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.
7
English

-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.
-The suction power of the robot picks up loose dirt and transports it
through the suction opening into the dust container.
-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 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
2 Random pattern
3 Wall-following pattern
8English

4 Spiral pattern
In its auto cleaning mode, the robot uses these patterns in a fixed
sequence:z-pattern, random pattern, wall-following pattern, and spiral
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.
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. The manually selected modes are
only active for a couple of minutes. After that, the robot switches back to
auto-cleaning mode.
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.
9
English

2Push the side brushes onto the shafts on the bottom of the robot.
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.

Note: When the rechargeable battery is fully charged, your robot can clean
for up to 120 minutes
Charging on the docking station
1Press the power switch to switch on the robot.
2Place the robot on the plugged-in docking station.
3The start/stop button starts flashing.
Note: Because this is the first time you charge the robot, the display of
the robot shows the booting indicator.
4When the rechargeable battery is fully charged, the start/stop button
lights up continuously.
11
English

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.
2When the rechargeable battery is fully charged, the start/stop button
lights up continuously.
Preparing the room for a cleaning run

battery runs low, press the docking button on the remote control. The
docking icon on the display of the robot comes on and the robot returns
to the docking station.
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.
Note: The manually selected modes are only active for a couple of minutes.
After that, the robot switches back to auto-cleaning mode.
Z-pattern mode
In Z-pattern mode, the robot cleans by making Z-shaped loops through the
room to clean large areas.
13
English

In this mode, the robot cleans the room in a mixed pattern of straight and
crisscross movements.
In this mode, the robot follows the walls of the room to give the area
alongside the walls an extra clean.
In this mode, the robot moves in a spiral pattern to clean a small area. If the
dust detection sensor detects dirt, the robot automatically switches the fan
to turbo speed.
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.
Note: Be careful when you drive the robot manually close to height
differences and staircases.
Note: The vacuuming function and the side brushes only work when the
robot is driven forward. The left, right or back buttons are only for
maneuvering the robot.
