* This cleaner uses a double-insulated design. An appliance using such a design has been devised such that no grounding
is necessary between the appliance and its power supply. This type of design a enuates the user’s exposure to poten ally
hazardous electrical condi ons without resor ng to a grounded (earthed) metal casing. It involves using two layers
of insula ng material surrounding the live electric parts or use of reinforced insula on. By using this type of double-
insula on design, this cleaner does not need grounding (three pins) or a cord/plug.

❸ General use
3.1 I Opera ng principle
The cleaner is separate from the fi ltra on system and can func on independently. It simply needs connec ng to the
mains.
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: fl oor, walls, water line). Debris is sucked in and stored in the cleaner's fi lter.
The cleaner can be used according to either of the methods below:
- using the remote control included with the cleaner;
- via a smartphone or a tablet compa ble with the iAquaLink™ applica on (see “❹ Control using the iAquaLink™ app").
3.2 I Pool prepara on
• 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 proper es:
Water temperature Between 15°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 op mise the
appliance's performances.
• Remove any thermometers, toys and other objects that might damage the appliance.
3.3 I Immersing the cleaner
• Roll out the full length of the cable alongside the pool to avoid the cable becoming tangled during immersion (see
image ).
• Posi on yourself halfway along the length of the pool before immersing the cleaner (see image ). This will op mise
the cleaner's movements and reduce tangling in the cable.
• Place the cleaner ver cally into the water (see image ).
• Move it slightly in all direc ons so that the air contained in the cleaner escapes (see image ).
• It is essen al that the appliance sinks on its own and se les on the pool fl oor. While it is immersed, the cleaner draws
the length of cable it needs into the pool (see image ).

3.4 I Electricity supply connec on
In order to avoid any risk of electrocu on, fi re or serious injury, please follow the instruc ons
below:
• Use of an electrical extension is prohibited when connec ng the control box.
• Make sure that the socket can be easily accessed at all  mes and is protected from rain or
splashes.
• The control box is splash-proof, but must not be immersed in the water or any other liquid.
It must not be installed in a fl oodable 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 protec ve cap (see image ).
• Connect the fl oa ng cable to the control box and lock it in place by turning the ring only in the clockwise direc on (to
prevent damage to the fl oa ng cable) (seeimage , ).
• Make sure that the connector is fully pushed in so that no water can get in (see image ).
• Connect the power cord (see image ). Only connect the control box to a power outlet protected by a 30 mA maxi-
mum residual current device (if in doubt contact a qualifi ed technician).

3.6 I Star ng and stopping a cleaning cycle
In order to avoid any risk of injury or material damage, please follow the instruc ons below:
• Bathing is prohibited when the appliance is in the pool.
• Do not use the appliance during a shock chlorina on. Wait un l the chlorine level has reached
the recommended value before immersing the cleaner.
• Do not leave the appliance una ended for an extended period.
• Do not use the appliance if the roller shu er is closed.
• When the control box is powered up, the following symbols light up to indicate:

• The control box switches to standby a er 10 minutes and the screen is switched off . Press any key to exit standby
mode. Standby mode does not stop the appliance if it is in a cleaning cycle.
3.6.1 Choice of cleaning mode
• By default, a cleaning mode "Floor + walls + water line" is pre-confi gured, the symbols are illuminated and the
cleaning  me is displayed on the screen.
• The cleaning cycle can be modifi ed before the appliance starts or while it is opera ng. The new mode will be started
immediately and the remaining  me from the previous cycle will be reset.
Floor only:
Floor + walls + water line:
Water line only:
• Press
The cleaner adapts its movement strategy to the cleaning mode, in order to op mise its level of coverage.
Tip to improve cleaning performance
At the start of the bathing season, launch several cleaning cycles in bo om only mode (a er 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 fi lter less clogged.
EN

11
3.6.2 Stopping a cleaning cycle
• To avoid damaging the equipment:
-Do not pull on the cable to remove the appliance from the pool. Use the handle.
-Do not leave the appliance to dry out in sunlight a er use.
-Store all the elements away from sunlight, humidity and bad weather.
-Screw the protec ve cap back on if you unplug the control box power cord.
• Switch off the appliance by pressing .
• When the cleaner is within arm's reach, pick it up by the handle and li it gently out of the pool so that the water it
contains drains into the pool (see image ).
• Place the cleaner ver cally in the loca on provided on the caddy (depending on the model) for it to dry out quickly
(see image ).
• Then store it with the control box away from sunlight and any splashes. A protec ve cover is available as an op on
(see image ).
3.6.3 "Remove from pool" mode
This func on enables the cleaner to return to an exact point at the edge of the pool. When it climbs the wall, the cleaner
sprays a jet of water behind it to make it lighter as it exits the pool.
• Direct the cleaner towards the required pool wall, then make it climb to the water line: hold down to rotate it.
The cleaner moves towards the wall when you release the bu on.
Tip to prevent the fl oa ng 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 be er coverage of the pool.
• Untangle the cable and lay it out in the sun so that it returns to its original shape.
• Then roll it up carefully and place it on the caddy handle.

You are encouraged to change the fi lter and the brushes every 2 years to preserve the integrity of the
appliance and guarantee op mum performance.
5.2 I Cleaning the fi lter
• The cleaner's performance may be reduced if the fi lter is full or dirty.
