❸ Use
3.1 I Operating principle
The cleaner is separate from the filtration system and can function independently. It simply needs connecting to the
mains.
It finds the best route to move around and clean the areas of the pool for which it has been designed (depending on the
model: bottom, walls, water line). Debris is sucked in and stored in the cleaner's filter.
The control box enables the cleaning operations to be started, selected and programmed (depending on the model).
3.2 I Pool preparation
•
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 is built into the ground or on the ground
and cannot be easily dismantled and stored.
•
The appliance must operate in pool water with the following properties:
Water temperature
Between 15°C and 35°C
pH
Between 6.8 and 7.6
Free chlorine
< 3 mg/ l
•
When the pool is dirty, especially when commissioning, remove the largest debris using a net in order to optimise the
appliance's performances.
• Remove any thermometers, toys and other objects that might damage the appliance.
3.3
I
Immersing the cleaner
•
Roll out the full length of the cable alongside the pool to avoid the cable becoming tangled during immersion (see
figure )
.
•
Place the cleaner vertically into the water (see figure ).
•
Move it slightly in all directions so that the air contained in the cleaner escapes (see figure ).
•
It is essential that the appliance sinks on its own and settles on the pool bottom. While it is immersed, the cleaner
draws the length of cable it needs into the pool (see figure ).
