TROUBLESHOOTING

5.1. The cleaner does not stay firmly on the pool bottom

There is air in the appliance casing. Repeat the immersion operations strictly complying with the instructions in
the "Cleaner immersion" (§2.2)

5.2. The cleaner does not or no longer climbs the pool sides

This may have two causes:
x The filter basket is full or dirty: all you need to do is clean it;
x Although the water seems clear, microscopic algae, invisible to the human eye, are present in the pool. As a
result the pool sides become slippery and prevent the cleaner from climbing. Carry out a shock chlorination
treatment and slightly reduce the pH. Do not leave the cleaner in the pool during this treatment.

5.3. On start up the cleaner does not move

x Check that the outlet to which the control box is connected is receiving a power supply.
x Check that you have started one of the two programmes, check that the indicator for the selected
programme is lit.
If the problem persists contact your retailer.

5.4. The programme I and programme II indicators flash alternately

x Disconnect the power supply and wait 20 seconds before reconnecting the control box.
x Check that no debris impedes the rotation of the brushes and/or the propeller.
x Clean the filter.
x Start a new cleaning programme. If the problem continues contact your retailer.
The flashing lights are an indication of problems with the control unit and/or the cleaner but are not necessarily
indicative of a major problem with the unit and can sometimes resolve themselves.
To remove the flashing light, press the button
x If the cleaner runs normally for around 5 minutes, it was a minor troubleshooting error.
x If the flashing light persists, check the cleaner with following procedure first.
x After this check, if the flashing light persists, please contact your retailer.
In any case, don't open the control unit.
