Pre-Installation Check List:
Before installing your cleaner, review and understand all warnings and safety information in this guide. Failure to follow these instructions or improper installation of the cleaner can result in damage to the pool fi nish or the vinyl liner, Pentair disclaims any liability for repairs or replacement to any of these structures or components of the customer’s pool.

Before installing the cleaner in a vinyl liner pool:
Check liner closely for signs of deterioration or damage from age, chemicals, pool wall damage, etc. If any damage is found, have a qualified pool professional make all the necessary repairs. Also, if there are stones, roots, etc., under the liner, remove them before installing the cleaner.

Before installing the cleaner in a gunite pool or a pool that is partially or completely tiled:
Repair loose tiles and tighten any loose light rings.

Before installing the cleaner, clean your fi lter system:
Make sure you have cleaned the fi lter, including backwashing, rinsing, and emptying all baskets. A clean system is necessary for proper cleaner operation and coverage.

Before installing the cleaner, understand cleaner coverage:
The cleaner is designed to rid your pool of debris in approximately 4-6 hours. Less time could be needed, depending on the pool size. The cleaner was not designed to automatically clean steps or swimouts or to work under a solar cover. It was also not designed to do initial cleanup for a new pool or when opening your pool for the season.

AFTER installing the cleaner, make sure the cleaner is operating correctly:
The cleaner may need some minor adjustments to make sure it is operating properly so there is no damage to the pool fi nish. Certain vinyl liner patterns are particularly susceptible to surface wear, pattern removal, ink rubbing off of, or serious scratches to the pattern caused by objects coming into contact with the vinyl surface, including automatic pool cleaners. Pentair is not responsible for any pattern removal, abrasions or markings on vinyl liners.

Disclaimer of Liability About your Pool and Cleaner:
There are a multitude of factors that contribute to the life of your pool. These robotic pool cleaners are very passive products that will have no impact on pool life.
Please be aware that over time, deterioration, discoloration and brittleness of any pool fi nish can be caused separately by, or in combination with, age, an imbalance in pool water chemistry, improper installation and other factors. Robotic pool cleaners will not remove or cause wear on “good” pool plaster. In fact, the opposite is true–pool plaster will eventually cause wear on the cleaner.

The same situation holds true for vinyl-lined in-ground swimming pools, because vinyl liners are also affected by the environment and factors such as pool water chemistry, sunlight and the pool’s surroundings. Therefore over time, vinyl can become brittle and weak. In addition, vinyl-lined pools are affected by the workmanship, composition and installation of the liner and the workmanship and quality of construction of the supporting walls and pool base. These are all factors which can contribute to liner failure. The existence of any of these type of conditions in your pool is not caused by the use or operation of the cleaner. The manufacturer disclaims any liability for repairs or replacement to any of these structures or components of the customer’s pool.
The pool owner must assume all responsibility for the condition and maintenance of the pool’s surface, water and deck.

SAFETY

• Connect only to a grounding type receptacle protected by a earth leakage circuit breaker 30mA
• Keep the power supply out of standing water
• Position the power supply at least 3.5 m away from the edge of the pool and 12 cm above ground
• Do not enter the pool while the Pool Cleaner is working
• Unplug the power supply before servicing

WARNING: DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO USE THE CLEANER

MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

• Make sure that no water is left in the Pool Cleaner
• Thoroughly clean the fi lter and let it dry outside of the fi lter canister
• Roll up the cable so that it has no kinks
• Store the Pool Cleaner in a protected area out of direct sun /rain / frost, at a temperature of between 5°-45°C
• DO NOT LUBRICATE

INTRODUCTION

System overview
The robotic cleaner sweeps the pool fl oor and walls collecting dirt and debris in its fi lters. This user manual explains how to operate the robotic cleaner, including cleaning, maintenance and storage procedures. Note: This manual reviews several different models with variations in components.

Robotic cleaner operation
Once the robotic cleaner is placed in the pool and activated, it operates according to its program. It moves along the fl oor and walls of the pool, covering the entire area of the pool fl oor and walls. When it has fi nished its program, it remains inactive on the pool fl oor. Power will automatically shut off. Note: It’s not recommended to stop the pool cleaner prior to cycle end. Note: Wall climbing is an optional feature. When the wall climbing feature is enabled, the robotic cleaner climbs the wall at intervals according to its internal program. Its ability to climb over stairs in swimming pool is subject to stair geometry and material.

Operating conditions
The robotic cleaner is intended for use in residential swimming pools only and in the following conditions: (1) Recommended water temperature 22°C-32°C. (2) Water pH : 7.2 – 7.6 (3) Chlorine level: pool is maintained according to the pool manufacturer’s instructions. (Recommended Chlorine level: 2-4 ppm) Note: Failure to maintain the pool according to the recommended operating conditions could prevent the robotic cleaner from functioning properly.

Components

OPERATION

Placement of the Power Supply
Place the power supply at least 3.5 meters from the pool and at least 12 cm above ground.

CAUTION: The power supply is not water resistant; it must not be exposed to water or to direct sunlight.
Press the plastic snap on the zip ties in order to release the fl oating cable. Use as much cable as needed in the the water.

Before placing the cleaner unit in the water
Make sure there are no people in the pool. Make sure that the fi lters are clean. Make sure the pool conditions are met; (see “Operating Conditions” ).

Placing cleaner in the water
Unroll the fl oating cable. It is recommended to extend a length of cable that is equal to the pool diagonal size plus an additional two meters. Smooth out coils or twists in the cable. Connect the fl oating cable to the socket located on the power supply. Roll extra cable, no in the pool, near the power supply. Place the cleaner unit in the pool. Let it sink to the bottom of the pool. Do not start operation before the robotic cleaner is settled on the pool fl oor.

CAUTION: Operating the cleaner out of water may cause immediate and severe damage resulting in loss of warranty.

Starting the robotic cleaner
Connect the power supply to the wall socket. The on/off button will lit and the robotic cleaner will start its cleaning program. If the power supply is already connected to the wall socket, the on/off button will fl ash to indicate that the robotic cleaner is in standby mode. Press the On/Off button in order to change the above mode (On to Off – standby, or vice versa). Note: if the full fi lter indication light is ON make sure to remove and clean the fi lter prior to putting the cleaner inside the pool water.

Cleaning cycle
During the cleaning cycle, the cleaner: (1) moves across the pool fl oor picking up dirt and debris. (2) Changes direction and rotates automatically according to the selected program. (3) Climbs the pool walls every few minutes, as set in its internal program. Note: The robotic cleaner might occasionally stop moving for a few seconds. This is part of normal operation, not a malfunction.

Stopping robotic cleaner operation
The robotic cleaner moves automatically to ‘standby’ after every cleaning cycle and the on/off button starts fl ashing. To stop the cleaner operation during a cleaning cycle, press the operation button once. On/off button starts fl ashing and the cleaner is in standby mode.
