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.

6English

How your robot cleans

Cleaning system

The robot has a 2-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. 4).

-The suction power of the robot picks up loose dirt and transports it through the suction opening

into the dust container (Fig. 5).

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 (Fig. 6)

2 Random pattern (Fig. 7)

3 Wall-following pattern (Fig. 8)

4 Spot-cleaning pattern (Fig. 9)

In its auto cleaning mode, the robot uses these patterns in a fixed sequence:z-pattern, random

pattern, wall-following pattern, and spot-cleaning 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 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. For more details, see chapter 'Using your robot', section 'Cleaning modes'.

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 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 chapter ' Cleaning

and maintenance' for instructions).

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. 10).

Note: Make sure you attach the side brushes properly. Press them onto the shaft until you hear

them lock into position with a click.

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.

English

1Pull the battery protection tag out of the battery compartment of the remote control (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 80 cm in front, 30 cm to the right

and 100 cm to the left of the docking station (Fig. 13).

Important note: deep sleep mode

In deep sleep mode, the robot does not respond at all when you press a button. To reactivate the

robot when it is in deep sleep mode:

1Press the start/stop button on the robot to bring the robot from deep sleep mode to standby

mode.

2Press the start/stop button on the robot (Fig. 19) or on the remote control to start the robot.

3If the robot does not start cleaning, place it on the plugged-in docking station to recharge its

rechargeable battery.

The robot enters deep sleep mode when you press the start/stop button for 3 seconds. It may also

enter the deep sleep mode when its battery is empty. The battery may, for instance, run empty if the

robot is unable to find its docking station.

Note: You cannot get the robot out of its deep sleep mode with the start/stop button on the remote

control. You need to press the on/off button on the robot.

Charging

-When charging for the first time and when the rechargeable battery of the robot is empty, the

charging time is four hours.

-When the rechargeable battery is fully charged, your robot can clean for up to 120 minutes.

-Your robot can only be charged on the docking station.

Charging on the docking station

1Press the start/stop button on the robot.

2Place the robot on the plugged-in docking station (Fig. 14).

3The start/stop button starts flashing slowly (Fig. 15).

4When the rechargeable battery is fully charged, the start/stop button lights up continuously (Fig.

16).

Charging automatically during use

1When the robot has finished cleaning or when only 15% of the battery power remains, it

automatically searches for the docking station to recharge. When the robot searches for the

docking station, the start/stop button flashes quickly (Fig. 17).

2When the rechargeable battery is fully charged, the start/stop button lights up continuously.

8English

Note: The robot only searches for the docking station automatically when it started cleaning from the

docking station.

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).

Also remove all cables, wires and cords from the floor.

Using your robot

Starting and stopping

1Press the start/stop button.

-You can press the start/stop button on the robot (Fig. 19).

-You can also press the start/stop button on the remote control (Fig. 20).

2The start/stop button is continuously on and the robot starts cleaning (Fig. 21).

3The robot cleans in the auto-cleaning mode until its battery runs low. In the auto-cleaning mode, it

follows repeated sequences of Z-pattern, random, wall-following and spot-cleaning patterns (Fig.

22).

Note: To select an individual mode, press one of the mode buttons on the remote control. See

section 'Cleaning mode selection' for more details.

4When the battery runs low, the start/stop button starts flashing and the robot searches for the

docking station to recharge (Fig. 17).

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).

The start/stop button starts flashing and the robot searches for the docking station (Fig. 24).

Note: If you did not start the robot from the docking station, it does not search for 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.

Operating the docking station

The docking station has two controls that can be used to operate the robot.

Battery full and go button

If you press the battery full and go button on the docking station while the robot is charging, the robot

starts cleaning as soon as the rechargeable battery is full (Fig. 25).

24h button

If you press the 24h button on the docking station, the docking station starts to count down the 24

hours until the next cleaning run. When the countdown is finished, the robot starts cleaning until its

battery runs low and then returns to the docking station automatically to recharge (Fig. 26).

English

Cleaning mode selection

Next to the auto-cleaning mode, this robot has four individual cleaning modes that can each be

activated by pressing the appropriate button on the remote control.

Z-pattern mode

In Z-pattern mode, the robot cleans by making Z-shaped loops through the room to clean large areas

(Fig. 27).

Random mode

In this mode, the robot cleans the room in a mixed pattern of straight and crisscross movements (Fig.

28).

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. 29).

Spot-cleaning mode

In this mode, the robot moves randomly on a small area to clean this area thoroughly (Fig. 30).

Note: The manually selected modes are only active for a couple of minutes. After that, the robot

switches to auto-cleaning mode.

Manual driving

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. 31)

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 cleaning time button

Press the cleaning time button on the remote control to make the robot clean for 35 minutes. When

the cleaning time is finished, the robot returns to the docking station to recharge (Fig. 32).
