PURPOSE OF USE AND FEATURES OF THE ROBOTIC VACUUM CLEANER

The robotic vacuum cleaner is intended for cleaning various types of hard floors such as wooden or laminate floating floors, tiles, vinyl, etc. and carpets with a low pile height. While vacuuming, it effectively combines various routes to optimally clean the entire floor area.
The suction hole A17 effectively removes hair, animal fur, etc. The two side rotary brushes A11 and A16 brush dirt out of hard-to-reach places along walls and furniture and out of corners. The motorized rubber wheels A13 and A18 protect sensitive floors against scratching and can travel over threshold strips up to a height of 1 cm and ride on to a 2 cm high carpet.
The suspended bumper A1 enables the vacuum cleaner to dampen the approach to an obstacle and to efficiently clean around it. The infrared sensors in the front bumper prevent the robotic vacuum cleaner from colliding with obstacles. Safe operation in rooms with stairs is made possible by the bottom anti-stair-fall sensors A12.
Another advantage of a robotic vacuum cleaner is the mop function, which enables dry and wet wiping of smooth hard floor surfaces. While wiping, the robotic vacuum cleaner vacuums small bits of dirt and dust from the floor to prevent the duster from being excessively soiled during the cleaning cycle.
The power button is equipped with an indicator that clearly shows the operating status: weak battery (red), charging battery (flashing blue), fully charged (lit blue), error status or full dust container (both red).

PREPARING THE ROBOTIC VACUUM CLEANER FOR OPERATION

INSTALLING AND USING THE ROTARY BRUSHES

The rotary brushes A11 and A16 are intended for smooth floor surfaces and ensure effective cleaning in corners, along walls and furniture.
Turn the vacuum cleaner upside down. Prepare the rotary brushes A11 and A16. Gradually push both the brushes precisely and with force on to the pins intended for them. While doing this, make sure that the marks L and R both on the brushes and on the robotic vacuum cleaner match. Turn the robotic vacuum cleaner back over to the operating position.
When using the robotic vacuum cleaner to clean rooms with carpets, remove the rotary brushes. When removing them, proceed in the reverse sequence to their installation.

INSERTING AND REMOVING THE BATTERY

The robotic vacuum cleaner is equipped with a Li-ion battery C1. If the battery is packed separately, it is necessary to connect it to the robotic vacuum cleaner before first use. Use only the original battery type.
Make sure that the robotic vacuum cleaner is turned off with the power button A3. Turn the robotic vacuum cleaner upside down and pull off the cover A15.
Connect the connector C2, which is located inside the battery compartment, to the battery connector C3. The battery can only be connected in one direction.
Insert the battery into the battery compartment C3.
Put the cover A15 back on and turn the robotic vacuum cleaner back over to the operating position.
Take the battery C1 out in reverse sequence. Prior to removing the battery, always check that the robotic vacuum cleaner is turned off using the power button A3.
When the robotic vacuum cleaner will not be used for an extended period of time, take out the battery and store it in a dry, clean and cool place out of children’s reach.

CHARGING THE BATTERY FOR THE FIRST TIME

Before using the robotic vacuum cleaner for the first time, it is recommended to fully charge the battery for a period of at least 8 hours. Thereafter, a standard charge will take approximately 2 – 2,5 hours.
Insert the power adapter plug B2 on the power adapter cable B1 into the socket A9 of the vacuum cleaner, and insert the power adapter mains plug into a power socket.
During the charging process, the indicator on the power button A3 will flash blue.
When the battery is fully charged, the indicator on the power button A3 will remain permanently lit blue. The robotic vacuum cleaner is now ready for use.

OPERATING THE ROBOTIC VACUUM CLEANER

Note:
Before starting the robotic vacuum cleaner, always check that the dust container A5, together with the dust filter A7, is inserted in place.

Place the vacuum cleaner on the floor in a location with enough free space. Check that the entry door into your apartment or house is closed. From the floor surfaces, remove clothing, paper, toys, power or extension cords and other items that the vacuum cleaner could suck in or catch. Lift curtains and drapes that reach to the floor so that they do not get caught in the vacuum cleaner.

Tip:
When vacuuming in a new environment for the first time, carefully observe the movement of the robotic vacuum cleaner. This will enable you to recognize problematic obstacles and remove them for the next cleaning session.

Turn on the robotic vacuum cleaner by pressing the power button A3. The robotic vacuum cleaner will start vacuuming.
The indicator on the power button is not lit in any color when the robotic vacuum cleaner is running. In the event that an error occurs, for example one of the wheels on the robotic vacuum cleaner becomes jammed, the indicator will be lit red and an acoustic signal will be made.
If the dust container fills up while vacuuming, the indicator will be lit red and a sound signal will be made.
If the battery is almost flat, the robotic vacuum cleaner will stop automatically. The indicator will be lit red and an acoustic sound will be made. When the battery is completely flat, the red indicator will turn off.
To stop the vacuum cleaner, press the power button A3.
Empty the dust container A5 after each use according to the instructions contained in chapter Maintenance and cleaning.

USING THE MOP

The mop is an auxiliary function to the robotic vacuum cleaner and is intended for dry or wet cleaning of smooth hard floor areas. It consists of the holder B4 and an anti-static duster B5.

Attention:
Only use the mop intended for this type of robotic vacuum cleaner. Do not use the holder B4 without the anti-static duster B5.
The mop is not intended for cleaning carpets.

Attach the anti-static duster B5 to the holder B4 using the Velcro zip tape on the holder.
Turn the vacuum cleaner upside down. Click the assembled mop into the holes A14 and A19 in the robotic vacuum cleaner and turn it back over to its normal operating position.
Start the robotic vacuum cleaner.
When you have finished cleaning, remove the mop in reverse sequence to its installation. Rinse the duster B5 under running water, thoroughly wring it dry and allow it to dry.

CHARGING THE ROBOTIC VACUUM CLEANER

Prior to charging it, always turn off the robotic vacuum cleaner using the power button A3.
Insert the power adapter plug B2 on the power adapter cable B1 into the socket A9 of the vacuum cleaner, and insert the power adapter mains plug into a power socket.
During the charging process, the indicator on the power button A3 will flash blue. Thereafter, a standard charge will take approximately 4 hours.
When the battery is fully charged, the indicator on the power button A3 will remain permanently lit blue. The robotic vacuum cleaner is now ready for use.

Note:
To ensure optimal performance of the battery and to extend its lifespan, we recommend that you always allow the battery to fully recharge.
If you forget to turn off the robotic vacuum cleaner before charging the battery, you need to first turn it off after charging it and only then turn it on again.

CARING FOR THE BATTERY

We recommend that you do not interrupt the charging cycle and that you maintain the battery C1 in a charged state.
Do not leave the robotic vacuum cleaner standing fully charged or completely flat for an unnecessarily long period of time.
A battery C1 that is allowed to remain flat for a long time may self-discharge below a permissible level and thereby cause irreparable damage to itself.
