BUBLUE BuHybrid L6 Robotic Pool Cleaner User Manual
Model: C20H
Introduction
The BuHybrid L6 Robotic Pool Cleaner is an innovative device that supports both corded and cordless operation for automatic pool cleaning. It effortlessly cleans the pool floor and pool wall by capturing floating debris and sediment with its advanced filtration system. This unit is powered by a lithium-ion battery pack and is also equipped with an external power unit that serves as the external power supply. Therefore, when operating with the cord, this cleaner is powered by the external power supply, offering high-power and long-duration cleaning. When operating without the cord, this cleaner runs on its battery pack, working efficiently with great flexibility and convenience. Additionally, the cleaner can be simultaneously charged when operating with the cord. It can be charged more quickly by the cord when it's not operating.
Before using this product, please take a moment to read through this manual to ensure optimal performance.

Important Safety Instructions
Please read and follow the instructions below:
- Do not use BuHybrid L6 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 accessories recommended or sold by the manufacturer.
- This cleaner is not intended for children 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, please secure the external power unit (power box plus power cord) in a rain-protected area during use to keep it dry and to avoid it being pulled or dragged into the pool.
- This cleaner does not come with a separate charger; the external power unit functions as the charger.
- This cleaner can be used with or without cord. When a cordless cleaning cycle is completed, please turn off the cleaner (make sure the indicator light is completely off) before removing it from the water. Allow the area around the cord port to dry before connecting the power cord.
- The external power unit must be plugged into a socket with leakage protection, and the socket's ground wire must be properly and reliably grounded.
- It is strictly forbidden to use any other power source to charge the cleaner or use its power unit to charge other battery-powered devices, as this may damage the cleaner or the power unit.
- Do not repeatedly plug and unplug the power supply while the cleaner is operating, as this may cause damage to the unit.
- Do not allow anyone to enter the water while the cleaner is operating to avoid potential hazards.
- Do not turn the cleaner on when it's placed on land/not in the 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.
- The motor oil seal contains lubricant. In the event of a lubricant leak, it may cause light water contamination.
- 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 open flames or under extreme heat, and do not use or store the cleaner near heat sources.
Safety Guidelines
- When the cleaner is connected to the power cord, the unit will begin charging when the power box is turned on. When the cleaner is operating while charging, it is essential to ensure that the cord is tightly connected to the cleaner's cord port.
- Operate the cleaner in an environment with temperatures between 50°F and 95°F (10°C to 35°C).
- When operating without the cord, please connect the power unit (power cord plus power box) to charge the cleaner before its battery is fully depleted.
- When operating without the cord, be sure to tightly secure the waterproof cap on the cord port.
- Charge the cleaner in an environment with a temperature between 5°C and 35°C. If the battery is overheated, allow it to cool down before charging.
- Charge the cleaner every three months when storing it for an extended period. Please only use the original charger (the power unit) to charge the cleaner. Using any other charger is strictly prohibited. Ensure the cleaner's battery remains between 40% and 60%. If the cleaner is left uncharged for a long time, its battery may self-discharge to a level below the over-discharge protection voltage, which, if prolonged, can cause irreversible damage to the battery. Please pay close attention to this.
