3. Initial Placement in Pool
Once charged and connected, carefully lower the WINNY B1 into the pool. It is designed to be lightweight (14.3 lbs) for easy handling. Ensure it settles flat on the pool floor.
Note: The package may include flotation blocks. These are typically used to adjust buoyancy for specific pool types or conditions. Refer to the app or WINNY support for guidance on their use if needed.
Operating Instructions
1. Cleaning Modes and Navigation
The WINNY B1 features smart navigation with 5 selectable modes, adaptable to various pool layouts. Use the app to select your desired cleaning mode:
- Floor Cleaning: Focuses on the pool floor, efficiently removing debris.
- Wall Cleaning: Climbs pool walls to scrub and clean the waterline.
- Full Coverage: Cleans both the floor and walls for a comprehensive clean.
- Quick Clean: A 1-hour option for lighter maintenance.
- Spot Cleaning: For targeted cleaning of specific areas (if available via app).
The cleaner is equipped with extra bottom roller brushes for superior traction, allowing it to glide over drains, seams, and uneven floors without interruption. Dual front side brushes ensure precise cleaning of edges and corners.

2. Runtime
The WINNY B1 provides up to 100 minutes of continuous cleaning on a full charge, suitable for pools up to 1150 sq. ft. The 1-hour quick clean mode is ideal for routine maintenance.
Maintenance
1. Filter Basket Cleaning
After each cleaning cycle, or when the filter basket is full, it is essential to clean it. The WINNY B1 features a large, top-loading filter basket for easy access.
- Carefully remove the cleaner from the pool. The quick-drain design allows water to exit rapidly, reducing weight.
- Open the top access compartment.
- Remove the filter basket.
- Rinse the collected leaves, sand, hair, and debris from the basket using a garden hose.
- Reinsert the clean filter basket and securely close the top access compartment.

2. Software Updates (OTA)
The WINNY B1 supports Over-The-Air (OTA) firmware updates. Ensure your cleaner is connected to the app and has a stable internet connection to receive updates that improve performance and add new features. Check the app regularly for available updates.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Cleaner not moving or stuck. | Debris caught in brushes or wheels; low battery. | Remove cleaner from pool, inspect and clear any obstructions. Recharge the unit. |
| Poor cleaning performance. | Full or dirty filter basket; incorrect cleaning mode selected. | Clean the filter basket thoroughly. Select a more appropriate cleaning mode via the app (e.g., Full Coverage). For very fine silt, a second cleaning cycle may be beneficial. |
| Cleaner not climbing walls effectively. | Low battery; specific pool surface material (e.g., acrylic) may reduce traction. | Ensure the unit is fully charged. Wall climbing performance can vary with pool surface types. Ensure brushes are clean and not worn. |
| App connection issues. | Weak Wi-Fi signal; Bluetooth off; app not updated. | Ensure strong Wi-Fi signal near the pool. Verify Bluetooth is active on your device. Update the WINNY app to the latest version. |
| Difficulty opening filter compartment latch. | Latch mechanism may be stiff. | Apply firm, even pressure to the latch. If persistent, contact customer support. |
