GETTING STARTED
IMPORTANT NOTE: Fully charge the electric vacuum for 7-8 hours before using it for the first time.
Charging the battery
NOTE: It requires an USB charging adaptor (not provided) with a safety output of 5.0V DC and 1.0A.
For EU market, a CE-certificated USB charging adaptor shall be used.
For US and Canada market, limited power source (LPS) or Class 2 type adaptor certificated by North America
standards (such as UL 60950-1, CSA C22.2 No. 60950-1, UL 1310 and C22.2 No. 223) shall be used.
OPERATION
Immerse the electric vacuum into water until water level reaches the switching knob.
Follow the direction of marking “ I ” to switch the knob clockwise until it comes to a
halt (you will hear a ‘click” and a green dot will be exposed), the electric vacuum will
begin to work immediately.
EMPTYING THE FILTER
WARNING! Using the electric vacuum without a filter cage in place will VOID your warranty.
In order to maximize the cleaning efficiency of the cleaner, be sure to clean the filter cage before and after each use.
CAUTION! If the electric vacuum is charging, disconnect the USB charging adaptor from the power source and detach the electric vacuum
from the USB charging cable before making any attempts to clean it.
Emptying filter cage
WARNING! Power off the electric vacuum by turning the switching knob anticlockwise until it stops.
NOTE: Water may remain inside the transparent tube and the
pole after each use. To remove the water, lift the electric
vacuum from the pool or spa with the nozzle facing down
to allow the water to drain.
1. Press side tabs simultaneously and remove the
suction nozzle from the tube collar. (Fig.1)
2. Grasp the plastic area at the base of the filter cage
(DO NOT GRASP THE FILTER CAGE SCREEN).
Pull to remove it from the suction nozzle. (Fig.2)
Rinse the filter cage with water to remove any debris caught inside.
If brushing is deemed necessary, use only a soft brush to clean it
gently and carefully.
3. Install the filter cage back to suction nozzle. Reverse the steps in point 2 to re-install the filter cage to the suction nozzle. Make sure to
align the raised notches on the inside of the filter cage opening to the notches under the suction head at first.
4. Insert the suction nozzle (installed with filter cage) into the tube collar until it is in a locking position. You will hear a “click” sound.
CAUTION! Replace a damaged filter bag / filter cage with a new one before initiating the next operation.
MAINTENANCE & STORAGE
NOTE:
1.
Battery discharges on its own during storage. The battery should be stored at room temperature, charged to about 30% to 50% of its capacity.
2.You must recharge the battery at least once every three months if it is not frequently used.
•Disconnect all USB charging peripherals.
•Detach all accessories from the electric vacuum. If necessary, rinse the electric vacuum and accessories with fresh water. DO NOT use
detergent.
•Be sure to drain the water from the electric vacuum before storing it.
•Use a damp cloth to clean and dry the electric vacuum and its accessories.
•Store them in a well-ventilated area away from the sunlight, children, heat, ignition sources, and pool chemicals. Ambient temperature for
storage should be 10˚C – 25˚C (50˚F – 77˚F). NOTE: A higher temperature may reduce the battery life during storage.
WARNING!
- Under no circumstances should you attempt to disassemble the electric vacuum and replace the impeller, motor and battery
by yourself.
CAUTION!
• Excessive heat can damage the battery and reduce the lifespan of your electric vacuum as a result.
• Consult your dealer regarding battery replacement if the following happens:
- Battery appears damaged or will not charge fully.
- Battery operation time is noticeably reduced. Observe and record the run times of the first few operations (on a full charge). Use these
run times as a reference point to compare with run times of older batteries.
• The battery must be removed from the electric vacuum before it is scrapped.
• The electric vacuum must be disconnected from the supply mains when the battery is being removed.
• The battery is to be disposed safely in accordance with local ordinances or regulations.
NOTE: Incorrect maintenance may reduce the battery life and affect its capacity as a result.
BATTERY DISPOSAL
Your electric vacuum’s battery is a maintenance-free, rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack, which must be disposed properly. Recycling is
required; please contact your local authorities for more information.
WARNING!
Never attempt to disassemble a battery pack
• Be sure to remove all personal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches before you unwire the battery pack from
the electric vacuum.
• A battery can produce a short circuit current high enough to weld a ring (or similar items) to metal, potentially causing a severe
burn in the process.
• Wear complete eye protection, gloves, and protective clothing before you remove the battery pack.
• Avoid touching the wires altogether and avoid allowing them to make contact with any metal items, which could cause sparking
and/or short-circuit the battery.
• Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of the battery or the electric vacuum.
• Do not expose the battery to fire or intense heat as this may result in an explosion.
CAUTION!
If a battery leak occurs, avoid contact with the leaking fluids and place the damaged battery in a plastic bag.
- If leaking fluids come in contact with skin and clothing, wash immediately with plenty of soap and running water.
- If leaking fluids come in contact with eyes, immediately flush them with cool, running water for at least 15 minutes and do not rub them.
Seek medical attention immediately.
CAUTION
• DO NOT cover the side slot (middle gap) of the electric vacuum during operation, the impeller / motor may be damaged otherwise.
• Remove the electric vacuum from the pool/spa as soon as cleaning is complete.
CAUTION! Make sure the electric vacuum is always pointing downwards when it is placed into the pool. Otherwise, the pole connector may
be bent and damaged as a result.
To retrieve the electric vacuum from the pool / spa, lift the electric vacuum while pointing it downwards in order to allow water to discharge.
Rinse the electric vacuum with fresh water after every use. DO NOT use any detergent.
1. Place the unit on a flat surface. Set the vacuum to
Power Off/ Charging position by turning the switching knob
anticlockwise until it stops and completely exposes the
charging port. Align and insert the USB charging cable into
the charging port.
2. Connect the USB charging cable to the charging adaptor, then plug the charging adaptor into the power source.
Once the electric vacuum begins to charge, the indicator light will turn red. Normally, it takes about 4.5 - 6 hours
to reach a full charge. The indicator light will turn green once the electric vacuum is almost fully charged.
NOTE
• Always disconnect the USB charging adaptor from the power source as soon as charging is complete.
•
Immediately turn the power off and disconnect the USB charging adaptor from the power source if you detect any
of the following conditions:
- Offensive or unusual odor
- Excessive heat
- Deformation, cracks, leaks
- Smoke
3. When charging is complete, disconnect the charging adaptor from the power source and unplug the USB cable
from the adaptor and electric vacuum.
Normally, the electric vacuum can operate up to 30 minutes on a full charge (after 4.5-6 hours of charging)
Note: Clean the filter regularly. Excessive debris inside the filter will increase burden to the motor operation and
shorten the operating duration as a result.
NOTE: Rechargeable lithium-ion battery is classified as a consumable item. It has a limited life and will gradually
lose its capacity to hold a charge. Therefore, the running time of the electric vacuum will gradually reduce after
repeated charging and discharging throughout its product life.
NOTE: Let the electric vacuum rest for 30 to 40 minutes before charging it again.
WARNING!
•Do not use the USB charging cable / USB charging adaptor if any damage is detected.
•Make sure both the electric vacuum and the ch port are clean and dry before charging them.
•Refer to the instruction manual of USB charging adaptor (not included) for instructions concerning safety
and operation.
