The Skimmi often stands still, and cleaning time is reduced

Step by step.

If you often find the Skimmi standing still, and the cleaning time is less than usual, try the following steps:

1. In the MyDolphinSkimmi app, reduce the length of Day Cleaning and extend the Day Pauses in 'Device Settings'.

2. Turn energy-intensive functions off (i.e., Debris Washing = OFF, Speed = Low, Wheels Unblock = OFF)

3. Turn on 'Smart Solar Recharge' in the MyDolphin Skimmi app. Set the 'Start Delay' to at least 1-2 hours.

4. Keep the solar panel clean.

5. Empty the filter tray more often.
