Section 2.  Getting Started

2.1  General Specifications 

The general specifications for the cleaner are as follows: 

Control box 

supply  

voltage 

 

220-240 VAC, 50 Hz; short circuit-proof 

safety isolating type 

Supply voltage

30 V DC

Installed load

150 W max

Cable length

15m (50 ft)

Cleaner size 

(WxDxH)

41 x 42 x 25 cm

Weight of Cleaner

9 kg

Filtration 

All-purpose filter canister

Cycle lengths

Variable programming

 

The cleaner power supply is double-insulated. A 

double-insulated electrical appliance is one which has 

been designed in such a way that it does not require a 

safety connection to ground. Therefore, devices having 

double-insulated construction, such as this cleaner, do 

not require a grounded (three-prong) plug.

2.2  Recommendations for Use

•  When the pool is dirty, 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 with the 

following characteristics:  chlorine < 3 ppm;  

pH 6.8 - 7.6; temperature 15° C - 35° C.

•  Fully submerge the cleaner before beginning the 

cleaning cycle.

•  Start by launching several Floor only mode cleaning 

cycles.

•  Never cover the control box while the cleaner is in 

operation.

•  You can operate the filter pump during a cleaning 

cycle; any particles in suspension will be filtered 

out. However, it is advised to start cleaning with the 

filter pump off.

•  If part of the pool is not cleaned properly, change 

the launch point of the cleaner. 

•  Launch the cleaner with enough floating cable 

to cover the widest distance of the pool to avoid 

tangling.

•  An average three cycles per week of the cleaner 

means your pool will always be clean and the filter 

less clogged.

2.3 Unpacking

The packaging should contain the following items:
•  Robotic cleaner and floating power cable
•  Control unit with power cord
