* This cleaner u lizes a double-insulated construc on. An appliance which uses such construc on is one that has been
designed in such a way that it does not require an earth/ground connec on between the appliance and its power
supply. This type of construc on helps mi gate exposure of the user to poten ally hazardous electrical condi ons
without relying on an earthed (grounded) metal enclosure. It incorporates the use of two layers of insula ng material
surrounding the live electrical parts or by using reinforced insula on. Through the use of this type of double-insulated
construc on, this cleaner does not u lized or require a grounded (three-prong) cord/plug.

❸ General use
3.1 I Opera ng principle
The cleaner is independent of the fi ltra on system and can therefore operate autonomously. It just simply needs to be
connected to the mains power supply.
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: bo om, walls, water line). Debris is collected and held in the cleaner's fi lter.
The cleaner may be operated using one of the following methods:
- The control box, included with the robo c cleaner system,
- A smartphone or tablet which is 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 one which is built into the ground or on
the ground and cannot be easily dismantled and stored.
• The device must operate in pool water of the following quality:
Water temperature Between 15°C and 35°C
pH Between 6.8 and 7.6
Chlorine < 3 mg per L
• When the pool is dirty, especially when commissioning, remove the larger debris using a net in order to op mise the
device's performance.
• Remove any thermometers, toys and other objects that might damage the device.
3.3 I Immersing the cleaner in the pool water
• Roll out the full length of the cable alongside the pool to prevent it from becoming entangled 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.
• Lower the cleaner ver cally into the water (see image ).
• Move it slightly in all direc ons so that any air trapped in it can escape (see image ).
• It is essen al that the device sinks on its own and se les on the pool bo om. When it is immersed, the cleaner draws
the length of cable it needs into the pool (see image ).

3.4 I Electrical supply connec ons
To prevent risk of electrocu on, fi re, or serious injury, be sure to adhere to the following:
• The use of an electrical extension cord is prohibited when connec ng the control unit.
• Make sure that the socket is easily accessible at all  mes and is protected from rain or splashes.
• The control box is splash-proof but must not be immeresed in water or any 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.
• Posi on the control unit close to the socket.
• Unscrew the protec ve cap (see image ).
• Connect the fl oa ng cable to the control unit and lock it into place by turning it clockwise (risk of 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 mains cable (see image ). The control unit should only be connected to a power outlet protected by a
30mA maximum, Residual Current Device (RCD) (if in doubt contact a qualifi ed technician).
