Operating And Programming

Notes Before Cleaning

Before operating DEEBOT, take a few moments to survey the area to be cleaned and remove any obstacles.

• Please take care of DEEBOT and assist it at its first time of cleaning.
• The product is not suitable for use on carpet. Before using the product near an area rug or on a short-pile area rug with tasseled edges, please fold area rug edges under themselves.
• Remove power cords and small objects from the floor that could entangle the product, and tidy up the cleaning area to put furniture like chairs in their proper place.
• Please be aware that the robot needs at least an 8 cm (3.1″) clearance to clean under furniture without complications.
• Please do not stand in narrow spaces, such as hallways, or DEEBOT may fail to identify the area to be cleaned.
• If there is a step or stairs in the cleaning area, please operate DEEBOT to ensure its Anti- Drop Sensors can detect the drop off. It may be necessary to place a physical barrier at the edge of the drop off to keep the unit from falling over the edge.

Quick Start

• Remove the protective strip from the robot’s Bumper before use.

Charging Dock Placement

• Place the Charging Dock on a level floor surface against the wall with the base perpendicular to the ground. Keep the immediate area 1.5m (5′) in front of the charger and 0.5m (1.6) on both sides of the charger clear of objects and reflective object surfaces.
• Plug the Charging Dock in.

Install Side Brushes

• Attach Side Brushes to the bottom of DEEBOT by pressing a brush into each slot with the matching color until it clicks.

Power ON

• Open the robot’s Top Cover. Turn the robot’s Power Switch to the ON position.

• DEEBOT is powered ON when DEEBOT emits a musical sound and the AUTO Mode Button stays illuminated.

• When DEEBOT is not cleaning, it is suggested to keep it powered ON and charging instead of powered OFF.

Charge DEEBOT

• Place DEEBOT on the Charging Dock making sure the Charging Contacts on DEEBOT and the Charging Dock Pins make a connection.
• Charge DEEBOT for at least 4 hours before the first use.

Note

• Make sure to turn the robot’s Power Switch to the ON position before charging.
• AUTO Mode Button blinks when DEEBOT is charging. AUTO Mode Button stops glowing when DEEBOT is fully charged.
• When DEEBOT completes the cleaning cycle or when battery power gets low, DEEBOT automatically returns to the Charging Dock to recharge itself. DEEBOT can also be sent back to the Charging Dock at any time by pressing the Return to Charger Button on the Remote Control.
• Empty any remaining water from the Reservoir and remove the Cleaning Cloth Plate before charging DEEBOT.

Cleaning Mode Selection

DEEBOT has several cleaning modes to choose from to effectively clean different floors. Cleaning modes are selected using the Remote Control or ECOVACS App.

1. AUTO Cleaning Mode

   • This is the most commonly used mode. In AUTO Cleaning Mode, DEEBOT plans the most efficient route and cleans in a back and forth straight-line pattern.

2. Spot Cleaning Mode
   (1-5 minutes)

   • This mode is applicable for an area of highly concentrated dirt or dust. In Spot Cleaning Mode, DEEBOT focuses on a specific area to clean.

3. Edge Cleaning Mode

   • This mode is good for cleaning the edges and corners of a room. In Edge Cleaning Mode, DEEBOT cleans along a border (e.g. wall).

Programming the Robot

DEEBOT has an Intelligent Scheduling and a Time Scheduling function to schedule cleaning times. DEEBOT can be programmed to automatically clean with Intelligent Scheduling using the robot’s Control Panel. DEEBOT can also be programmed with Time Scheduling using the App.
All scheduled cleanings are performed in AUTO Cleaning Mode.

Intelligent Scheduling

Set Intelligent Scheduling

• DEEBOT can be scheduled to cleaning once per day at the same time, even if nobody is at home.
• Double-click the AUTO Mode Button on DEEBOT to set the current time as the scheduled cleaning time.
• Intelligent Scheduling is set when the robot beeps. DEEBOT will automatically clean at the set time every day.
• For example: Set Intelligent Scheduling successfully at 9:00am, and DEEBOT automatically cleans at 9:00am every day.

Cancel Intelligent Scheduling

• Double-Click the AUTO Mode Button on DEEBOT when DEEBOT is paused. Intelligent Scheduling is cancelled when the robot beeps.

Note

• To automatically clean at another time, first cancel the current Intelligent Scheduling, then set Intelligent Scheduling again at the desired time.
• If DEEBOT is turned OFF, Intelligent Scheduling is cancelled.

Optional Mopping System

DEEBOT has an optional Mopping System using a Washable/Reusable Microfiber Cleaning Cloth and Cleaning Cloth Plate attached to a proprietary Reservoir. The washable/reusable Cleaning Cloth automatically damp mops the floor to a spotless clean.

Troubleshooting

Please use this chart to troubleshoot common problems using DEEBOT.

Switch to the ON position.

DEEBOT has not made a connection with the Charging Dock.

| Be sure that the robot’s Charging Contacts have made a connection with the Charging Dock Pins. You may move the robot manually to make the connection if necessary.

Charging Dock is unplugged while DEEBOT is powered ON, which causes battery consumption.

| Plug in the Charging Dock and ensure DEEBOT is powered ON. Keep DEEBOT on the Charging Dock to make sure it has full battery to work at any time.

The battery is completely discharged.

| Re-activate the battery. Place DEEBOT on the Charging Dock by hand, remove after charging for 3 minutes, repeat 3 times; then charge normally.
2| DEEBOT cannot return to the Charging Dock.| ****

The Charging Dock is not placed properly.

| ****

Refer to section 3.2 to place the Charging Dock properly.

3| DEEBOT gets into trouble while working and stops.| DEEBOT is tangled with something on the floor (electrical cords, drooping curtains, area rug fringe etc.).| DEEBOT will try various ways to get itself out of trouble. If it is

unsuccessful, check the Side Brushes and remove anything tangled around the Side Brushes, or manually remove the obstacles and restart.

4| DEEBOT returns to
the Charging Dock before it finishes
cleaning.| When battery power gets low, DEEBOT automatically switches to Return to Charger Mode and returns to the Charging Dock to recharge itself.|

This is normal. No solution necessary.

Working time varies
according to floor surface, room complexity and the selected Cleaning Mode.|

This is normal. No solution necessary.
