[Using the Cleaner]
Charge your cleaner
Make sure charging port is dry.
Turn on
Step 1: Keep it still on level ground.
Step 2: Select cleaning mode.
- Standard Cleaning Mode: If you haven't cleaned your pool for a long time, or your pool is very dirty and you want to clean all pool surfaces, feel free to use Standard Cleaning Mode.
- Floor Only Mode: If you clean your pool on a regular basis and only want to clean floor, feel free to use Floor Only Mode for daily cleaning.
Step 3: Don't move the cleaner before the indicator flashes yellow.
Indicator light status description: The diagram shows indicator lights. A legend indicates: [Power] Off/On, Standard Cleaning Mode, Floor Only Mode.
Into the pool
Submerge the cleaner in the pool as soon as the indicator starts flashing yellow.
Make sure charge cap is fully tightened.
Hold it in water for a few seconds as it releases air trapped in it. Keep it steady and do not tilt.
Release. It takes about 1-2 minutes to complete the self-test and start the cycle.

[Clean the filter]
Clean the filter
Step 1: Press and pull the filter basket.
Step 2: Remove the filter basket from the cleaner.
Step 3: Clean the filter basket.
It is highly recommended to clean the filter basket after each cleaning cycle.
Note: Do not let the filter basket dry out before cleaning. Clogged filters will affect the overall cleaning performance of your cleaner by making it difficult to create suction or keep dirt and debris in the filter basket. Replace the filter basket when the cleaning results are not satisfying and cleaning the filter does not make a difference.
Step 4: Rinse the filter basket.
Diagram description: Shows the process of removing, cleaning, and rinsing the filter basket.
[INDICATOR LIGHTS]
1. Schematic diagram of the indicator lights.
Diagram description: A line diagram showing Function indicator lights at both ends and Battery indicator lights in the middle.
2. What is the meaning of the battery indicator lights in a cleaning cycle?
During the working process, the number of green lights gradually decreases. When there is only one red light left, it is in low power mode. The cleaner needs charging.
Diagram description: A series of light indicators showing green lights decreasing, and finally one red light.
3. What do the battery indicator lights mean when charging?
When charging, the number of green lights will increase from 1 to 11, and the outermost two lights will flash until fully charged. When all 11 lights turn green, charging is complete. All lights will turn off after 10 mins.
Diagram description: A series of light indicators showing green lights increasing and flashing outer lights during charging.
4. When should the cleaner be submerged in the pool?
When the two outer function indicator lights are blue, and the two inner ones are flashing yellow, the cleaner must be submerged in the pool as soon as possible.
Diagram description: Shows indicator lights with blue outer lights and flashing yellow inner lights.
5. What's the meaning of the white function indicator lights in a cleaning cycle?
- Advance/Reverse: 4 lights lit
- Turn left: 2 left lights flash
- Turn right: 2 right lights flash
- Stop: 4 lights off
Diagram description: Shows different light patterns for Advance/Reverse, Turn left, Turn right, and Stop.
6. Cleaner fails to initialize.
When the two inner function indicator lights turn red, you need to turn off the cleaner, place it on a level ground and then restart it.
7. Over-temperature protection when charging.
When over-temperature protection is activated during charging, the two outermost lights turn red until the power is cut off and the temperature is lowered below the set value. Let it sit for about 20mins and continue charging in shaded areas.
Diagram description: Shows indicator lights turning red during over-temperature protection.
8. Motor is stuck when cleaner is working underwater.
- Left motor is stuck: Cleaner stops and left function lights flash red.
- Right motor is stuck: Cleaner stops and right function lights flash red.
- Both left and right motors are stuck: Cleaner stops and all function lights flash red at the same time.
- Pump motor is stuck: Cleaner stops and function lights flash red in turn.
