Important Safety Instructions
- Do not use this C10 or C10P Robotic Pool Cleaner (hereafter referred to as the "cleaner") under conditions that exceed its operating limits. Before use, please carefully read this manual and strictly follow the instructions. BUBLUE will not be liable for any losses or injuries caused by improper use.
- Use only genuine or recommended accessories.
- This cleaner is not intended for children under 8 years old or individuals with mental impairments. If necessary, it should be used under the supervision of a guardian. Do not allow children to sit on or play with the product as a toy.
- To prevent accidents, remove the cleaner from the pool before charging, and the charger and the cleaner must be placed indoors or in a shower prevention facility for charging. Before charging, ensure that the cleaner and the charging stand are dry.
- Always use the original charger to charge the cleaner.
- After removing the cleaner from the water, dry the area around the charging port before connecting the charger. Ensure the unit is completely powered off (the indicator light should be off) before charging; otherwise, charging may fail.
- The charger must be plugged into a socket equipped with leakage protection, and the socket's ground connection must be properly secured and reliable.
- Do not use any other charger to charge the battery box, and do not use this charger for other battery devices to avoid damaging the charger or the cleaner.
- When charging the cleaner, avoid repeatedly plugging and unplugging the charger to prevent damage to the unit.
- Keep people out of the pool while the cleaner is operating to avoid potential danger.
- Never power on the cleaner when it is out of water, as this may affect its normal operation.
- Clean the filter basket after each use to prevent excess debris from affecting the cleaner's performance.
- Store the cleaner in a cool, ventilated indoor area when not in use, avoiding direct sunlight.
- Only trained professionals should disassemble the cleaner's sealed box assembly to avoid danger or damage to the unit.
- Recharge the cleaner before the battery is completely exhausted. When the product's power decreases, stop using it and recharge it.
- The motor contains grease that may leak and causes light water contamination if a leak occurs.
- Do not puncture the cleaner's shell with nails or sharp objects, and avoid hammering, striking, or throwing the unit.
- Do not charge the cleaner near a fire or under extreme heat conditions! Avoid using or storing the cleaner near heat sources.
3. Safety Guidelines
- Charging: To avoid accidents, always remove the cleaner from the pool before charging. Ensure that both the cleaner and the charger are charged indoors or in a covered area protected from rain. Before charging, make sure the cleaner and the charging dock are completely dry.
- Do Not Operate While Charging: The cleaner should not be turned on while charging.
- Operating Temperature: Use the cleaner in environments with temperatures between 50°F and 95°F (10°C to 35°C).
- Charging Temperature: Charge the cleaner in environments with temperatures between 41°F and 95°F (5°C to 35°C). If the battery becomes too hot, allow it to cool down before charging.
- Charge Before the Battery is Fully Depleted: When you notice the cleaner losing power, stop using it and charge the battery.
- Avoid Overcharging: Don't charge the cleaner if the battery is already full, as this can reduce the battery's lifespan.
- Long-term Storage: If you plan to store the cleaner for an extended period, charge it every three months. Ideally, use the original charger to maintain the battery at around 40%-60% capacity. If the battery is not charged for a long time, its voltage may drop too low, leading to permanent damage.

5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Cleaner Setup
Begin by positioning the cleaner with its bottom facing the pool wall as you lower it into the water using the handle. Turn on the cleaner, allowing it to gradually release any trapped air. After about 20 seconds, once all the air has been expelled, the cleaner will start operating. (Ensuring that all air is expelled is crucial for proper functionality.) Allow the cleaner to naturally settle at the bottom of the pool.

5.2 Retrieval & Battery Charging
After the cleaner finishes its cycle, it will automatically park near the pool wall. Use a hook to retrieve it from the water.
Ensure the cleaner is powered off (the indicator light should be completely off). When charging, place both the cleaner and the charger indoors or in a sheltered area to protect them from water exposure. During charging, the green light will flash; when it stays solid green, charging is complete.
