Safety information
14
− Remove all fragile items (e.g. glass, lamps, vases) and objects
that could become trapped in the brushes or sucked up (e.g.
cords, clothing, newspapers, curtains) from the working area
before operating the appliance.
− Do not cover the sensors and ventilation slots on the wiper
robot.
NOTICE!
Possible damage to the appliance due to abrasion on rough
surfaces.
Some skirting, especially chimneys and ovens, can have a rough,
brushed or grainy anodised, cast iron, steel or metal surface. These
surfaces can act like sandpaper on rubber and plastic surfaces and
damage the surface if coming into contact with the appliance. The
above surfaces themselves can also be damaged by collision with
the appliance.
− Prevent the appliance from colliding with rough, brushed or
grainy surfaces so as to avoid damage. Test the surface by
carefully rubbing a cloth or towel over the area. If this results in
fluff, the area should be excluded from suction so as to avoid a
collision.
CAUTION!
Risk of injury/risk of damage to the appliance!
For reasons of design within a room, it may be possible that the
sensors of the wiper robot do not fully detect stairs and obstacles.
There is the risk of blind spots within which the robot can fall down
stairs or unsecured edges.
− Test in operation whether or not the wiper robot detects stairs
or other obstacles, particularly on very light or white high-gloss
floors.
− If necessary, set up additional barriers to prevent damage to
objects, walls, stairs or the appliance.

Safety information
15
− The stair height must be at least 8 cm.
− Do not stand beneath unsecured edges or stairs when the
appliance is in use.
− Clean the sensors on the wiper robot regularly.
− Do not place the charging station close to heat sources.
Safe handling of batteries/rechargeable batteries
This appliance contains a lithium-ion battery block. The remote
control is operated with two 1.5V batteries of type AAA.
− Do not swallow batteries.
DANGER!
Risk of chemical burns!
If batteries are swallowed, they can cause internal chemical burns,
which may prove fatal within two hours. There is a risk of chemical
burns if battery acid comes into contact with skin.
− Seek medical help immediately if you think that batteries may
have been swallowed or secreted in any part of the body.
− Avoid contact with battery acid. If battery acid comes into
contact with skin, eyes or mucous membranes, rinse the
affected areas with plenty of clean water and consult a doctor
as soon as possible.
− Keep new and used batteries out of the reach of children.
− Stop using the product if the battery compartment does not
close properly, and keep it out of reach of children.
