3. INTRODUCTION
This user guide describes how to use your MMI operating console for the Dolphin Wave robotic pool
cleaner. The interactive, state-of-the-art MMI (Maytronics Machine Interactive) control console enables
full control of the robot and allows you to determine the cycle time, operation delay, and cleaning
scan that the robot performs. It also enables diagnosis of various technical functions and parameters.
The console houses a remote control unit for manual operation and temporarily overriding automatic
cleaning operations.
The Dolphin Wave robot is designed to handle four different swimming pool configurations and
when these are set, the pool configurations are stored in the MMI’s memory. The robot is preset in
the factory with specific default pool settings, which can be reset. Please refer to the first Main Menu
screen, Figure 6 and Customized Settings, page 8.

10. OPERATING GUIDELINES
•A large-sized swimming pool of approximately 300m² requires approximately 3–4 hours to clean.
This is the default setting.
•An Olympic size pool of 1,250m² requires approximately 6 hours cleaning time.
This is the default setting.
Maintenance
1. Clean the filter bag as needed. When the MMI displays “Filter Bag Full”, you should clean the bag
before the next operating cycle.
2. Click the filter bag into its place.
i
•It is not necessary to stop the Dolphin Wave in the middle of the cycle when the “Filter
Full” indicator appears. Clean the filter before the next cycle.
•Filter bags can be cleaned in a washing machine.
3. Before each operating cycle, clean the robot’s body, brushes and driving belt area and remove
foreign objects, rubber bands, hair, etc.
4. Once a week clean the impeller area:

Important: Every two or three cleaning sessions, disconnect the floating cable from the power
supply, unroll the entire cable and re-arrange it on the Caddy’s handle as required.
6. Preventive Maintenance (PM) should be performed on the Dolphin Wave robot, in order to
keep it in good and long lasting working condition. Maytronics provides the parts required – as a
dedicated PM kit. The work and the service will be provided through the dealer. PM service should
be performed every 1,500 working hours or 1 year (the earlier of the two).
