Due to the vast range in the shape and size of different pool steps, it is possible that the cleaner may
encounterdifficultiesincleaningtheseareasofapool.Whentherobotisdescendingalongthepoolwall,it
mayalsocomeawayfromthewall.
Thecleanerlowersitssuctionpowerwhenreversing.Somedebrismaynotbesuctionedduringthisreverse
action.
Ifthecleanersucksinairatthewaterlineasafetymechanismistriggeredanditwillsinkbacktothebottom
afterafewmoments.
Thecleanertendstotipoverandfloatforafewseconds,thisisnotamalfunction,itwillreturntoitsnormal
position.
Ifyourpoolhasanalarmitisstronglyrecommendedthatthepooliswellfilledsothattherobotdoesnot
touchthealarmrepeatedlyanddamageit.
