-
Plug in the power supply and leave it in the OFF position.
Putting the Pool Cleaner into the pool
-
Holding the Pool Cleaner upside down in the water, gently rock it back and forth with your fingers holding the plastic doors on the bottom lid open to release trapped air. Continue until no more bubbles are released. Release the Pool Cleaner and let it sink to the floor of the pool. Make sure that the floating cable is free of any obstructions. To avoid kinks in the floating cable, place approximately enough cable in the water for the Pool Cleaner to reach the farthest corner of the pool.

Turn the power supply ON. The Pool Cleaner will now operate until it has reached the end of the cleaning cycle.
Removing the Pool Cleaner from the pool
