Tips on how to get the best results

Before cleaning, remove smaller and fragile objects such as clothing, curtain strings, papers and power cords from the floor. If the device passes over a power cord and drags it, there is a risk that an object could be pulled off a table or shelf.
Larger/taller objects such as chairs can be left as the robot will clean around them.
Dust emptying between scheduled cleanings
To get the most out of scheduled cleaning, empty the dust container regularly.
Preparing the cleaning area

area (A) Leave a space of 40 cm around furniture without legs.
(B) The robot easily crosses thresholds with a height up to 15 mm.
(C) It cleans under furniture with more than 95 mm space under.
(D) Place the charging base on the left side of a door.
(E) The robot detects stairs and steep cliffs.

Use the magnet strip

To limit the robot to clean a specific area, you can use the magnet strip to set up the area.

  1.  Set up the specific cleaning area with the magnet strip stick on the floor.
    The robot will not cross the magnetic strip while cleaning.

Tips on how to get the best results

Always carry the robot with two hands keeping the front up. Manual moving of the robot:
Moving the robot during the cleaning process is not advised, as it might restart the cleaning from the beginning.

Cleaning of a house with more than one floor can be facilitated by using an extra charging base on each floor. (Ref: DS-ER71)

Turn the robot off

Turn the robot off: There is also the possibility to turn the robot completely off, in case you are not using it for a certain amount of time. To do this, please follow the steps:
– Lift and carry the robot away from the charging base.
– Press the power button on the robot for 5 seconds.
– When the button turns dark, the robot is fully off.

To restart the robot, insert it into the charging base again. It is also possible to turn it off in the charging base, then you need to lift it and put it in the charging base again to use it.
