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 oors in your home.
The robot is especially suitable for cleaning hard oors, such as wooden,
tiled or linoleum oors. It may experience problems cleaning soft oors,
such as carpet or rugs. If you use the robot on a carpet or rug, please stay
close by the rst time to see if the robot can deal with this type of oor.
The robot also needs supervision when you use it on black and shiny
hard oors.
How your robot cleans
Cleaning system
The robot has a 3-stage cleaning system to clean your oors efciently.
- The two side brushes help the robot clean in corners and along walls.
They also help to work dirt loose from the oor.

ENGLISH 7

- 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 oor 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
4 Spiral pattern
During auto cleaning, the robot uses these patterns in a xed sequence:
1 Z-pattern
2 Random pattern
3 Wall-following pattern
4 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 is empty, 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 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 or pointer (FC8820 only). For more details,
see chapter ‘Using your robot’, section ‘Cleaning modes’.
ENGLISH8

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 rst few times you use it, and when you operate it near a staircase
or another height difference.
Before rst use
Mounting the side brushes
1 Unpack the side brushes and place the robot upside down on a table
or on the oor.
2 Push 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.
Inserting the rechargeable battery into the robot
You have to insert the rechargeable battery before use.
1 Press the ribbed sections on the battery cavity cover to unlock it.
2 Slide the battery cavity cover off the robot.
3 Remove the plastic from the rechargeable battery.

ENGLISH 9

4 Place the rechargeable battery into the battery cavity.
Note: Make sure that the print on the battery points upwards and that the
connectors point in the right direction.
5 Slide the battery cavity cover back onto the robot.
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.
1 Pull the battery protection tag out of the battery compartment of
the remote control.
,Now the remote control is ready for use.
Preparing for use
Installing the docking station
1 Insert the small plug of the adapter into the socket on the docking
station (1) and insert the adapter into the wall socket (2).
The display of the docking station lights up.
2 Place the docking station on a horizontal, level oor against the wall.
Tip: To ensure the docking station stays rmly in the selected spot, you can
fasten it to the wall with screws or with two strips of double-sided tape.
Note: Make sure that there are no obstacles or height differences 80cm in
front, 30 cm to the right and 100cm to the left of the docking station.

the robot shows the booting indicator.
4 When the rechargeable battery is fully charged, the battery indicator
on the display of the docking station and the light in the on/of button
on the robot stop ashing.
Charging automatically during use
1 When the robot has nished cleaning or when only 15% of the
battery power remains, it automatically returns to the docking
station to recharge.When the robot returns to the docking station,
the light in the on/off button ashes.
2 When the robot is positioned correctly on the docking station, the
battery indicator on the display of the docking station starts to ash.

2 Unless you press one of the mode buttons, the robot continues
cleaning in auto cleaning mode until its battery runs low. In auto
cleaning mode it follows repeated sequences of Z-pattern, random,
wall-following and spiral movements. For more information on the
cleaning modes, see section ‘Cleaning modes’.
3 When the battery runs low, the light in the on/off button starts
ashing and the robot returns to the docking station to charge.
4 You can also press the on/off button to interrupt or stop the
cleaning run. If you press the on/off button again and there is still
enough energy in the rechargeable battery, the robot continues
cleaning in the auto cleaning mode.
5 You can also make the robot return to the docking station before
the rechargeable battery runs low by pressing the docking button on
the remote control or the pointer (FC8820). The docking indicator
on the display of the robot lights up and the robot returns to the
docking station.
Note: If you did not start the robot from the docking station, it does not return
to the docking station automatically when the rechargeable battery runs low.
If there is still enough energy in the rechargeable battery, you can press the
docking button to make the robot return to the docking station.
If the rechargeable battery is completely empty, you have to place the robot
on the docking station manually.
Cleaning modes
Next to the auto cleaning mode, this robot has four individual cleaning
modes that can each be activated by pressing the appropriate button.
Z-pattern mode
- In Z-pattern mode, the robot cleans by making Z-shaped loops
through the room to clean large areas.
Random mode
- In this mode, the robot cleans the room in a mixed pattern of straight
and crisscross movements.
ENGLISH 13

Wall-following mode
- In this mode, the robot follows the walls of the room to give the area
alongside the walls an extra clean.
Spiral mode
- In this mode, the robot makes a spiral movement with the fan at turbo
speed to clean a dirty area thoroughly.
Manual driving
1 Use the arrow buttons above and below and to the left and right
of the on/off button on the remote control to navigate the robot
through the room.
Note: Do not press the downward arrow when the robot is close to a height
difference or a staircase.
ENGLISH14

Using the cleaning time buttons
- Press the maximum cleaning time button to make the robot clean in
auto cleaning mode until its rechargeable battery runs low.
When the robot has nished cleaning, it returns to the docking station
automatically if it started from the docking station. If the robot started
from another point in the room, press the docking button to send it
back to the docking station.
- The other cleaning time buttons allow you to let the robot operate for
60, 45 and 30 minutes respectively. When the cleaning time is nished,
the robot automatically returns to the docking station when it started
from the docking station. If the robot started from another point in the
room, press the docking button to send it back to the docking station.
