SPECIFIC FEATURES APPLICABLE TO "Pool cleaners"
• The cleaner is designed to operate properly in pool water at a temperature of
between 15°C and 35°C.
• To avoid possible injury or damage to the cleaner, do not operate the cleaner out
of the water.
• In order to prevent possible injury, bathing is prohibited when your cleaner is in
the pool.
•
Do not use the cleaner during shock chlorination.
•
Do not leave the cleaner unattended for an extended period.
WARNING ON THE USE OF A CLEANER IN A POOL WITH A VINYL SURFACE:
• Before installing your new cleaner, carefully inspect the lining of your pool. If the
liner has eroded in some areas, or if you notice gravel, folds, roots or corrosion
caused by metal beneath the liner, or if you notice that the surface (bottom and
walls) is damaged, do not install the cleaner before performing the necessary repairs
or before having the liner replaced by a qualified professional. The manufacturer
may not be held liable in any way for damage caused to the liner.
•
The surface of certain vinyl patterned surfaces can wear rapidly and the patterns
disappear on contact from objects such as cleaning brushes, toys, inflatable buoys,
chlorine distributors and automatic pool cleaners. The decoration on some vinyl
surfaces can be scratched or worn by basic friction such as through the use of a
pool brush. The colours of certain patterns can also be erased during use or when
in contact with objects in the pool. The manufacturer of the pool cleaner may not
be held liable for the erased patterns, wear or scratching of vinyl surfaces, which
are not covered by the limited warranty.
