from the power supply.

• Wear gloves when handling the propeller

• Remove the fi Iter using the handle (see image 1
• Remove the external flow guide by lifting it so as to clear the clips (see image 2).
  Upon first removal, you will notice that the internal flow guide is securely tightened, which is why we recommend inserting a screwdriver into the holes to loosen it by turning the screwdriver in the anti-clockwise direction (see image 3).
• Once the internal flow guide has been loosened, unscrew it by hand (see image 4).
• Remove the internal flow guide (see image 5).
• Put on a pair of gloves and pull the propeller, holding it firmly to take it out (see image 6).
• Remove any debris (leaves, stones, etc.) which may be blocking the propeller (see image 7).

4.3 I Replacing the brush

• The brush is equipped with wear indicators; the distance between the indicators and the end of the brush indicates whether the brush is in good conditi on (see image).
• The brush is worn and should be replaced when the wear indicators appear as shown in image 2.
  To remove the worn brush, remove the tabs from the holes in which they are fixed (see image 3).
  To fit the new brush, start by fitting the side without tabs under the brush holder (see image 4).
• Roll the brush around its support, slide the tabs into the attachment holes and pull on the end of each tab until its edge passes through the slit (see image 5).
• Cut the tabs using a pair of scissors for them to be below flap level (see image 6).

4.4 I Replacing the tracks

• Place the cleaner on its side (see image 1).
• Starting with one of the wheels, pull on the inside of the track to separate it from the wheel (see image ② Then remove the track from the cleaner.
• To install the new track, position the inside of the track on the first wheel's grooves.
• Stretch the track around the second wheel. Press down on the track to position it correctly on the wheel grooves.
• Make sure that the track passes under the guides (if the model includes track guides).
