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.
6English

How your robot cleans
Cleaning system
The robot has a 2-stage cleaning system to clean your floors efficiently.
-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. 4).
-The suction power of the robot picks up loose dirt and transports it through the suction opening
into the dust container (Fig. 5).
Cleaning patterns
In its auto cleaning mode, the robot uses an automatic sequence of cleaning patterns to clean each
area of the room optimally. The cleaning patterns it uses are:
1 Z-pattern or zigzag pattern (Fig. 6)
2 Random pattern (Fig. 7)
3 Wall-following pattern (Fig. 8)
4 Spot-cleaning pattern (Fig. 9)
In its auto cleaning mode, the robot uses these patterns in a fixed sequence:z-pattern, random
pattern, wall-following pattern, and spot-cleaning pattern.
When the robot has completed this sequence of patterns, it starts moving in Z-pattern again. The
robot continues to use this sequence of patterns to clean the room until the rechargeable battery runs
low, or until it is switched off manually.
Note: You can also select each mode individually by pressing the appropriate button on the remote
control. For more details, see chapter 'Using your robot', section 'Cleaning modes'.
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.
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.
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 chapter ' Cleaning
and maintenance' for instructions).
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. 10).
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 protection 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.

English

Cleaning mode selection
Next to the auto-cleaning mode, this robot has four individual cleaning modes that can each be
activated by pressing the appropriate button on the remote control.
Z-pattern mode
In Z-pattern mode, the robot cleans by making Z-shaped loops through the room to clean large areas
(Fig. 27).
Random mode
In this mode, the robot cleans the room in a mixed pattern of straight and crisscross movements (Fig.
28).
Wall-following mode
In this mode, the robot follows the walls of the room to give the area alongside the walls an extra
clean (Fig. 29).
Spot-cleaning mode
In this mode, the robot moves randomly on a small area to clean this area thoroughly (Fig. 30).
Note: The manually selected modes are only active for a couple of minutes. After that, the robot
switches to auto-cleaning mode.
Manual driving
1Use the arrow buttons above and below and to the left and right of the start/stop button on the
remote control to navigate the robot through the room. (Fig. 31)

Sådan fungerer din robot
Det kan din robot rengøre
Robotten er udstyret med funktioner, som gør den til et nyttigt rengøringsredskab, der hjælper med at
rengøre gulvene i dit hjem.
Robotten er især velegnet til rengøring af hårde gulve, som f.eks. trægulve, flisegulve eller
linoleumsgulve. Den kan have svært ved at rengøre bløde gulve, som f.eks. tæpper. Hvis robotten skal
bruges på et tæppe, skal man holde øje med den i starten for at se, om robotten kan klare den
16 Dansk

pågældende type gulvbelægning. Hold også øje med robotten, når den skal bruges på meget mørke
eller blanke og hårde gulve.
Sådan udfører din robot rengøring
Rengøringssystem
Robotten har et 2-trins rengøringssystem til effektiv rengøring af dine gulve.
-De to sidebørster hjælper robotten med at gøre rent i hjørnerne og langs vægge. De hjælper også
med at fjerne urenheder fra gulvet og flytte støvet hen mod sugeåbningen (fig. 4).
-Sugekraften i robotten opsamler løst snavs og transporterer det gennem sugeåbningen ind i
støvbeholderen (fig. 5).
Rengøringsmønstre
I auto-rengøringstilstanden anvender robotten en automatisk rækkefølge i sine rengøringsmønstre,
således at alle områder i rummet rengøres bedst muligt. De anvendte rengøringsmønstre er:
1 Z-mønster eller zigzag-mønster (fig. 6)
2 Tilfældigt mønster (fig. 7)
3 Væg-følgende mønster (fig. 8)
4 Spotmønster (fig. 9)
I auto-rengøringstilstand benytter robotten disse mønstre i en fast sekvens: z-mønster, tilfældigt
mønster, væg-følgende mønster og spotmønster.
Når robotten har gennemført denne sekvens af mønstre, vil den begynde at bevæge sig i Z-mønster
igen. Robotten fortsætter med at benytte denne sekvens af mønstre til rengøring af gulvet, indtil det
genopladelige batteri er næsten opbrugt, eller indtil den slukkes manuelt.
Bemærk: Du kan også vælge hver tilstand individuelt, ved at trykke på den relevante knap på
fjernbetjeningen. Der er flere oplysninger i kapitlet "Sådan bruges din robot" i afsnittet
"Rengøringstilstande".
Sådan undgår din robot højdeforskelle
Robotten har tre sensorer i bunden. Disse drop-off-sensorer bruges til at registrere og undgå
højdeforskelle, som f.eks. trapper.
Bemærk: Det er normalt, at robotten bevæger sig lidt ud over kanten på en højdeforskel, da den
forreste sensor er placeret bag stødfangeren.
Forsigtig: I visse tilfælde kan sensorerne ikke registrere en trappe eller en anden højdeforskel i tide.
Du skal derfor nøje holde øje med robotten de første par gange, den anvendes, samt når den
betjenes i nærheden af en trappe eller en anden højdeforskel. Det er vigtigt at rengøre sensorerne
regelmæssigt for at sikre, at robotten fortsat kan registrere højdeforskelle korrekt (se anvisninger i
kapitlet "Rengøring og vedligeholdelse").
Før apparatet tages i brug
Montering af sidebørsterne
1Pak sidebørsterne ud, og anbring robotten med bunden opad på et bord eller på gulvet.
2Skub sidebørsterne på akslerne på robottens bund (fig. 10).
17
Dansk

Bemærk: Sørg for at få sat sidebørsterne korrekt på robotten. Skub dem ind på akslen, indtil de
"klikker" hørbart på plads.
Sådan fjernes beskyttelsesmærket fra fjernbetjeningen
Til fjernbetjeningen skal bruges et CR2025 knapbatteri. Dette batteri er beskyttet med en
beskyttelsesstrimmel, der skal fjernes før brug.
1Træk batteriets beskyttelsesmærke ud af fjernbetjeningens (fig. 11) batterirum.
Nu er fjernbetjeningen klar til brug.
Klargøring
Installation af dockingstationen
1Sæt det lille stik på adapteren i tilslutningsstikket på dockingstationen (1).Sæt adapteren i en
stikkontakt (2) (fig. 12).
2Placer dockingstationen op mod væggen på et vandret, plant gulv.
Bemærk: Sørg for, at der ikke er forhindringer eller højdeforskelle 80 cm foran, 30 cm til højre for og
100 cm til venstre for dockingstationen (fig. 13).
Vigtigt meddelelse: Dyb dvaletilstand
I dyb dvaletilstand reagerer robotten slet ikke, når du trykker på en knap. Sådan genaktiverer du
robotten, når den er i dyb dvaletilstand:
1Tryk på start/stop-knappen på robotten for at vække robotten fra dyb dvaletilstand til
standbytilstand.
2Tryk på start/stop-knappen på robotten (fig. 19) eller på fjernbetjeningen for at starte robotten.
3Hvis robotten ikke starter rengøringen, anbringes den i dockingstationen, der er sluttet til en
stikkontakt, så det genopladelige batteri oplades.
Robotten går i dyb dvaletilstand, når du trykker på start/stop-knappen i tre sekunder. Den kan også
gå i dyb dvaletilstand, når batteriet er afladet. Batteriet kan f.eks. blive tømt, hvis robotten ikke kan
finde dockingstationen.
Bemærk: Du kan ikke få robotten ud af dvaletilstanden ved hjælp af start/stop-knappen på
fjernbetjeningen. Du skal trykke på on/off-knappen på robotten.
Opladning
-Når apparatet oplades første gang, og når robottens genopladelige batteri er brugt op, er
opladningstiden fire timer.
-Når det genopladelige batteri er fuldt opladet, kan robotten gøre rent i op til 120 minutter.
-Opladning af robotten kan kun ske i dockingstationen.
Opladning i dockingstationen
1Tryk på start/stop-knappen på robotten.
2Anbring robotten i den tilsluttede dockingstation (fig. 14).
3Start/stop-knappen begynder at blinke langsomt (fig. 15).

Automatisk opladning under brug
1Når robotten er færdig med rengøringen, eller når der kun er 15 % tilbage af batteriet, vil den
automatisk søge tilbage til dockingstationen for at blive opladet. Når robotten søger tilbage til
dockingstationen, blinker start/stop-knappen hurtigt (fig. 17).
2Når det genopladelige batteri er fuldt opladet, lyser start/stop-knappen konstant.
Bemærk: Robotten søger kun automatisk tilbage til dockingstationen, hvis den startede rengøringen
fra dockingstationen.
Rummet gøres klar til rengøring
Inden du sætter robotten til at rengøre, skal du sikre dig, at alle løse og skrøbelige genstande er fjernet
fra gulvet (fig. 18).
Fjern ligeledes alle kabler og snore fra gulvet.
Sådan bruges din robot
Start og stop
1Tryk på start/stop-knappen.
-Du kan trykke på start/stop-knappen på robotten (fig. 19).
-Du kan også trykke på start-/stopknappen på fjernbetjeningen (fig. 20).
2Start/stop-knappen er konstant på "on", og robotten begynder på rengøring (fig. 21).
3Robotten rengør i auto-rengøringstilstand, indtil batteriets kapacitet bliver lav. I auto-
rengøringstilstand følger den gentagne sekvenser med Z-mønster og tilfældige mønstre, væg-
følgende mønstre og spotmønstre (fig. 22).
Bemærk: For at vælge en individuel tilstand skal du trykke på en af tilstandsknapperne på
fjernbetjeningen. Se afsnittet "Valg af rengøringstilstand" for at få flere oplysninger.
4Når batteriet begynder at blive afladet, begynder start/stop-knappen at blinke, og robotten søger
tilbage til dockingstationen for at blive ladet op (fig. 17).
5Du kan også trykke på start/stop-knappen for at afbryde eller stoppe rengøringsarbejdet. Hvis du
trykker på start/stop-knappen igen, og der stadig er batterikapacitet nok på det genopladelige
batteri, fortsætter robotten med at gøre rent i auto-rengøringstilstand.
6For at få robotten til at vende tilbage til dockingstationen, inden det genopladelige batteri bliver for
lavt, skal du trykke på dockingknappen på fjernbetjeningen (fig. 23).
Start/stop-knappen begynder at blinke, og robotten søger tilbage til dockingstationen (fig. 24).
Bemærk: Hvis robotten ikke blev startet fra dockingstationen, vil den ikke automatisk søge tilbage
til dockingstationen, når det genopladelige batteri trænger til opladning. Hvis der stadigvæk er
strøm nok på det genopladelige batteri, kan du trykke på dockingknappen på fjernbetjeningen for
at få robotten til at vende tilbage til dockingstationen. Hvis det genopladelige batteri er
fuldstændigt afladet, skal du sætte robotten hen i dockingstationen manuelt.
Betjening af dockingstationen
Dockingstationen er forsynet med to knapper, der bruges til styring af robotten.
Knapperne Batteri opladet og Go
Hvis du trykker på knappen Batteri opladet og Go på dockingstationen, mens robotten oplades,
begynder robotten at gøre rent, så snart det genopladelige batteri er fuldt opladet (fig. 25).

24h-knappen
Hvis du trykker på 24h-knappen på dockingstationen, begynder dockingstation at tælle ned fra 24
timer, indtil næste rengøring. Når nedtællingen er slut, begynder robotten at støvsuge, indtil batteriet
skal oplades. Derefter vender den tilbage automatisk tilbage til dockingstationen for at genoplade (fig.
26).
Valg af rengøringstilstand
Ud over auto-rengøringstilstanden har robotten fire individuelle rengøringstilstande, som hver kan
aktiveres ved at trykke på den pågældende knap på fjernbetjeningen.
Tilstanden Z-mønster
I tilstanden Z-mønster rengør robotten ved at lave Z-formede mønstre i rummet for derved at rengøre
store arealer (fig. 27).
Tilstanden tilfældige bevægelser
I denne tilstand rengør robotten rummet i et kombineret mønster af lige og krydsgående bevægelser
(fig. 28).
Væg-følgende tilstand
I denne tilstand følger robotten rummets vægge for ekstra rengøring (fig. 29) af arealerne langs
væggene.
Tilstanden Spot-rengøring
I denne tilstand bevæger robotten sig i et tilfældigt mønster på et begrænset areal for at foretage en
grundig (fig. 30) rengøring af dette område.
Bemærk: De manuelt valgte tilstande er kun aktive i et par minutter. Derefter skifter robotten til auto-
rengøringstilstand.
Manuel kørsel
1Brug piletasterne over, under og til højre og venstre for start/stop-knappen på fjernbetjeningen for
at navigere robotten gennem rummet (fig. 31).
Bemærk: Vær forsigtig, når du kører robotten manuelt i nærheden af højdeforskelle og trapper.
Bemærk: Støvsugningsfunktionen og sidebørsterne fungerer kun, når robotten kører fremad.
Knapperne venstre, højre eller tilbage bruges kun til at manøvrere robotten.
Brug af knappen til rengøringstid
Tryk på knappen til rengøringstid på fjernbetjeningen for at få robotten til at støvsuge i 35 minutter.
Når rengøringstiden er afsluttet, vender robotten automatisk tilbage til dockingstationen for at lade op
(fig. 32).
Signaler og deres betydning
Robotten er forsynet med et display med to indikatorer: en advarselsindikator og en indikator for fuld
støvbeholder. Start/stop-knappen afgiver lyssignaler. I tabellen nedenfor er signalernes betydning
forklaret.
