Repair by unqualified persons could cause an extremely hazardous situation for the user.
-Do not incinerate, disassemble or expose the robot to temperatures above 60°C. The rechargeable
battery may explode if overheated.
Caution
-The robot is fitted with drop-off sensors in the bottom. These drop-off sensors are used to detect
and avoid height differences. In some cases, the drop-off sensors may not detect a staircase or
other height difference in time. The circumstances in your home (e.g. the light in the room, the
colour or type of your floor) can affect how well or fast the drop-off sensors react. Therefore
monitor the robot carefully, especially the first few times you use it and when you operate it near a
staircase or another height difference.
-Do not put any tape or stickers over the drop-off sensors and make sure you clean the drop-off
sensors regularly. If the drop-off sensors are covered or dirty, the robot is unable to detect a
staircase or other height difference.
-When you use the robot to vacuum fine sand, lime, cement dust and similar substances, the pores
of the filter become clogged.
-Never use scouring pads, abrasive cleaning agents or aggressive liquids such as petrol or acetone
to clean the appliance.
-Do not touch the mains plug with wet hands.
-Only use the adapter supplied to charge the appliance.

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.
Cleaning system
The robot has a 3-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. 3).
-The suction power of the robot picks up loose dirt and transports it through the suction opening
into the dust container (Fig. 4).
-Types FC8796 and FC8794 come with a mopping attachment that can be attached to the robot to
mop your hard floor.
Cleaning patterns
In its auto cleaning mode, the robot uses an automatic sequence of bounce and wall-following
patterns to clean each area of the room optimally. It continues to clean until its battery runs low or
until it is switched off.
You can also select one of the three individual cleaning modes by pressing the appropriate button on
the remote control (see 'Cleaning mode selection'). The robot continues cleaning in the selected
cleaning mode for a few minutes and then returns to auto cleaning mode.
1 Bounce mode (Fig. 5)
2 Wall-following mode (Fig. 6)
8English

3 Spiral mode (Fig. 7)
How your robot avoids height differences
The robot has five 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 'Cleaning the
robot').
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.
Placing the batteries in the remote control
The remote control works on two AAA batteries.
1Push the tab (1) to unlock the battery compartment lid (2) and remove the battery compartment lid
(Fig. 9).
2Insert two AAA batteries (Fig. 10).
Note: Make sure the + and - poles point in the right direction.
3To reattach the battery compartment lid, first insert the lug into the opening in the rim of the
compartment (1) and then push down the lid (2) until it locks with a click (Fig. 11). Now the remote
control is ready for use.
Preparing for use

3When the rechargeable battery is fully charged, the start/stop button lights up continuously (Fig.
16).
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 (Fig. 17).
-Remove all cables, wires and cords from the floor to prevent the robot from getting entangled in
them.
-If there is a rug with tassels in the room you want the robot to clean, fold the tassels under the rug
to prevent the robot from getting stuck on the tassels and to prevent the rug from getting damaged
(Fig. 18).
Using your robot
Using the remote control
1Place the robot on the docking station or press the start/stop button on the robot (Fig. 19) to
activate the robot.
-Now you can use the remote control to operate the robot.
Starting and stopping
1Press the start/stop button on the remote control (Fig. 20).
2The start/stop button on the robot lights up continuously and the robot starts cleaning (Fig. 21).
3The robot cleans in auto-cleaning mode until its battery runs low. In auto cleaning mode, it follows
repeated sequences of random, wall-following and spiral movements.
4When the battery runs low, the start/stop button starts flashing quickly and the robot starts
searching for the docking station to charge (Fig. 22).
5You can also press the start/stop button to interrupt or stop the cleaning run. If you press the
start/stop button again and there is still enough energy in the rechargeable battery, the robot
continues cleaning in the auto cleaning mode.
6To make the robot return to the docking station before the rechargeable battery runs low, press
the docking button on the remote control (Fig. 24).
7The start/stop button starts flashing and the robot returns to the docking station.
Cleaning mode selection
This robot has four cleaning modes. Its standard cleaning mode is the auto cleaning mode, which is an
automatic sequence of bounce and wall-following patterns (Fig. 23). Next to this auto cleaning mode,
the robot has three individual cleaning modes that can each be activated by pressing the appropriate
button on the remote control.
Bounce mode
In this mode, the robot cleans the room in a mixed pattern of straight and crisscross movements (Fig.
25).
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. 26).
