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
6English
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.
-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 cleaning patterns to clean each
area of the room optimally. The cleaning patterns it uses are:
1 Random pattern (Fig. 5)
2 Wall-following pattern (Fig. 6)
3 Spot-cleaning pattern (Fig. 7)
In its auto cleaning mode, the robot uses these patterns in a fixed sequence: random pattern, wall-
following pattern, and spot-cleaning pattern.
When the robot has completed this sequence of patterns, it starts moving in random 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.
Note: You can also select each mode individually by pressing the appropriate button on the remote
control (see 'Cleaning mode selection').
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
7
English
The remote control works on two AA batteries.
1Push the tab (1) to unlock the battery compartment lid (2) and remove the battery compartment lid
(Fig. 9).
2Insert two AA 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
Installing the docking station
1Insert the small plug of the adapter into the socket on the docking station (1) and insert the adapter
into the wall socket (2) (Fig. 12).
2Place the docking station on a horizontal, level floor against a wall.
Note: Make sure that there are no obstacles or height differences 150 cm in front, 30 cm to the right
and 100 cm to the left of the docking station (Fig. 13).
Charging
1Place the robot on the plugged-in docking station (Fig. 14).
2Press the start/stop button to activate the robot (Fig. 15).
3The start/stop button starts flashing (Fig. 16).
4When the rechargeable battery is fully charged, the start/stop button lights up continuously (Fig.
17).
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. 18).
-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. 19).
Using your 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).
8English
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. 23).
7The start/stop button starts flashing 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 on the remote control 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 mode selection
This robot has three individual cleaning modes that can each be activated by pressing the
appropriate button on the remote control.
Random mode
In this mode, the robot cleans the room in a mixed pattern of straight and crisscross movements (Fig.
24).
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. 25).
Spot-cleaning mode
In this mode, the robot moves randomly on a small area to clean this area thoroughly (Fig. 26).
Note: The manually selected modes are only active for a couple of minutes. After that, the robot
switches to auto-cleaning mode.
Manual driving
You can drive the robot manually with buttons on the remote control.
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. (Fig. 27)
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.
Using the 24-hour scheduler
The 24-hour scheduler can be activated with the remote control. Make sure the robot is in standby
mode and is not positioned on the docking station.
1Press the 24-hour scheduler button (Fig. 28) on the remote control to activate the 24-hour
scheduler.
-When you activate the 24-hour scheduler, the display starts to flash briefly every few seconds.
-The robot will start a cleaning run 24 hours after you activated the 24-hour scheduler. It will
continue to start a cleaning run at the same time every 24 hours until you deactivate the
24-hour scheduler.
2To deactivate the 24-hour scheduler, press the 24-hour scheduler button. The display will light up
continuously to show the robot is in standby mode and the 24-hour scheduler is no longer active.

Mopping with the robot
Types FC8796 and FC8794 come with a mopping attachment and a mopping pad for wet cleaning of
hard floors.
Attaching the mopping pad
1Soak the mopping pad in water or wet the mopping pad under the tap. You can add a few drops of
a readily available floor cleaner that is suitable for your floor.
2Squeeze the mopping pad thoroughly to ensure it is only damp instead of wet.
3Attach the damp mopping pad to the mopping attachment by pushing the Velcro fasteners of the
mopping pad onto Velcro fasteners of the mopping attachment (Fig. 29).
4Insert the attachment lugs of the mopping attachment into the two attachment holes located just
behind the wheels. Then press down until you hear a click (Fig. 30).
Cleaning floors with the mopping attachment
Note: To clean hard floors with the mopping attachment, you have to start the robot from a point in
the room you wish to clean. You cannot start the robot from its docking station with the mopping pad
attached.
1Just press the start/stop button on the remote control to start the robot.
-The robot continues mopping until its battery runs low and the robot stops.
Note: Detach the mopping pad and the mopping attachment before you send the robot to the
docking station with the docking button on the remote control or before you place the robot on the
docking station manually.
Detaching the mopping attachment
1To detach the mopping attachment, press the tab (1) and pull up the mopping attachment to
remove it (2) (Fig. 31).
2Pull the mopping pad off the mopping attachment.
3To clean the mopping pad, wash it in the washing machine on a gentle cycle at a temperature of
60°C max.
Alarm signal
If the robot gets into trouble while cleaning (e.g., because a wheel jams or is no longer in contact with
the floor, or because a sensor can no longer detect the floor), you will hear a sound and the robot
stops. Press the start/stop button to switch the robot to standby mode and solve the problem that
causes the alarm signal, for instance by removing the obstacle that blocks the wheel, cleaning the
sensors, or picking up the robot and putting it down in a different place.
Cleaning and maintenance
Emptying and cleaning the dust container
Empty and clean the dust container when the start/stop button starts flashing.
1Pull up the handle of the dust container lid and lift the dust container out of the dust container
compartment (Fig. 32).
2Pull the tab on the side of the dust container to open the lid (Fig. 33).
3Remove the filter unit from the dust container (Fig. 34).
4Shake the dust container over a dustbin to empty it (Fig. 35).
