Setup
Unpacking and Initial Placement

Power Connection
Connect the floating cable from the robot to the power supply unit. Ensure the connection is secure. Plug the power supply unit into a grounded electrical outlet. Position the power supply unit at least 3.5 meters (11.5 feet) from the edge of the pool and in a shaded area to prevent overheating.
Submerging the Robot
Gently lower the robot into the pool. Allow it to sink to the bottom, releasing any trapped air. Ensure the floating cable is untangled and has enough slack to allow the robot to move freely across the entire pool surface.

Operating Instructions
Starting a Cleaning Cycle
Once the robot is submerged and the power supply is connected, press the power button on the power supply unit or the robot itself (if applicable) to initiate a cleaning cycle. The robot will begin its programmed cleaning path.
Cleaning Modes
The Advanced PRO 600 offers cleaning cycles of 1.5, 2, or 2.5 hours. Select the desired cycle duration based on your pool's size and cleaning needs. The robot will clean the pool floor, walls, and waterline.

Automatic Shut-off
The robot is equipped with an automatic shut-off feature. It will power down automatically once the selected cleaning cycle is complete.
Retrieving the Robot
After the cleaning cycle, disconnect the power supply unit from the electrical outlet. Gently pull the floating cable to bring the robot to the edge of the pool. Use the ergonomic handle to lift the robot out of the water. The quick water release system will help drain water efficiently, reducing the robot's weight.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your BWT Advanced PRO 600.
Filter Cleaning
The robot features a 2-level filter system with fine and ultra-fine mesh baskets. After each cleaning cycle, or as needed, clean the filter baskets:
- Disconnect the robot from the power supply.
- Open the top access cover of the robot.
- Remove the filter baskets.
- Rinse the filter baskets thoroughly with a garden hose until all debris is removed.
- Reinsert the clean filter baskets and close the top access cover securely.
