Cleaning Methods
• Auto Clean: Cleans automatically until the Jet Bot completes cleaning
all rooms one time.
• Room Clean: You can select a room you want to clean.
• Spot Clean: You can set a specic area you want to clean.
Cleaning Mode

Clean Station due to battery shortage, it does not clean again after
charging is complete.
Empty Dust
• You can select the Empty Dust conditions at the SmartThings App.
• When the Jet Bot returns to the Clean Station, it automatically
empties its Dustbin. (However, after the Spot Clean, the Jet Bot does
not empty its Dustbin automatically.)
 If the Empty Dust function does not work, check whether the top
cover of the Clean Station is open or the Dust Bag is full.
 While the Jet Bot is docked onto the Clean Station, press the [ ] to
