bObsweep WVP58021 Bob PetHair Vision Plus Robotic Vacuum Owner’s Manual

Congratulations!
Congratulations on your new intelligent floor cleaner! Bob is now at your service. To see Bob at his best, please read the Quick Start Guide and this manual thoroughly.

Welcome to the bObsweep family and Happy Sweeping!

Important Safety Instructions

Power Bob OFF and remove him from a power source when you are not using him and before conducting maintenance.
Bob is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless under the close supervision of a person responsible for their safety.
Leaks from the battery cells can occur under extreme usage or temperature conditions. If the liquid gets on the skin, wash quickly with water. If the liquid gets into the eyes, flus them immediately with clean water for a minimum of 10 minutes, and seek medical attention.
Bob is composed of electronic components that in rare and unintended cases can cause hazards of heating, fire, and other malfunctions. Furthermore, because Bob is capable of autonomous movement, his use poses the risk of collision with property, pets, and persons. Unintended removal of articles — such as small valuables, jewelry, or hair of persons or pets lying on the floor — may also occur.
If Bob or his charging station has been damaged in any way, do not operate them. Contact our support team for further assistance.
Do not handle Bob or his charging station with wet hands; use only on dry surfaces.
Do not pull or carry the charging station by the cord, close a door on the cord, or pull the cord around sharp edges or corners. Keep the cord away from heated surfaces. To unplug the cord, grasp the plug, not the cord.
Do not attempt to open the charging station. Repairs on the station should only be carried out by our qualified technicians.
With the exception of the wet mop attachment, do not immerse any part of Bob into water or other liquids.
Do not mutilate or incinerate the battery, as it will explode at high temperatures.
Do not use Bob outdoors.
Do not expose Bob or his charging station to temperatures higher than 113° F (45° C), moisture, or humidity.
Do not dispose of your battery in fire. Old batteries should be recycled safely through your local recycler.
Do not let Bob pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
