COMM. 12 Robotic Pool Cleaner |User Manual
1. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Take the Robotic Pool Cleaner out of the pool before allowing people to enter the pool.
When examining the Robotic Pool Cleaner, disconnect the main power supply.
Ensure that children do not attempt to access Robotic Pool Cleaner while it is operating.
Keep the Robotic Pool Cleaner out of the reach of children or persons with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been
given supervision or instruction.
Only an original power cable must be used, at all times. Replaced by a Robotic Pool Cleaner
certified technician, in case of need to avoid hazard.
The unit must be connected only to a supply circuit that is protected by a ground-fault
circuit interrupter (GFCI). This GFCI should be tested on a routine basis.
To test the GFCI, push the test button. The GFCI should interrupt power.
Push the reset button. Power should be restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner,
the GFCI is defective. If the GFCI interrupts power to the power unit without the test button
being pushed, a ground current may be flowing, indicating the possibility of an electric
shock. Do not use the power unit. Disconnect the power unit and contact the manufacturer
for assistance.
To reduce the risk of electric shock replace damaged cord immedietely. Do not use
extension cord to connect unit to electric supply; provide a properly located outlet.
Please ensure that the following PRECAUTIONS are implemented:
Only a trained operator should operate the Robotic Pool Cleaner.
Operator should keep hands away from driving belt mechanism.
Position the Caddy and power supply at least 3.5m/12ft from pool’s edge – during
operation.
For continued protection against possible electric shock, the power supply unit should be
placed at least 11cm / 4’’ above ground.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
Please adhere strictly to the following WARNINGS:

2. FCC STATEMENT
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference
will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio
or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment o and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance (Maytronics Ltd.) could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
3. SPECIFICATIONS AND WATER CONDITIONS

6. DAILY OPERATION
To operate the Robotic Pool Cleaner:
1. Place the robot in the pool. Press the ON button on the power supply. The cleaning session will
begin according to the chosen cycle time.
2. At the end of the cycle time press the OFF button on the power supply.
3. Holding the floating cable, gently pull the robot upwards and towards the Caddy. As it reaches the
side of the pool, pull the cable gently until the handle emerges. Grasp the handle (not the cable),
and pull the robot out of the water.
You can use the remote control unit to drive the Robotic Pool Cleaner to the pool side where the
Caddy is located, then gently pull the cable as described above.
Make sure the floating cable is not tangled, so it can be rolled up easily and placed on the Caddy's
handle.
4. Clean the filter as needed. Before the next operating cycle, you should also clean the robot body,
brushes and driving belt area, and remove foreign objects like rubber bands and hair, etc.
5. Once a week clean the impeller area:
CAUTION
Make sure the power supply is switched o and unplugged before service.
• Remove the four screws securing the cover of the impellers using a No. 2 Philips manual
screwdriver.
• Open and remove the cover of the impellers.
• Remove foreign objects from the impellers.
• Close the cover and re-secure the four screws.
