Warnings for the Use of the Appliance

⚠ CAUTION:

• Do not charge the rechargeable battery unattended.
• Place the charging station so that the appliance is not exposed to direct sunlight or other sources of heat.
• Do not suck up moisture or liquids!
• Do not use the wipe function if you want to operate the appliance by schedule. As soon as the water tank is installed, the water starts to drip out. This could cause damage to parquet and laminate flooring!
• In addition, always charge the rechargeable battery without the water tank to avoid the risk of electric shock.
• Lay the cable from the power supply unit so that no one can trip over it.

Handling Batteries

• Batteries can leak battery acid. If the remote control will not be used for a longer period of time, remove the batteries.
• If a battery leaks, do not rub the liquid into the eyes or mucous membranes. In case of contact, wash hands, rinse eyes with clean water. Seek medical attention if any discomfort persists.
• Different battery types and new and used batteries must not be used together.
• Batteries are not to be disposed of together with domestic wastes. Return used batteries to the responsible collection points or to the dealer.

Notes for Use

• The appliance is operated using the rechargeable battery. Charging is done via the supplied charging station with power supply unit.
• The appliance sucks up loose dirt through the nozzle. For more efficient cleaning, the appliance has a rotating brush and a rubber lip.
• Do not use the appliance to vacuum up construction debris.
• Dirty filters reduce the suction power of the appliance, so we recommend cleaning the dust container and filters after each use.
• If the appliance runs into a wall or other obstacles, it changes its driving direction.
• Do not change the conditions of the room while the appliance is working. For example, if you close a door through which the appliance was previously able to pass unhindered, the appliance will try to enter the other room until you open the door again.
• From a height of approx. 90 mm, the appliance also cleans underneath pieces of furniture. If the appliance gets stuck under a piece of furniture, the appliance stops operating after a short time. The control lamp in the button flashes red and a signal tone is heard approximately every 10 seconds.
• If the appliance is lifted during operation, two beeps are heard after a few seconds. The appliance then switches 15 to sleep mode. If you continue to hold the appliance in your hand, the appliance will beep again at regular intervals. When you place the appliance back on the floor, you will hear a beep.
• Due to the design, cleaning carpets and driving over edges is only possible to a limited extent. Short pile carpets with low edges can be driven over. For long-pile carpets, please use a conventional 230 V floor hoover.
• The sensors on the underside of the appliance detect steps or other depressions so that the appliance cannot fall down.

⚠ CAUTION: Before each use, make sure that the sensors are clean, otherwise the appliance may fall.
Nevertheless, depending on the nature of the stair tread (colouring, construction, etc.), the sensors may not be able to detect the landing. Do not leave the appliance unattended, especially near the stairs.

Before Using the Appliance

• Clear the floor of any objects lying around that could obstruct the side brushes or get caught in the nozzle or stop the appliance from cleaning.
• Remove all objects that could be knocked over (e. g. vases, small lamps, decorative items, etc.).
• Make sure that no cables, cords or fringes, e. g. from curtains, tablecloths or carpets, are accessible to the appliance. If necessary, fold the edges of carpets with fringes under the carpet. The appliance could otherwise get caught in them.
