WARNING! Pay attention to all safety warnings in the manual of your
automatic slatted cover concerning this cleaning operation beforehand.
-

compartment is 30cm (12in)
-
Remove the duckboard and unroll the pool slat according to instructions from your
pool cover manual.
-
Detach one extension of the vacuum cleaner before immersing it into the pool.
-
Attach a telescopic pole (not provided) to the pool vacuum handle as instructed in the
manual.

CLEANING THE FILTER BAG/CARTRIDGE FILTER
Remark: Cartridge filter bag is not necessarily included with every model
CAUTION! Make sure the pool vacuum is OFF before cleaning the filter bag/cartridge
filter.
Washing regularly the filter bag and cartridge filter helps to maintain a good suction and
close contact between the vacuum and the pool floor during the operation.
Place the cleaner on a flat surface. Press on the cord fastener to release the bag from the
main body.
It is recommended to wash the filter bag with a water jet after each pool cleaning cycle.
Spray at an angle to get rid of the debris between the pleats of the cartridge filter. Never
use a pressure washer as it will damage the cartridges. To eliminate stubborn dirt or scum
on a clogged filter, wash the filter bag in a washing machine at 30 ˚C (86 ˚F) water
temperature. For cartridge filter, soak it in water with detergent for 2-3 hours, then rinse it
with a water jet. If brushing is deemed necessary, use only a soft brush to clean it carefully
and gently to avoid any damages.
