How your robot works
What your robot cleans
This robot is equipped with features that make it a suitable cleaner to help you clean the floors in your
home.
The robot is especially suitable for cleaning hard floors, such as wooden, tiled or linoleum floors. It
may experience problems cleaning soft floors, such as carpet or rugs. If you use the robot on a carpet
or rug, please stay close by the first time to see if the robot can deal with this type of floor. The robot
also needs supervision when you use it on very dark or shiny hard floors.
How your robot cleans
Cleaning system
The robot has a 3-stage cleaning system to clean your floors efficiently.
1 The two side brushes help the robot clean in corners and along walls. They also help to remove dirt
from the floor and move it towards the suction opening (Fig. 5).
2 The suction power of the robot picks up loose dirt and transports it through the suction opening
into the dust container.
3 The robot comes with a dry wipe holder that allows you to clean your hard floor even more
thoroughly with dry wipes.
Cleaning patterns
In its auto cleaning mode, the robot uses a fixed and automatic sequence of cleaning patterns to
clean each area of the room optimally. It uses a Z-pattern (zigzag pattern), random pattern, wall-
following pattern and spiral pattern successively (Fig. 6). It continues to move in this sequence of
patterns to clean the room until the rechargeable battery runs low, or until it is switched off manually.
If the robot detects a particularly dirty area during its cleaning run, it switches to spiral mode and
switches to turbo fan speed to ensure thorough dirt removal.
Note: You can also select each mode individually by pressing the appropriate button on the remote
control (see 'Cleaning mode selection') or on the robot. The manually selected modes are only active
for a couple of minutes. After that, the robot switches back to auto-cleaning mode.
How your robot avoids height differences
The robot has three drop-off sensors in its bottom. It uses these drop-off sensors to detect and avoid
height differences such as staircases (Fig. 7).
Note: It is normal for the robot to move slightly over the edge of a height difference, as its front drop-
off sensor is located behind the bumper.
7
English

Caution: In some cases, the drop-off sensors may not detect a staircase or other height difference
in time. Therefore monitor the robot carefully the first few times you use it, and when you operate it
near a staircase or another height difference. It is important that you clean the drop-off sensors
regularly to ensure the robot continues to detect height differences properly (see 'Cleaning and
maintenance') .
Before first use
Mounting the side brushes
1Unpack the side brushes and place the robot upside down on a table or on the floor.
2Push the side brushes onto the shafts on the bottom of the robot (Fig. 8).
Note: Make sure you attach the side brushes properly. Press them onto the shaft until you hear
them lock into position with a click.
Removing the tag from the remote control
The remote control works on a CR2025 coin-shaped battery. This battery is protected with a
protection tag that has to be removed before use.
1Pull the battery protection tag out of the battery compartment of the remote control. Now the
remote control is ready for use (Fig. 9).
Preparing for use
Installing the docking station
1Insert the small plug of the adapter into the socket on the docking station (1) and insert the adapter
into the wall socket (2) (Fig. 10).
-The display of the docking station comes on.
2Place the docking station on a horizontal, level floor against the wall.
Note: Make sure that there are no obstacles or height differences 80 cm in front, 30 cm to the right
and 100 cm to the left of the docking station (Fig. 11).
Tip: To ensure the docking station stays firmly in the selected spot, fasten it to the wall with screws
or with two strips of double-sided tape.
Important note: deep sleep mode
In deep sleep mode, the robot does not respond at all when you press a button. To reactivate the
robot when it is in deep sleep mode:
1Press the start/stop button on the robot for one second to switch the robot from deep sleep mode
to standby mode.
2Press the start/stop button on the robot (Fig. 17) briefly or press the start/stop button on the
remote control to start cleaning.
3If the robot does not start cleaning, place it on the plugged-in docking station to recharge its
rechargeable battery.
8English

The robot enters deep sleep mode when you press the start/stop button for 5 seconds. It may also
enter the deep sleep mode when its battery is empty. The battery may, for instance, run empty if the
robot is unable to find its docking station.
Charging
When charging for the first time and when the rechargeable battery of the robot is empty, the charging
time is four hours.
Your robot can be charged on the docking station, either manually or automatically during use.
Note: When the rechargeable battery is fully charged, your robot can clean for up to 120 minutes
Charging automatically during use
1When the robot has finished cleaning or when only 15% of the battery power remains, it
automatically searches for the docking station to recharge. When the robot searches for the
docking station, the light in the start/stop button turns orange (Fig. 15).
2When the rechargeable battery is fully charged, the start/stop button lights up green continuously.
Charging on the docking station
1Place the robot on the plugged-in docking station (Fig. 12).
2The start/stop button starts flashing green. Because this is the first time you charge the robot, the
display of the robot shows the charging indicator (Fig. 13).
3When the rechargeable battery is fully charged, the start/stop button lights up green continuously
(Fig. 14).
Using your robot
Preparing the room for a cleaning run
Before you start the robot on its cleaning run, make sure that you remove all loose and fragile objects
from the floor. Also remove all cables, wires and cords from the floor.
Functions of the start/stop button
The start/stop button has the following functions (Fig. 16):
How you press start/stop button How robot responds
Press start/stop button for 1 second Robot switches from sleep mode to standby
Press start/stop button briefly Robot starts or stops cleaning
Press start/stop button for 5 seconds Switches robot on or off.
