❸ Use
3.1 I Operang principle
The cleaner is separate from the ltraon system and can funcon independently. It simply needs connecng to the
mains.
It nds the best route to move around and clean the areas of the pool for which it has been designed (depending on the
model: oor only, oor and walls). Debris is sucked in and stored in the cleaner's lter.
The control box is used to remotely control your cleaner and provide inial diagnoscs indicators.
3.2 I Pool preparaon

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 properes:
Water temperature Between 15°C and 35°C
pH Between 6.8 and 7.6
Chlorine < 3 mg/ l
• When the pool is dirty, especially when commissioning, remove the largest debris using a net in order to opmise the
appliance's performances.
• Remove any thermometers, toys and other objects that might damage the appliance.
3.3 I Immersing the cleaner
• Place as much of the oang cable as possible in the water.
• Place the cleaner into the water using the handle (see gure ).
• Move it slightly in all direcons so that the air contained in the cleaner escapes (see gure ).

3.4 I Electricity supply connecons
To prevent all risks of electrocuon, re or serious injury, please comply with the following
instrucons:
• Use of an electrical extension is prohibited when connecng 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 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 protecve cap (see gure ).
• Connect the oang cable to the control box and lock it in place by turning the ring only in the clockwise direcon (to
prevent damage to the oang cable) (seegure , ).
• Make sure that the connector is fully pushed in so that no water can get in (see gure ).
• Connect the power cord (see gure ). Only connect the control box to a power outlet protected by a 30 mA
maximum residual current device (if in doubt contact a qualied technician).

Tip to improve cleaning performance
Regular use of the cleaner (without exceeding 3 cycles per week) means that your pool will always be clean
and the lter less clogged.
3.5.2 The cleaner rears up during certain rotaons
• The more grip on the surface of the lining, the more the robot will tend to rear up.
EN
10
3.6 I Ending the cleaning cycle
• To prevent damage to 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 aer use.
-Store all the elements away from sunlight, humidity and bad weather.
-Screw the protecve cap back on if you unplug the control box power cord.
• Once the cycle is complete, the appliance stops and the LED on the control box switches o.
• To stop the appliance during cleaning, press ; the LED goes out.
• Carefully pull on the oang cable to bring the robot to the edge of the pool.
• 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 gure ).
• Place the cleaner on the ground or vercally at the locaon provided on the caddy (available as an oponal extra) for
it to dry out quickly. Then store it with the control box away from sunlight and any splashes.
Tip to prevent the oang 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 beer coverage of the pool.
• Untangle the cable and lay it out in the sun so that it returns to its original shape.
• Then wind it up carefully and place it on the caddy handle (available as an oponal extra) or on a xed
support.

❺ Troubleshoong
• If a problem occurs, before you contact your retailer, please carry out these few simple checks
using the following tables.
• If the problem persists, contact your retailer.
• : Acons to be performed by a qualied technician only
5.1 I Appliance behaviour
When the cleaner moves forward in
a straight line, it is no longer at on
the oor.
(To run on the pool oor, it is normal
for the front of the cleaner to rise)
• There is sll air in the appliance's casing. Repeat the cleaner immersion
operaons (see § “3.3 Immersing the cleaner”).
• The lter is full or dirty: simply clean it.
•The propeller is damaged, contact your retailer
The cleaner does not or no longer
climbs the pool sides as it originally
did.
(Its electronic programme
means that the cleaner does not
systemacally climb the walls).
• The lter is full or dirty: simply clean it.
• The lter is clogged: clean it with an acidic soluon (spirit vinegar, for example),
or replace it where necessary.
• Even though the water seems clear, microscopic algae are present in your
pool, they are not visible to the naked eye, and they make the sides slippery
and prevent the cleaner from climbing. Carry out shock chlorinaon and slightly
reduce the pH. Do not leave the cleaner in the water during shock treatment.
If the problem connues contact your retailer
The cleaner does not move on
start-up.
• Check that the outlet to which the control box is connected is receiving a
power supply.
• Check that the cleaning cycle has been launched and that the light is on.
If the problem connues contact your retailer
The cable gets tangled
The cleaner doesn't clean the enre
pool
The cleaner's discharge nozzles
become blocked
• Check that you place as much of the oang cable as possible in the water.
• Stop the lter pump and begin a new cleaning cycle.
• Place the control box halfway along the length of the pool, in accordance with
the safety condions, see “3.4 I Electricity supply connecons”. If cleaning is not
opmal, vary the locaon of the control box and the place at which the cleaner
enters the pool.
The control box does not respond
to any buon presses.
• Unplug the cable from the mains socket, wait 10 seconds and plug it back in
again.
The robot does not lt upwards to
climb the walls
• The brush is worn: check the wear indicators “4.4 I Replacing the brush”
and that the brush is properly aached to its brush support. Replace the brush
where necessary.
• The pool is led with a right angle between the oor and the walls: the brush
may require adaptaon to opmise cleaning: contact your retailer
The cleaner climbs the walls slowly
and stops under the water line
The cleaner climbs the walls
quickly and goes past the water
line, aspirang air
• The cleaner may behave dierently depending on the lining of the pool. A
parameter may require changing. To do this, contact your retailer
EN
16
5.2 I User alerts
Flashing LED: Soluons
• Check that the cleaner is correctly connected to the control box.
If necessary, unplug it and reconnect it following the appropriate
procedure.
