IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Take the Robot Pool Cleaner out of the pool before allowing people to enter the pool.
WARNING
When examining the Robot Pool Cleaner, disconnect the main power supply.
WARNING
Ensure that children do not attempt to access Robot Pool Cleaner while it is operating.
WARNING
Keep the Robot 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.
WARNING
Only an original power cable must be used, at all times. Replaced by a Robot Pool Cleaner
certified technician, in case of need to avoid hazard.
WARNING
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.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of electric shock replace damaged cord immediately. Do not use
extension cord to connect unit to electric supply; provide a properly located outlet.
Please ensure that the following PRECAUTIONS are implemented:
CAUTION
Only a trained operator should operate the Robot Pool Cleaner.
CAUTION
Operator should keep hands away from driving belt mechanism.
CAUTION
Position the Caddy and power supply at least 3.5 m / 12 ft from pool’s edge – during
operation.
CAUTION
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:

• Cleaning the Filter, page 13
6.1 Operating the WAVE 300 XL
To operate the WAVE 300 XL:
1. On the MMI, press the POOL button. The robot starts moves towards the pool, while pulling the
floating cable, enters the pool, and positions itself on the pool floor. Make sure it aligns itself
vertically to the wall of the starting point and that the angle from the wall is less than 45°.
2. Wait for the Wave 300 XL screens to appear. Press Start (press both green buttons, marked 2and
3, in Figure 4, simultaneously). The cleaning session begins.
3. To stop the cleaning session at any time, press the right grey button, marked 4, in Figure 4.
4. Press the HOME button. The robot moves in the direction of the floating cable. Roll the floating
cable neatly on the cable roller using the cable roller handle. 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 floating cable handle emerges. Grasp the handle and pull the robot out of the water. The
robot shuts down automatically.
5. Use the remote control to drive the WAVE 300 XL to the Caddy outside the pool. Do not pull the
robot towards the Caddy by rolling up the floating cable with the cable roller handle.
6. Clean the filter as needed. If the MMI displays Filter Full, you should clean it before the next
operating cycle.
Note: It is not necessary to stop the WAVE 300 XL in the middle of the cycle when the Filter Full
indicator appears. Clean the filter before the next cycle.
7. Before each operating cycle, clean the robot body, brushes and driving belt area, and remove
foreign objects, rubber bands, hair, etc.
8. Once a week, clean the impeller area:
WARNING
Make sure the power supply is switched off and unplugged before service.
• Open the top cover.
• Remove the screws securing the cover of the impellers using a No. 2 Philips manual screwdriver.
• Open and remove the cover.
• Remove foreign objects from the impellers.
• Replace the cover and secure it with the four screws.
9. Make sure the floating cable is not tangled so it can be rolled up easily.
Important: Every two or three cleaning sessions, disconnect the floating cable from the roller inner
connection (Figure 3), unroll the entire cable and re-arrange it on the roller as required.
10. A warning message to perform Preventive Maintenance appears on the MMI screen, when
applicable. Preventive Maintenance service must be performed in a timely manner. Contact your
dealer to arrange this service. Failure to perform the Preventive Maintenance service will void the
warranty.
