❹ Troubleshooting

• 

If a problem occurs, before you contact your retailer, please carry out these few simple checks 

using the following tables.

• 

If the problem is not resolved, contact your retailer.

• 

: Actions to be performed by a qualified technician only.

4.1 I  Appliance behaviour

Part of the pool is not correctly 

cleaned

• 

Repeat  the  immersion  steps  (see  §  «  2.1  I    Immersing  the  cleaner  in  the 

pool »), varying the immersion location until you find the right place in the 

pool.

The appliance does not stay firmly 

on the pool bottom

• 

There is still air in the appliance's casing. Repeat the immersion operations 

(see § « 2.1 I  Immersing the cleaner in the pool »).

• 

The filter is full or clogged: clean it with fresh water. If the filter is blocked, 

clean it with an acid solution (spirit vinegar, for example). Replace the filter 

if necessary.

• 

The propeller is damaged: 

The appliance does not or no 

longer climbs the pool sides as it 

originally did.

(Its electronic programme means 

that the appliance does not 

systematically climb the walls).

• 

The filter is full or clogged: clean it with fresh water. If the filter is blocked, 

clean it with an acid solution (spirit vinegar, for example). Replace the filter 

if necessary.

• 

The tyres are worn: replace them.

• 

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 walls slippery 

and prevent the appliance from climbing. Carry out shock chlorination and 

slightly reduce the pH. 

Do not leave the appliance in the water during shock 

treatment.

• 

The  brushes  are  worn:  check  the  wear  indicators  §  «  3.4  I    Replacing  the 

brushes », then turn the brushes to check the rotations. Replace the brushes 

where necessary.

The appliance does not move on 

start-up.

• 

Check that the control box's power socket is receiving a power supply.

• 

Check that a cleaning cycle has been launched and that the lights are on.

The cable gets tangled

• 

Do not unroll the entire length of the cable into the pool.

• 

Place the required length of cable in the pool and spread the rest along the 

side of the pool.

The cleaner's discharge nozzles or 

bottom plug holes become blocked

• 

Stop the filter pump and begin a new cleaning cycle.

• 

Place the control box halfway along the length of the pool, in accordance 

with the safety conditions, see § « 2.3 I  Electricity supply connection ». If 

cleaning is not optimal, vary the location of the control box and the place at 

which the cleaner enters the pool.

The cleaner climbs the walls slowly 

and stops under the water line

The cleaner climbs the walls quickly 

and goes past the water line, 

aspirating air

• 

The cleaner may behave differently depending on the lining of the pool. A 

parameter may require changing. To do this, 

contact your retailer 

The control box does not respond 

to any button presses.

• 

Unplug the power cord from the mains socket, wait 10 seconds and plug it 

back in again.
