SPECIFICATIONS

BEFORE USE

Before First Use

1. Remove the appliance and its accessories from the packaging. Before disposing of packaging, make sure no components are left inside. Check the appliance for damage.
2. Remove all stickers and labels from the appliance.

Installing the Rotary Brushes

1. Turn the vacuum upside down.
2. Press the rotary brushes into the sockets on the bottom of the device until they click into place. Make sure to align the L and R markings on the brushes with those on the device.
3. Turn the vacuum right side up again.
   The rotary brushes are designed for cleaning smooth floors. They allow efficient cleaning in corners and along wall and furniture edges. When vacuuming carpets, make sure to first remove the rotary brushes. To do so, reverse the installation procedure described above.

Inserting and Removing the Battery
The vacuum cleaner is powered by a built-in rechargeable Li-Ion battery (Li- Ion 14.8 V, 1,500 mAh). Where the battery is delivered separately, it must be installed in the device before first charge and use.

Warning:
Only use the battery supplied with the device or a manufacturer-recommended replacement.

1. Make sure the device is powered off, with the main power switch in the 0 (off) position.
2. Turn the vacuum upside down.
3. Unscrew the battery cover plate.
4. Carefully remove the cover plate and pull out the charging plug.
5. Connect the charging plug to the battery and insert the battery (so that the side with lettering faces up).
6. Tuck the charging cord into the space around the battery. Avoid excessively bending or otherwise deforming the cord to prevent damage.
7. Replace the cover plate and tighten the screws.

Note:
When replacing the battery, the procedure is the same, except that the old battery needs to be unplugged and removed first.

Charging
The vacuum needs to be charged to full before first use. This first charge may take up to 6 hours.

1. Place the vacuum on a flat and dry surface within reach of a power socket.
2. Set the main switch to the I (on) position.
3. Plug the power adapter’s cord into the vacuum cleaner.
4. Plug the other end of the adapter into a properly grounded mains socket.
5. The button will flash while the vacuum is charging. Once full charge is reached, the button will glow steadily. Subsequent recharging takes 3.5 to 4.5 hours, assuming regular use.
6. Once the battery is full, unplug the power adapter from the charging port on the vacuum and from the wall.

Once the button begins to glow red, the vacuum needs a recharge. Charge the vacuum after each use.

Note:
During prolonged disuse, recharge the vacuum once every 2 to 3 months to extend the useful life of the battery pack.

Remote Control
Before using the remote control, insert its batteries.

1. On the bottom of the remote, remove the battery cover plate.
2. Remove both batteries and insert new ones (2x 1.5 V AAA). Observe the polarity markings on the bottom of the battery compartment.
3. Replace the cover.

The procedure is the same when replacing batteries, except that old batteries must be removed first.

If you want to use the remote control, point it to the signal receiver on the appliance. The maximum range of signal sent from the remote control is 6 m. If obstacles are located between the remote control and the appliance, the signal cannot be transmitted.
If you will not use the remote control for a long time, we recommend removing the batteries. If the batteries leaked into the interior of the remote control, it could damage it.

Warning:
Never put batteries in fire, short circuit or damage them in any way. After the end of their lifetime, discard them in environmentally friendly manner. Never dispose of batteries in household waste. Always replace both batteries together. Do not mix rechargeable and single-use battery types.

Preparing the Room for Cleaning
Before using the vacuum, take these steps to avoid damage to the appliance or other property, or hazardous situations.

1. Clear the floor of all cables and small items that might entangle the vacuum.
2. Secure any free carpet edges on which the vacuum might trip and tassels it might suck in. The vacuum is not designed to clean carpets with pile height exceeding 26 mm (1 in).
3. Prevent the vacuum from attempting to enter spaces with less than 70 mm clearance; it might get stuck. If necessary, block off such spaces by setting a suitable ground-standing object before them.
4. The vacuum is not designed for cleaning wet areas. Do not expose it to water or moisture.
5. The vacuum can drive over obstacles up to 16 mm high. Remove taller obstacles if necessary.
6. The vacuum is equipped with surface sensors, designed to keep it from falling off stairs etc. These sensors’ readings can be fouled by dirt on the sensor eye, dark or reflective floor materials, and other adverse conditions. We thus recommend blocking off areas where the vacuum might fall off a step or ledge with suitable obstacles.

Power On / Off

1. Set down the vacuum in the room to be cleaned. Make sure it has a full charge.
2. Set the main switch to the I (on) position.
3. Turn the appliance on by pressing on the vacuum itself or on the remote. The vacuum will turn on in automatic cleaning mode.
4. When the vacuum is operating, the button on its body will glow blue.
5. Once the space has been cleaned or if you need to stop cleaning, press on the vacuum or on the remote. The vacuum will stop cleaning and go to standby mode.
6. To power down completely, set the main switch to 0 (off).

Cleaning Mode Selection
The cleaning mode can only be changed using the remote control.

1. Edge Cleaning Mode
   The edge cleaning mode allows for effective cleaning along walls, furniture edges, etc.
   The vacuum will start out same as in automatic mode, but will slow down and then keep hugging a wall or edge as soon as it detects one. The slower speed allows better cleaning of such places. Once the vacuum detects an end to the edge it has been following, it will return to automatic cleaning mode.
   To turn on edge cleaning mode, press on the remote.

2. Thorough Cleaning Mode
   Thorough mode improves the thoroughness of cleaning in a bordered space. Once activated, the vacuum will move in a squared spiral, cleaning the space from the center outward. This approach allows for maximum coverage and effectiveness.
   To turn on thorough cleaning mode, press on the remote.

3. Automatic Cleaning Mode
   In automatic mode, the vacuum combines various pathfinding algorithms to efficiently cover the entire floor space.
   Automatic mode is the default mode the vacuum starts in when powered on.
   To turn on automatic cleaning mode, press on the remote.

Note:
In some situations, the vacuum will switch to a different mode on its own, usually in reaction to obstacles or other features of the room. This is normal behavior intended to improve the efficiency of the vacuum’s cleaning routine.

Wet Cleaning Attachment
This rear-mounted attachment allows the appliance to also wipe the floor it has just vacuumed.

1. Rinse the provided rag in warm water; use a modest amount of a detergent suitable for the flooring type to be cleaned. Wring out the rag and mount it onto the wet cleaning attachment’s frame.
2. Turn the vacuum upside down an click the attachment into place in its sockets.
3. Turn the vacuum right side up again and power on.

Note:
In larger and/or dirtier rooms, you will likely need to remove, rinse, wring, and remount the rag at some point. When removing the rag, always first power down the vacuum and set the main power switch to the 0 (off) position.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Before any cleaning or maintenance, first power off the appliance and unplug the adapter from the wall socket.
For best cleaning efficiency and service life, the vacuum should be cleaned after each use.

Warning:
Never immerse the appliance or adapter in water or other liquids.
Never clean any part of the appliance with plastic or metal scrapers, harsh cleaners, chemicals, hydrocarbon cleaners, solvents, or similar substances. The surface finish could be seriously damaged.

Cleaning the Rotary Brushes

1. Unmount the brushes from the appliance frame and clean them.
2. Heavily soiled brushes should be rinsed in running water, then set out to dry. If a brush has bent bristles, straighten them by immersing the brush in warm water.
3. Only remount the brushes on the vacuum once they are completely dry.
4. Damaged rotary brushes should be replaced.

Cleaning the Dustbin and Filter Assembly
The dustbin needs to be emptied as necessary, which may occur in mid-cleaning. Make sure the device is powered off, with the main power switch in the 0 (off) position.

1. Open the cover plate.

2. Remove the dustbin and check that the suction aperture is free of blockage. Clean both as required.

3. Remove the HEPA filter frame.

4. Open the dustbin lid and carefully remove the bulk filter.

5. Empty the dustbin in the trash. From a sanitation perspective, it is best to empty the dustbin outside living areas.

6. If required, the dustbin and bulk filter can be rinsed in running water, then set out to dry.

7. Remove the HEPA filter from its frame, take it outside the living area, and shake it out. You can also clean it using the provided brush. HEPA filters may not be rinsed in water. A damaged or excessively soiled HEPA filter needs to be replaced.
   Note:
   Dirty or damaged HEPA and bulk filters may decrease suction power and, therefore, cleaning performance; for this and other reasons the filters should be kept clean.

8. Make sure all parts are clean and dry. Insert the bulk filter into the dustbin and close the lid. Insert the HEPA filter into its frame, then insert the assembly into the dustbin.

9. Insert the complete dustbin and filter assembly into its bay in the appliance and close the cover plate.

Cleaning the Wet Cleaning Attachment

1. Carefully remove the rag from the attachment frame and rinse it in warm water. Add a modest amount of mild laundry detergent if required. Wash the rag by hand until clean. Rinse the rag in warm water, wring out by hand, and hang out to dry.
2. Remove the wet cleaning attachment from the vacuum; wipe clean with a soft, slightly wet sponge if needed. Wipe dry with a clean cloth.

Note:
The rag should not be machine-washed or -dried.

Cleaning the Sensors
The sensors on the bottom of the vacuum allow it to safely navigate a room, and should be cleaned regularly.
Wipe the sensors with a soft, dry sponge.

Cleaning the Frame
Wipe the outer body of the vacuum with a clean, dry cloth.
Turn the vacuum upside down and remove any hair and dirt that may have become entangled in the castors.
Check that the suction aperture is free of dirt or other blockage. If required, clean the suction aperture with a soft, slightly wet sponge.
