❹ Troubleshooting
• 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.
• 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 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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 may behave differently depending on the lining of the pool. A
parameter may require changing. To do this, contact your retailer
• Unplug the power cord from the mains socket, wait 10 seconds and plug it
back in again.
