Mopping with the robot
Types FC8796 and FC8794 come with a mopping attachment and a mopping pad for wet cleaning of
hard floors.
Attaching the mopping pad
1Soak the mopping pad in water or wet the mopping pad under the tap. You can add a few drops of
a readily available floor cleaner that is suitable for your floor.
2Squeeze the mopping pad thoroughly to ensure it is only damp instead of wet.
3Attach the damp mopping pad to the mopping attachment by pushing the Velcro fasteners of the
mopping pad onto Velcro fasteners of the mopping attachment (Fig. 30).
4Insert the attachment lugs of the mopping attachment into the two attachment holes located just
behind the wheels. Then press down until you hear a click (Fig. 31).
Cleaning floors with the mopping attachment
Note: To clean hard floors with the mopping attachment, you have to start the robot from a point in
the room you wish to clean. You cannot start the robot from its docking station with the mopping pad
attached.
1Just press the start/stop button on the remote control to start the robot.
-The robot continues mopping until its battery runs low and the robot stops.
Note: Detach the mopping pad and the mopping attachment before you send the robot to the
docking station with the docking button on the remote control or before you place the robot on the
docking station manually.
Detaching the mopping attachment
1To detach the mopping attachment, press the tab (1) and pull up the mopping attachment to
remove it (2) (Fig. 32).
2Pull the mopping pad off the mopping attachment.
3To clean the mopping pad, wash it in the washing machine on a gentle cycle at a temperature of
60°C max.
Alarm signal
If the robot gets into trouble while cleaning (e.g., because a wheel jams or is no longer in contact with
the floor, or because a sensor can no longer detect the floor), you will hear a sound and the robot
stops. Press the start/stop button to switch the robot to standby mode and solve the problem that
causes the alarm signal, for instance by removing the obstacle that blocks the wheel, cleaning the
sensors, or picking up the robot and putting it down in a different place.
Cleaning and maintenance
Emptying and cleaning the dust container
Empty and clean the dust container when the dust container is full.
1Pull up the handle of the dust container lid and lift the dust container out of the dust container
compartment (Fig. 33).
2Pull the tab on the side of the dust container to open the lid (Fig. 34).
3Remove the filter unit from the dust container (Fig. 35).
4Shake the dust container over a dustbin to empty it (Fig. 36).
