Operating the robot
The robot has a laser and smart gyroscope system. It uses a precise route and marks out the area it will clean in squares.

Thanks to the laser and AMIBOT HOME mobile app, you can follow the robot’s cleaning route in real time via the map.

NOTE: For the purposes of continuous improvement, updates to the AMIBOT HOME mobile app may lead to some settings being changed.

Charging
Assembling the home base (Spirit Premium version)To plug in the home base, open the cover under the robot and plug in the power cable. Wind the cable around integrated cable tidy and thread through the recess. Then put the cover back on again. Place the home base on a level surface next to a wall, at a right angle to the floor. Keep a distance of at least 1.5 m in front of the base and 0.5 m at either side.

NOTE: When your AMIBOT Spirit Premium robot is on its home base, make sure that your robot is switched on and the home base power light is on.

Assembling the auto-empty station (Spirit Premium Station version) Plug in the auto-empty station using the power cable. Place the home base on a level surface 6 cm from the wall. Keep a distance of at least 1.5 m in front of the base and 0.5 m at either side. Place the dust bag in its compartment in the auto-empty station.

Once cleaning is complete, the robot goes to auto-empty at its auto-empty station and then charges from the front.

NOTE:

• When your AMIBOT Spirit Premium robot is on its auto-empty station, make sure that your robot is switched on and the station’s power light is on.
• The auto-empty station must be placed on a smooth, flat surface, otherwise the robot may not empty effectively.

Switching on the robot Press the power button for 3 seconds. The robot is ready to be charged.

Charging the robot  The battery can only be charged on the home base.

NOTE:

• The robot must be switched on while it is being charged.
• Do not place a mirror or other highly reflective object within a distance of at least 15 cm from the home base.
• Do not place the home base in direct sunlight.
• When the robot’s battery is completely flat, the power button’s indicator light flashes red. While charging, the indicator light flashes blue. Once fully charged, the indicator light is steady blue.
• If the battery is weak while the robot is cleaning, it automatically returns to its home base. The home base must therefore be switched on.
• If the robot is not used for a long period of time, you are recommended to fully charge the battery, switch off the robot and store it in a cool, dry place.

Vacuum modeTo use the vacuum mode, attach the dustbin to back of the appliance.

Mopping mode
Attaching the cleaning pad

Attach the cleaning pad (Figure 1) to the base using the Velcros on the underneath (Figure 2).

Preparing and inserting the 2-in-1 compartment

Open the water tank’s refill nozzle (Figure 1) and carefully pour in clean water with some floor cleaner.

NOTE:

• For optimum performance, the water tank must have at least 50 ml of liquid.
• For optimum cleaning, check the dilution ratio indicated on the detergent bottle.
• Only use floor cleaner products. Prolonged use of any other product, such as white vinegar, essential oils, black soap or bleach, could damage the water tank.
• A cleaning pad must be attached to the back of the robot whenever there is water in the water tank.

Inserting the 2-in-1 compartment

Thanks to the 2-in-1 compartment, the robot can vacuum and mop hard floors at the same time. Clip it on the cleaning pad attachment to the back of the robot, which automatically detects the tank. The robot is ready to start its mopping cycle.

When the robot is turned on for its cleaning cycle, the automatic pump in the water tank is activated to clean hard floors.

NOTE:

• You can regulate the water tank’s water flow intensity via the remote control (see page 10).
• Do not use the water tank on rugs or carpets.
• Empty the water tank and remove the cleaning pad attachment from the robot before charging it.

Tips: When using the mopping mode, remove the central brush from its compartment to prevent risk of oxidation. This will make cleaning the robot easier!

Auto-emptying of robot
After each cleaning in suction mode (only), the robot will automatically empty its dust tank on its station.
The automatic emptying is carried out via the flap located underneath the robot. It is therefore essential to remove the H2O mop holder.

The robot then moves backwards on its station in order to position the dust tank discharge valve on the station’s suction circuit inlet. Once in contact, the automatic emptying starts. The robot then positions itself on its station from the front, in order to recharge. The frequency of emptying can be adjusted in the robot settings, from the AMIBOT HOME application.

NOTES :

• It is necessary to remove the H2O mop holder from the robot in order to perform an automatic emptying.

Starting the robot
Attach the 2-in-1 compartment and switch the robot on. Wait a few seconds to let it start up, then press the power button on the robot or the AUTO button on the remote control.

The robot starts its cleaning cycle in AUTO mode.

NOTE:

• If the robot is in standby mode, press the power button on the robot once or the AUTO button on the remote control to come out of standby.
• The robot’s cycle can be interrupted and it can be manually controlled using the remote control.

Daily
Scheduling can only be performed via the AMIBOT HOME mobile app. Set your preferred daily cleaning times via the mobile app.

Cleaning modes
The robot has five cleaning modes. These cleaning modes can be selected via the remote control or the AMIBOT HOME mobile app. AUTO and AREA TO CLEAN mode can also be selected via the robot.

AUTO mode

Press the power button on the robot or the AUTO button on the remote control. The robot uses its laser to scan the room to optimize its movements. It divides the room into areas in a zig-zag fashion to vacuum any debris and dust.
During an AUTO mode cleaning cycle, the robot may take a short break, so it can scan the room in real time and adapt its movements.

MAX mode

The MAX mode is useful for floors that are extremely dusty. The robot has three vacuum levels. Press the MAX button on the remote control to increase or decrease the robot’s vacuum level.

NOTE: MAX mode is only accessible when the robot is in vacuum mode. It cannot be selected while the water tank is inserted. However, you can regulate the water flow intensity via the remote control.

SPOT mode

This mode is the most effective when cleaning a particularly dirty area. With SPOT mode, the robot concentrates on a 1.5  m  x  1.5  m area. At the same time, it activates its MAX vacuum power to vacuum the dust from the floor more easily.

AREA TO CLEAN mode

The robot’s AREA TO CLEAN mode is available to clean a particular area. With this mode, the robot cleans an area of 1.8 m x 1.8 m. To use this mode, you need to place the robot in the area you want to clean and press the Home base button on the robot for 3 seconds or the AREA TO CLEAN button on the remote control.

HOME mode

If you need to charge the robot at any time while in use, you can do so by pressing the Home base button. The robot will automatically go back to its home base once it has completed its cleaning cycle (the time it needs to search depends on the distance between the home base and if there are any obstacles along its route).

Pause
To pause the robot, press the power button on the robot or the OK button on the remote control.

Stopping the robot
When the robot finishes its cleaning cycle, it goes back to its home base. Press the power button on the robot or the OK button on the remote control to manually stop the robot.
With the Spirit Premium Station version, the robot automatically empties the dust in its compartment when it returns to the auto-empty station. The frequency with which the compartment empties automatically can be modified directly via the application.

Switching off the robot

Press the power button for 5 seconds.
The robot is switched off.

NOTE: never switch off the robot when it is on the home base.

Maintenance

Side brushesUnclip the side brushes by gently pulling them upwards and rinse them under clean water. Wait until they are completely dry before reusing them.
Check that the left brush is marked with an “L” and the right brush is marked with an “R”. The engraved letters on the side brushes and the robot are there to guide you.
NOTE: Side brushes must be replaced if you notice that their original shape has changed.

Side wheels and castor

Wipe the side wheels with a dry cloth to remove built up dust.

Pull firmly on the castor block to remove it. Then remove all the debris from inside the cavity using a soft cloth. Use a slotted screwdriver to remove the castor from its frame and wipe it clean. Remove the hair and other debris caught around the axle.

2. Carefully shake the pre filter and protection filter to remove any dust particles and rinse it with clean water. Let it completely dry before putting it back in the dustbin.

Water tank

Empty the water tank of any remaining water and rinse it with clean water. Regularly check that the tank’s two drip nozzles are not obstructed by debris or limescale. Clean them with a soft cloth. Wait until the water tank is completely dry before reusing it.

Gap and power sensors

The gap and power sensors on the bottom of the robot and on the home base must be regularly cleaned with a soft cloth. Never let the sensors get wet.

Central brush

Unclip the central brush’s cover underneath the robot and remove the main brush. Clean the cavity using a soft cloth and remove dust and hair caught around the brush. Run under clean water for optimum cleaning. Wait until it is fully dry before putting it back.

Microfibre cleaning pads
The microfibre cleaning pads are machine washable at 30° maximum or may be hand-washed with clean water and your usual washing detergent.
NOTE: Accessories need to be replaced in accordance with how frequently the robot is used and the amount and type of debris that it picks up.

Auto-empty station (Spirit Premium Station version)
