Your robot may encounter some difficulties on carpets: with fringes, too thick, with long piles, too light (ex: bathroom carpet)

Plug the adaptor to the power jack on the side of the base. Only use the charger provided with the robot: do not use universal chargers. Connect the power cord plug to the main socket. When the power cord is plugged check the upper side of the base if the green light is shining.

To place the docking station, make sure there is an empty area of 1m on each side and 2m in front of the docking station. Do not install the docking station near stairs. The cable must be tight. Always place the docking station on hard floor. Do not place the docking station on carpet.

To charge the robot turn it on by pushing the on / off button for 3 seconds. Place the robot on the docking station: the charging plates on the robot must touch those on the docking station.

When the on/off button blinks the robot is charging. Once the on / off button stops blinking it is fully charged (6h for the battery to be fully charged).

The robot has drop sensors to detect stairs and gaps. The robot will change direction when detecting them. In order to correctly detect the floor level difference, make sure there are no objects (bags, shoes…) on the floor next to gaps, stairs or on the stairs’ steps. The step must be more than 10 cm away to be detected.

To start the cleaning session, press the start button on the robot.

To end the cleaning session, press the button on the robot. To send the robot back to its docking station, press twice on the robot’s button.

To clean all accessible areas of your home, use the random mode of the robot.

To clean along the walls and in the corners use the edge mode of the robot.

To fully benefit all the possibilities brought by your robot, download the free app « Tefal Robots » (you can use the QR code above to find it on app store or Google play) on your smartphone. Just let you guided by the instructions in the app to enjoy the robot!

The robot should be emptied and cleaned at least once a week. Push the button on the backside of the robot and pull out the dust container. To empty it, flip off the cover.

To clean the filters remove them from the dust container. Tap the filter grid gently over a garbage bin to shake off the dust. Wash the foam filter, filter grid and dust container with clear water. Do not wet the fine dust filter (white filter).

Let all parts dry approximately 12 hours. Do not use wet filter or dust container. When dry put the filters back in the dust container.

Every 6 months replace the fine dust and foam filter with new ones to maintain optimal performance.

Clean the brush of the robot once a week. To do that turn the robot upside down. To remove the brush, open the brush guard by pushing the 2 snap latches and pull it up. Then pull out the brush from the robot.

To clean the brush, use scissors to cut off the hair. Clean the lateral brushes of the robot with a dry clean cloth.

Replace lateral brushes every 6 months. Throw away the old brushes and replace them with new ones. Screw the new brushes on the robot.

Attention: Before touching sensitive parts of the robot make sure it is turned off by pressing the on / off button 3 seconds.

Once a week clean the following parts with a dry soft cloth: charging plates of the robot, drop sensors, distance sensor and charging plates at the docking station.

Do not throw the robot in the bin.
Always wear gloves and protection.

Attention: Before removing the battery turn off the robot. Turn the robot upside down to get access to the battery slot. Remove the battery by pressing snap latches of the battery slot and pull the battery up. Disconnect the battery from the robot. Recycle the battery and robot.
