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 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. 3).
-The suction power of the robot picks up loose dirt and transports it through the suction opening
into the dust container (Fig. 4).
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. 5)
2 Random pattern (Fig. 6)
3 Wall-following pattern (Fig. 7)
4 Spot-cleaning pattern (Fig. 8)
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. 9).
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.
1Pull the battery protection tag out of the battery compartment of the remote control (Fig. 10).
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. 11).
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. 12).
Important note: deep sleep mode
How to reset the robot when it is in deep sleep mode (robot does not respond):
-Set the power switch to 'on' position (Fig. 13).
-Charge the robot. After a few seconds the robot will respond again.
Note: The robot will enter deep sleep mode every time you set the power switch to 'off' position and
when the battery is empty. The battery may, for instance, run empty if the robot is unable to find its
docking station.
Charging
When charging for the first time and when the rechargeable battery of the robot is empty, the charging
time is four hours.
Your robot can be charged in two ways:
-On the docking station, either manually or automatically during use;
-By connecting the robot directly to the mains.
Note: When the rechargeable battery is fully charged, your robot can clean for up to 100 minutes.
Charging on the docking station
1Set the power switch to 'on' position (Fig. 13).
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.
Charging directly from the mains
1Press the power switch to switch on the robot.
2Insert the small plug of the adapter into the socket on the robot (1). Insert the adapter into a wall
socket (2) (Fig. 18).
3When the robot is connected to the mains correctly, the start/stop button starts flashing very
slowly. This indicates that the robot is charging.
4When the rechargeable battery is fully charged, the start/stop button lights up continuously.
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. 19).
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. 20).
-You can also press the start/stop button on the remote control (Fig. 21).
2The start/stop button is continuously on and the robot starts cleaning (Fig. 22).
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.
23).
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. 24).
The start/stop button starts flashing and the robot searches for the docking station (Fig. 25).
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. 26).
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. 27).
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. 28).
Random mode
In this mode, the robot cleans the room in a mixed pattern of straight and crisscross movements (Fig.
29).
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. 30).
Spot-cleaning mode
In this mode, the robot moves randomly on a small area to clean this area thoroughly (Fig. 31).
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. 32)
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. 33).
Using the power switch
Setting the power to 'off' position places the robot in deep sleep mode. In this mode, the robot does
not respond anymore.
-If you want to charge the robot, you need to press the power switch to 'on'.
-If the robot goes into deep sleep mode during use, you can reactivate it by setting the power
switch to 'on' and by charging the robot. After a few seconds the robot will respond again
