Preparation; Care And Maintenance - Steinbach RX 5 Mode D'emploi

fore turning it on (air bubbles stop coming out of the cleaner, and
it stays on the pool fl oor properly). Do not try to move the fl oats
along the cable. Always leave them in the original position. Before
turning on the cleaner, please ensure the fl oat cable can move
freely to avoid any entanglement. In the worst case, entangle-
ment may lead to damage of the cleaner, and affect the cleaning
effi ciency. After every use, the fi lter holder incl. fi lter bag must be
cleaned immediately. This stops soiled fi lter bags affecting normal
operation of the cleaner. If the cleaner is not being used, it should
be kept in a well ventilated, dark room. Avoid direct sunlight.
During operation, the control box/power supply should be kept
in the shade. The control box/power supply must not be covered,
in order to avoid possible damage and / or overheating. Motors
and other electrical parts must only be opened and repaired by
an expert. Otherwise any claims under guarantee will be rendered
invalid immediately. Only use the cleaner in the operational areas
and under the conditions specifi ed in these instructions.
Caution: Before removing the cleaner from the pool, make sure
that the electricity is fully switched off.
Placement of the power pack
The cleaner's power pack should be place in an appropriate posi-
tion, so that it can reach all the corners and both ends of the pool.
For safety reasons, the power pack should be placed at least 3.5m
from the swimming pool edge. See Fig. 1
Attach the power supply with the included safety line (fi g. 24).
Caution: The power pack should be kept in a shaded are during
operation.

Preparation

Place the cleaner into the water, while holding onto the hanging ring
(Fig, 5). Once all the air has escaped from the cleaner (Fig, 6), (the
cleaner must be completely free of air, otherwise normal operation
will be affected), it will sink to the bottom on its own.
Caution: For optimal performance, make sure that there is no more
air in the cleaner (air bubbles stop coming out of the cleaner, and it
stays on the pool fl oor properly).
Connecting the power source
When the cleaner is completely on the pool fl oor (Fig. 8-10), take the
power cable, roll it out fully and push the plug into the socket on the
power supply. Then connect the cable to the socket (Please
note when connecting cables that the plugs are in the right direction
and position in relation to each other), and tighten the nuts on both
sides. Connect the mains cable to the power source. The swimming
pool cleaner is now ready for use.
Starting automatic operation, fi gure 11
Press the ON/OFF button to turn on the operating unit. Select the desi-
red cleaning time by pressing the CYCLE button. The automatic pool
cleaner will immediately start cleaning your pool and will turn off once
the selected cleaning time has elapsed.

Care and maintenance

The cleaner turns itself off automatically after a cleaning cycle. Unplug
the mains cable, gently pull the cable, and lift the cleaner out of the
water using the ring on the clamp nut.
Caution:
When lifting the cleaner out of the water, you must ensure that the
cleaner does not hit the side of the pool wall, otherwise you may dam-
age
both the cleaner and the liner.
Before the cleaner clears the surface of the water, it must be held
there for 10 to 15 seconds, so that most of the water can fl ow out of
the water outlet into the pool. Only then should you put the cleaner on
the edge of the swimming pool. Fig. 12
It is important to place the cleaner near the edge of the pool, then
open the cover screws and remove the housing cover. Now take out
the fi lter unit and remove the fi lter bag.
When cleaning the fi lter bag, you must remove the dirt from the outside
of the bag with clean water. Fig. 14. Then put the bag back in. As
a water outlet with fi lter is built into the cleaner, some dirt may remain
in the cleaner, which should also be rinsed out. Then you should put
the fi lter unit back in completely along the motor.
Caution: There is a positioning pin on the top of the fi lter housing,
please do not mount this incorrectly! Fig. 15.
After mounting the housing cover, the cover screws must be re-fi tted.
Caution: To avoid any negative effect on the performance of the
cleaner, make sure that the cover is properly attached to the base
housing. To avoid any damage, please make sure that the cable is in
the correct position. Fig. 16.
Instructions for mounting the 4 locking plates on
the cover
For pools with steps we recommend fi tting locking plates to the cover.
These locking plates stop the cleaner from tipping.
Attach the stabiliser as shown in the photo. Fig. 22
Screw the screw in through the hole in the cover and tighten. Fig. 23.
Tighten the stabiliser with a Philips screwdriver.
Hints and tips
Every time the cleaner is taken out of the water, the fi lter cleaner must
be cleaned.
Make sure the pH value of the water is between 7.0 and 7.2.
Make sure the water temperature is between 12Å° C and 32° C.
After every clean, the drive train must be thoroughly cleaned to ensure
the same level of grip on the next clean.
After pressing the "Power Off" button, the "Power On" button cannot
be pressed for 30 seconds.
We recommend keeping the cleaner between 5ÅãC and 40ÅãC in a
shaded, well ventilated place. The mains cable should be coiled
around the cable holder for storage. (The fl oats must not be pushed
along the cable to ensure the cable fl oats properly in the water.) Avoid
direct sunlight at all times.
We recommend attaching the operating unit with a safety rope, to
avoid any risk of the power pack being pulled into the pool.
Before use, please read the instructions relating to trouble-shooting
thoroughly.
