Before cleaning

Please read the following tips to improve cleaning efficiency. Tidy up cables, cords, small and loose items. Remove any unstable, fragile, precious or dangerous items from the ground. Make sure each room door is open. Your robot may encounter some difficulties on dark floors and on carpets: with fringes, too thick, with long piles, too light (ex: bathroom carpet). For optimum anti- drop sensors efficiency, remove any item (ex: shoe) from the stairs. When using the robot in a raised area, place a physical barrier at the edge of a drop to prevent accidental falls. Do not stand in narrow spaces, such as hallways so the robot is not blocked.

Install the robot

• Flash the QR-Code above to know how to install and connect the robot in video. Read the following instructions for more detailed informations.

• Remove all protections (protective films) on the station and on the robot. Reverse the robot, install the side brush by gently clipping it. The side brush is correctly installed when you hear a click sound.
• Turn the station upside down. Remove the bottom cover of the docking station and connect the adapter. Pay attention to arranging adapter connection wire to avoid being wound during sweep. Put the bottom cover back.
• Install the docking station on a hard and flat floor. Avoid parquet, wooden floors and carpet. Place the station in a clear space against a wall, with no stairs in front of the station. Keep at least 0.5 m of clearance on either side and 1.5 m in front. Make sure the chosen location is close to the Wi-Fi box or has good Wi-Fi signal strength. Keep the area around the station clear from any object, reflective surface, mirror, table and chair. Keep the station away from direct sunlight. Plug the power cable. Make sure the power cable remains against the wall.
• Turn the robot on by pressing and holding the “Power” button until the robot lights turn on (~5 seconds). Place the robot from 20 to 50 cm in front of the station. Press the “Home” button, the robot will automatically dock to the station. (Do not manually place the robot against the station). Wait 3-4 hours for the robot to be fully charged. The station light is off when the robot is charging. For the first-time cleaning, please ensure that the robot is fully charged. The robot is fully charged when the white indicators on the robot are normally set on. For the first time use, the robot will explore the environment and clean your home at the same time. Once it is done, the robot will come back where it started and the map of your home will be displayed on your app. Do not lift the robot during the first cleaning, it prevents the map creation.
• This robot is equipped with a fixed laser technology. It means that it will need to self-relocate often by turning on itself while cleaning. This is how it detects its environment. If you have carpets with fringes, please place barriers around carpets to prevent the robot from getting stuck in the fringes.
• If you have an outdoor area (garden, balcony, patio, etc.) accessible with a threshold less than 2 cm high or without threshold (for example with a French window, a patio door, a bay window, etc.), please close this access to the robot.
