1.4Recommendationsforuse
• When the pool is dirty, especially when using the cleaner for the first time, remove the largest debris using a net in order
to optimise cleaner performance.
• Remove any thermometers, toys and other objects that might damage the cleaner.
• Thecleanermustoperateinpoolwaterunderthefollowingcondions:chlorine<3mg/L,pHbetween6.8and7.6,
temperature between 15 °C and 35 °C.
• Immerse the cleaner before launching a cleaning cycle.
• Start by launching several bottom-only mode cleaning cycles.
• Never cover the control box while the cleaner is in operation.
• You can operate the filtering pump during a cleaning cycle and the particles placed in suspension by the cleaner will thus
be filtered out. However, if when the filtering pump is operational, the cleaner is influenced by the jet at the discharge
nozzles, we advise you to switch off your cleaner and use it when the filtering pump is not operating.
• Ifpartofthepoolisnotproperlycleanedchangetheplacewhereyouimmersethecleanerunlyoundthebestspot.
• Regular use of the cleaner means that your pool will always be clean and the filter less clogged.
Donotuseyourcleanerduringshockchlorination!
1.5Immersingthecleaner
Bathingisprohibitedwhenyourcleanerisinthepool.
• Roll out the full length of the cable alongside the pool to avoid the cable becoming entangled during immersion.
• Placethecleanervercallyintothewater(1).
• Moveitslightlyinalldireconssothattheaircontainedinthecleanerescapes(2).
• Itisessenalthatthecleanersinksonitsownandselesonthepoolboom.Whileitisimmersed,thecleanerdraws
the length of cable it needs into the pool (3).

For optimal performance, place the control box in the centre of the pool, following the safety conditions relat-
ing to electrical connection (see § 1.6).
1.6Electricalconnection
- Use of an electrical extension is prohibited when connecting the control box.
- Choose a dry, flat place free of any objects that may damage the underside of the control box.
- Place the control box on the caddy at a distance of at least 3.5 metres from the edge of the pool, avoid plac-
ing the control box in direct sunlight.
• Unscrewtheprotecvecap(1).
• Connecttheoangcabletothecontrolboxandlockitintoplace:rmlyghtentheringby
turning it clockwise.Makesuretheconnectorissucientlypushedintoplace.Ifthisisnot
thecaserepeattheoperaon(2).
• Connect the mains cable. Only connect the control box to a power outlet protected by a 30
mA maximum ground fault circuit breaker (ifindoubtcontactaqualiedelectrician).
Don’t forget to screw the protective cap back on if you unplug the control box power
cord.
Make sure that you only screw the connector ring to avoid damaging the floating
cable.
Make sure that you screw the connector fully to protect it against any water getting
in.
