How to clean the glass

• Step I: “Dry Clean” first
  • Use a clean and dry cleaning cloth to clean dust and dirt from the glass.
• If there is water or detergent on the cloth or glass, the water or detergent will mix together with the dust or dirt to become mud, making cleaning results bad.
  • Using Robot on sunny days or days with low humidity for best results.
• Don’t use Robot on rainy or high humidity days, otherwise it will produce white streaks. The white streaks are water molecules. This is the same thing that can happen when manually cleaning with a cloth.
  • Step II: Use a clean and dry cleaning cloth. Keep the cleaning cloth on the upper wheel clean and dry. Spray a little detergent (1~2 sprays) on the lower wheel’s cleaning cloth, but not too much (if too wet, the machine can’t move well), then clean the glass again.
• The device can be remote controlled from the front and back sides.
• If you have to replace the battery, just pull down the battery cover.
• Insert-shaped joint deep into the machine power interface and tighten the screws, as shown in the figure above

Using the cleaning ring and the cleaning cloth

1. Cover the cleaning ring with cleaning cloth.
2. Put the cleaning ring onto the cleaning wheel correctly (snap the 6 latches) to avoid leakage.
