the vacuum should be manually charged for at least six hours before setting it up for
automatic charging.
1. Place the charging station on the floor
against a wall with a nearby AC power
outlet. The Charging Dock should be at
least 1 meter from any wall or obstacle
on each side and have 2 meters
clearance at the front.
2. Plug the DC barrel connector on the
included AC power adapter into the DC
Charging Connector on the Charging
Dock, then plug the adapter into a nearby AC power outlet. The power indicator on
the dock will illuminate.
3. Flip the Power Switch on the vacuum to the ON position.
4. Place the vacuum on the floor near the Charging Dock, then press the Dock button
on the vacuum or the Home button on the remote control to cause it to dock itself
and begin charging. The Charging/Power Status Indicator on the vacuum will begin
flashing.

Mode.
Notes:
To cancel the scheduled cleaning time, set the scheduled time to 00:00.
If the battery is removed, the current time and scheduled time will be reset.
Full Go Mode
Instead of scheduling cleaning at a specific time, Full Go Scheduling Mode tells the vacuum
to start cleaning as soon as it is fully charged. With the vacuum powered ON, whether it is
cleaning or charging, press the Full Go Button on the remote control. The vacuum will
return to the charging dock if it is cleaning, then will start charging. When charging is
complete, the vacuum will automatically clean the floor.
BASIC OPERATING MODES
The vacuum can be in one of three basic operating modes, Cleaning, Standby, or Sleeping.
The LED Display will be ON or OFF, depending on the status.

Standby
The Power Switch is ON and the LED Display is ON
Sleeping

16
CLEANING MODES
The vacuum features three different cleaning modes: Auto, Spot, and Edge. The vacuum
uses inertial navigation and an advanced navigation algorithm to calculate the best path to
efficiently clean the room.
Auto Cleaning Mode
The Auto Cleaning Mode is the default. In Auto
mode, the vacuum typically follows a zig-zag
path to cover the floor.
When the vacuum encounters a particularly
dirty area of the floor, it will automatically
enter Spot Cleaning Mode, then will return to
the normal cleaning path when it is done with
the Spot cleaning.
When the vacuum encounters an obstacle, such as a wall, it will automatically enter Edge
Cleaning Mode. It will stay in Edge Cleaning Mode until either the Auto or Spot buttons are
pressed.
Note that while in Auto Cleaning Mode, you can use the Directional Buttons on the remote
control to direct the vacuum to a particular part of the floor or to navigate around
obstacles.
Spot Cleaning Mode
When the Spot Cleaning Mode is automatically
entered from Auto mode or when the Spot
button is pressed, the vacuum will start
spiraling out from a central point to intensively
clean that portion of the floor. Once Spot
cleaning is completed, the vacuum will
automatically return to Auto Cleaning Mode.

17
Edge Cleaning Mode
When the vacuum encounters an obstacle
during Auto cleaning, such as a wall, it will
automatically enter Edge Cleaning Mode. It will
return to Auto cleaning when it clears the
obstacle.
Alternatively, if the Edge Cleaning Button is
pressed, the vacuum will search for the nearest
wall or obstacle and will begin cleaning around the obstacles.
The vacuum will remain in Edge Cleaning Mode until either the Auto or Spot buttons are
pressed.
EXCHANGING THE DUST BOX AND WATER TANK
The vacuum includes both a Dust Box for dry sweeping and a Water Tank for wet mopping.
To change one for the other, press the Dust Box/Water Tank Release Button to release the
currently installed Box/Tank, then remove it and replace with the other.
To fill the Water Tank with water, pull the seal up, then fill the tank with water. Once the
tank is full, replace the seal.
Note that the Water Tank is washable and can be cleaned with soap and water. Never
clean the Dust Box with water. Clean the Dust Box using a soft, dry cloth only.

18
MAINTENANCE
Side Brushes
The side brush can become dirty or deformed with regular use. Perform the following steps
to clean, reform, or replace the side brushes.
1. Flip the Power Switch on the vacuum to the OFF position.
2. Turn the vacuum over to access the side brushes.
3. Inspect the side brushes to determine whether they are just dirty, whether they are
recoverable, or whether they need to be replaced. Compare the condition of the
side brushes with the images below.
4. Using a Philips screwdriver, turn the side brush
retaining screws counterclockwise to remove
the retaining screws.
5. If the brushes are dirty, clean them in warm
water. Use scissors to remove trapped hair and
debris, taking care not to damage the brushes
themselves.
6. If the brushes are deformed, soak them in
warm water to reform them.
7. Once the brushes have been cleaned and reformed, place them back on the vacuum
and secure them in place using the retaining screws removed in step 4 above. If the
brushes are damaged, replace them with new brushes.

remove the tank.
3. Hold the Water Tank still and remove the Mopping Cloth from the bottom.
4. Wash the Mopping Cloth with warm water, then allow it to dry.
5. Once the Mopping Cloth is dry, place it back on the Water Tank. Ensure that the
two sides are properly installed and that the Mopping Cloth is flat against the
Water Tank.
