Use

Start cleaning

The robot will automatically move to the edge of the pool once cleaning is complete or when the battery level is below 10%.

Automatic parking

1. Press the power button for 2 seconds to turn on the robot.
2. Short press the power button to select cleaning mode.
3. When the battery indicator flashes quickly, simply place the robot in the water, and it will start working automatically.

To remove the robot from the pool, attach a standard pole (not included) to the retrieval hook and use it to lift the robot out of the water.

Filter Maintenance:

1. Hold the robot upright to drain the water.
2. Open the filter cover and remove the filter from the robot.
3. Remove all dirt from the filter and rinse it with clean water using a hose. If the filter is very dirty, clean it with soapy water and a soft-bristled brush.
4. Put the filter back into the robot and close the lid properly for the next cleaning process. Place the robot in a dry place and allow it to dry completely. Do not expose the robot to direct sunlight.

Maintenance and upkeep

Filter basket (replace if necessary)

Battery Usage and Maintenance Information

The battery in this device is a consumable component and is subject to natural wear over time. Its capacity will gradually decrease with use. To maximize battery lifespan, please follow these guidelines:

Operating Temperatures

This device should only be operated within the specified temperature limits. Extreme temperatures, both high heat and extreme cold, can significantly impact battery performance and lifespan. While the battery is designed to function within its operational range, prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures should be avoided.

Factors Affecting Battery Capacity

• Temperature: High temperatures accelerate the chemical aging process of the battery.
• Charging habits: Frequent partial discharges and incomplete charges can reduce long-term capacity.
• Deep discharge: The battery should not be fully discharged, as this significantly shortens its lifespan.
• Storage conditions: Long periods of inactivity with a completely discharged battery can lead to deep discharge, rendering the battery unusable.

Charging and Storage Guidelines

• Before long-term storage, charge the battery to at least 80%.
• Store the device in a dry place with an ambient temperature between 18 and 25°C (64-77°F).
• Exposure to extreme cold or heat during storage can cause permanent battery degradation.

By following these best practices, you can preserve the battery's performance and extend its lifespan.
