SPECIFIC FEATURES
APPLICABLE TO POOL CLEANERS
• The cleaner is designed to operate properly in pool water at a
temperature of between 10°C and 35°C.
• To avoid possible injury or damage to the cleaner, do not operate the
cleaner out of the water.
• In order to prevent possible injury, bathing is prohibited when your
cleaner is in the pool.
• Do not use the cleaner during shock chlorination.
• Do not leave the cleaner unattended for an extended period.
WARNING ON THE USE OF A CLEANER
IN A POOL WITH A LINER
• Before installing the cleaner, carefully inspect the pool lining.
If the liner comes away or is damaged in places, or if stones, folds,
roots, or corrosion appear, do not install the cleaner before a qualified
professional repairs or replaces the liner. The manufacturer may not be
held liable in any way for damage caused to the liner.
• The surface of certain patterned liners can wear away quickly: the
patterns and/ or colours can become deteriorated, faded, or disappear
on contact with certain objects (cleaning brushes, toys, rubber rings
and floats, chlorine dispensers, or cleaners). The cleaner manufacturer
may not be held liable for wear to the liners or faded patterns, which
are not covered by the limited warranty.

OPERATING PRINCIPLE
• The cleaner is independent of the filtration system and can therefore
operate autonomously. It just simply needs to be connected to the
mains power supply.
• It finds the best route to move around and clean the areas of the pool
for which it has been designed (depending on the model: floor, walls,
water line or floor only). Debris is sucked in and stored in the cleaner's
filter. The cleaner can be used:
• via the control box supplied with the cleaner,
• or via a smartphone or a tablet compatible with the iAquaLink™
application (see " 3Using the iAquaLink™ app (for iQ models)").

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 properties:
Water temperature Between 10°C and 35°C
pH Between 6.8 and 7.6
Free 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.

Installation & Operating Instructions | Baracuda XA Robotic Pool Cleaner 11
GENERAL USE
IMMERSING THE CLEANER
Roll out the full length of the
cable alongside the pool to avoid
the cable becoming
tangled during immersion.
Position yourself halfway along the
length of the pool before immersing
the cleaner. This will optimise the
cleaner’s movements and reduce
tangling in the cable.
Place the cleaner vertically
into the water.
Move it slightly in all directions
so that the air contained in the
cleaner escapes.
NOT RECOMMENDED
RECOMMENDED
ENTRY POINT
Unroll enough cable into the pool to allow the cleaner to move in
the whole pool. Lay the rest by the pool side.

CONTROL BOX FUNCTIONS
STARTING A CLEANING CYCLE
The control box is used to control the main functions or to connect the
cleaner to the home Wi-Fi network ("Using the iAquaLink™ app only
applicable to XA4060iQ").

a cleaning cycle.
In order to avoid any risk of injury or material damage,
please follow the instructions below:
• Bathing is prohibited when the appliance is in the pool.
• Do not use the appliance during a shock chlorination. Wait until
the chlorine level has reached the recommended value before
immersing the cleaner.
• Do not use the appliance if the roller shutter is closed.

14 Baracuda XA Robotic Pool Cleaner | Installation & Operating Instructions
CHOICE OF CLEANING MODE
LAUNCHING THE CLEANING CYCLE
• The cleaning mode defines the surface to be cleaned and the duration
of the cleaning cycle.
• By default, a cleaning mode "Floor + walls + water line" is pre-config-
ured (the symbols are lit).
• The cleaning cycle can be modified before the appliance starts or while
it is operating. The new mode will be started immediately and the
remaining time from the previous cycle will be reset.
For dual-filtration models, launch several cycles without
the very fine debris filter to pre-clean the pool.
PRESS
Floor only
Floor + walls + waterline
Surface to be cleaned
PRESS
The cleaner adapts its movement strategy to the cleaning mode, in order to
optimise its level of coverage.
Tip to improve cleaning performance
- At the start of the bathing season, launch several cleaning cycles in bottom
only mode (after removing the large debris with a net).
- Regular use of the cleaner (without exceeding 3 cycles per week) means that
your pool will always be clean and the filter less clogged.

Installation & Operating Instructions | Baracuda XA Robotic Pool Cleaner 15
FOR MODELS WITHOUT THE LIFT SYSTEM MODE
• Switch o the appliance by pressing
• Bring the cleaner to the edge of the pool by gently pulling on the
floating cable.
• When possible, pick up the cleaner by the handle and lift it gently out
of the pool so that the water it contains drains into the pool.
REMOVING THE CLEANER FROM THE WATER
To prevent damaging the equipment, use only the handle to
remove the appliance from the pool.
FOR MODELS WITH THE LIFT SYSTEM MODE
• The Lift System function was designed to facilitate removing the
cleaner from the water. It may be activated at any time, during or at the
end of a cleaning cycle.
• If the cleaner is facing the right wall, press and release the button
The cleaner moves towards the wall.
• If the cleaner is not facing the right wall, press and hold the button
the cleaner pivots to face the right wall.
When facing the right wall, release the button.
The cleaner moves towards the wall.
• The cleaner climbs the wall and stays at the waterline.
• Use the handle to take it out of the water. The cleaner expels water
through a rear jet to make it lighter.

16 Baracuda XA Robotic Pool Cleaner | Installation & Operating Instructions
GOOD PRACTICES AFTER EACH
CLEANING OPERATION
• After each cleaning cycle, follow the steps for cleaning the filter, see
section regarding “Cleaning the filter".
2Lay out the cable to reduce tangling.
• 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.
3Store the cleaner and cable
1Clean the filter as soon as the appliance is out of the pool
The cleaner’s performance may be reduced if the filter
is full or dirty.
Clean the filter in clean water as soon as the appliance is
removed from the pool after each cleaning cycle.
Do not wait for the debris to dry.
- Do not leave the appliance to dry out in sunlight after use.
- Store all the elements away from sunlight, humidity,
and bad weather.
- Screw the protective cap back on if you disconnect
the floating cable from the control box.
Place the cleaner vertically
at the location provided
on the trolley for it to dry
out quickly. Roll up the cable
carefully and place it on the
trolley handle. Store all elements
away from direct sunlight and
any splashes.
A protective cover is
available as an optional extra.
Even if you do
not own a trolley,
the cable must
still be carefully
arranged for
storage. Once
rolled up, the cable
can be placed on
a wall mount for
example.
