• Warning: remove all objects around the robot such as clothing, papers, cables, curtains or other fragile objects. Fig. 16
• If the room to be cleaned is near a balcony or stairs, a physical barrier must be placed in order to prevent product damage and ensure safe operation. Fig. 17
• Direct exposure to sunlight or great light contrasts may affect the correct operation of the sensors. If this happens and the robot stops, change it to a new location for it to start operating again.

1. Place the charging base against the wall and leave a minimum free space of 2 metres to the front and 1 metre to each side. Fig. 18
2. Connect the charging base to a power socket. Wind and store the remaining cable in the lower part of the charging base to prevent accidents. Fig. 19

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Robot filter cleaning

• Remove the filter.
• Carefully shake off all dust from the filter. Fig. 37

Free-fall sensors cleaning
Use a clean, dry and soft cloth to wipe off any dust from the free-fall sensor located on the right side of the robot lower part.
Warning Do not apply cleaning products directly on the sensors.

Main brush and silicone brush cleaning

1. Slightly press the main brush frame tabs in order to open the main brush slot and remove it. Fig. 38
2. Remove any hair, lint or other dirt trapped in the brush and around the shafts. Fig. 39
3. Clear and clean the robot suction channel.
4. Reinstall the main brush and its frame.

High-efficiency filter

• The high-efficiency filter is designed with fibres that help trapping dust particles, dust mites, pollen… It is very important to periodically clean the filter, to avoid these particles from building up in the filter, causing efficiency loss. It is convenient to carry out this maintenance once a week.
• It is suggested to replace the filter by a new one after a maximum of 160 hours or less of use.
  Recommendations
  Dirt can be removed with a small brush or by shaking it carefully against a hard surface for dust to fall off. The high-efficiency filter cannot be washed.

Mesh primary filter and sponge filter
The filtering system is featured with a mesh primary filter and a sponge filter. It is suggested to replace them either after a maximum of 160 hours of use or when they are worn out due to operation.
Recommendations:
Dirt can be removed with a small brush or by shaking it carefully against a hard surface for dust to fall off. You can also use warm water without detergents to obtain better results. Always make sure they are completely dry before installing them again; otherwise, moisture can reach the robot motor and damage it.

Side brushes
Side brushes are designed with multiple bristles and are used to push dirt towards the suction nozzle and to thoroughly clean edges and corners. These brushes can wear out over time, affecting negatively to the cleaning efficiency. For this reason, it is suggested to replace each side brush after a maximum of 220 hours or less.
Recommendations:
It is recommended to clean the side brushes once a week with the help of the cleaning brush.

Main brush and silicone main brush
The main brush is designed with bristles and silicone, spins at top speed and helps introduce dirt into the suction nozzle. This brush is in contact with the floor, and therefore with dirt, so it can be worn out over time, affecting negatively to the cleaning efficiency. For this reason, it is suggested to replace the main brush after a maximum of 320 hours or less.
Recommendations:

• It is recommended to clean the main brush once a week with the help of the cleaning brush.
• Follow the same recommendations with the silicone main brush.

Sensors
The robot vacuum cleaners have different types of sensors, for example, proximity sensors that allow the robot to move around while detecting obstacles or free-fall sensors that help the robot detect slopes or possible gaps/unevenness such as staircases. These sensors are always in contact with dust particles, and therefore can be blocked over time, causing possible navigation errors. It is suggested to clean all the robot’s sensors with the cleaning brush or with a dry cloth after a maximum of 35 hours of operation or less.

Battery charge and replacement

1. To lengthen the battery shelf life, keep the robot charging on the charging base when not in use.
2. If the robot will not be used for a long period of time, remove the battery from the product and store it in a dry and safe place.
3. To replace the battery, follow the instructions below:
4. Unscrew the 2 screws on the battery slot, remove the battery cover and the battery.
5. Insert the new battery with the battery label facing up.
6. Place the battery and the battery cover in its place and properly fix the screws back again.
