CLEANING PROCESS

Due to a change of the water level the level switch will give the controller a signal to start the cleaning process. As the water around the 
level switch can move as “waves”, the controller will only start this process once the level switch will stay in this position for 5 continuous 
seconds (to prevent an ongoing “on/off” signal that would start and stop the motor and cleaning pump for short periods). 
After this delay time of 5 seconds the cleaning process will begin. This process involves 2 actions:
1. The motor to rotate the drum will be activated. Due to the advanced software technology of the controller, the motor will start slowly 
before it reaches its maximum power to prevent that the full torque of the motor is released to the shaft. The motor will reach full power 
after about 2 seconds.
2. The power outlet for the cleaning pump/solenoid valve will be provided with 230V to provide the spray nozzles with water. This will 
rinse off the waste particles that have been collected on the inside of the drum. The dirty water will exit the filter through the waste 
gutter outlet. The cleaning process stops as soon as the level switch has returned to its normal position (plus the eventual extra cleaning 
time as discussed later in this manual).

OPENING THE CONTROLLER 

 

 WARNING! 

Be sure you have removed the power plug from the wall outlet before you open the controller! Not following these  

 

safety precautions can lead to serious injuries through electric shock! You are responsible for opening the controller unit. 

Remove the 6 screws of the controller housing. Carefully open the cover on the top side (opposite from the cables) a little bit. The cable of 
the LED display is still connected (1). Carefully disconnect this cable (2). The cover can now be opened all the way (3).
