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 effectively removes hair, animal fur, etc. The two side rotary brushes brush dirt out of hard-to-reach places along walls and furniture and out of corners. The motorised rubber wheels 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 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.
• Another advantage the 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.
• For easy identification of the operating state, the button on the top cover has an indicator light the colour of which indicates low battery voltage (lit red), battery charging (flashing red), full charge and operation (lit blue). Error states are then indicated by various numbers of flashes or colour combinations, see chapter TROUBLESHOOTING. Apart from the indicator lights, the vacuum cleaner also has audio signals that accompany certain functions or error states of the vacuum cleaner, see chapter AUDIO SIGNALS.

PREPARING THE ROBOTIC VACUUM CLEANER FOR OPERATION

INSTALLING AND USING THE ROTARY BRUSHES

• The rotary brushes A17 and A23 are intended for smooth floor surfaces and ensure effective cleaning in corners, along walls and furniture.
• Turn the vacuum cleaner upside down. Gradually push the rotary brushes precisely and with force on to the pins that are intended for them. While doing this, make sure that the marks L and R both on the brushes and on the vacuum cleaner match. Turn the robotic vacuum cleaner back over to the operating position.
• When using the 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 C6. If the battery is packed separately, it is necessary insert it into the vacuum cleaner before first use. Use only the original battery type.
• Make sure that the vacuum cleaner is turned off with the main switch A4. Turn the vacuum cleaner upside down and screw off the cover A20.
• Remove the connector C3 from the battery compartment C1.
• Slide the battery into the tube C2 and connect the battery connector C4 to vacuum cleaner connector C3.
• Screw the cover A20 back on and turn the vacuum cleaner back over to the operating position.
• Remove the battery in reverse sequence. Prior to removing the battery, always check that the vacuum cleaner is turned off using the main switch A4. To make removal easier, use the two insulating strips C5.
• When the 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.

LOCATION OF THE CHARGING STATION

• The charging station B3 serves to automatically recharge the battery and the vacuum cleaner must have good access to it.
• Locate the charging station against a wall on a hard, even and dry surface within reach of a power socket. Make sure that there are no stairs or obstacles within a distance of 1 m on the left and right of the charging station and within a distance of 2 m in front of the charging station, that would prevent the robotic vacuum cleaner from finding the charging station and docking successfully.
• Insert the power adapter plug B2 into socket B4 of the charging station, and insert the power cord plug into a power socket. Place the power cord in such a way that it does not tangle into the cleaning brushes of the robotic vacuum cleaner.
• In the event that the vacuum cleaner is not used for an extended period of time, disconnect the charging station from the power socket and store it in a dry, clean and cool place.

CHARGING THE BATTERY FOR THE FIRST TIME

Note: Prior to charging the battery, the vacuum cleaner must be turned on using the main switch A4.

• Before using the vacuum cleaner for the first time, it is necessary to fully charge the battery for at least 7 hours. Thereafter, a standard charge will take approximately 4 hours.
• Check that the charging station B3 is correctly positioned and connected to a power socket according to chapter Location of the charging station. Turn on the main switch A4 of the vacuum cleaner, grasp the robotic vacuum cleaner and manually place it into the charging station so that the charging contacts A16 on the underside of the vacuum cleaner and the charging contacts B5 on the charging station are connected. When the contacts are connected, the charging process will start.
• The vacuum cleaner can also be charged without using the charging station. Insert the plug B2 of the power adapter B1 into socket A5 of the vacuum cleaner, and insert the power cord plug into a power socket.
• During the charging process, the indicator light on button A2 will flash red.
• When the battery is fully charged, the indicator light of switch A2 will remain permanently lit blue and the process will end automatically. The vacuum cleaner is now ready for use.

INSERTING AND REPLACING BATTERIES IN THE REMOTE CONTROL

• Push down the latch of cover E13 on the rear side of the remote control E1 to release it and remove the cover.
• Insert two type AAA (1.5 V) batteries into the remote control. When inserting the batteries, ensure the correct polarity as shown inside the battery compartment E14. Put the cover E13 back on and click it into place.
• In the event that the batteries are flat, replace them with new ones. Do not combine various types of batteries or new and old batteries.
• The signal range of the remote control is approximately 6 m.

SETTING THE SYSTEM TIME OF THE ROBOTIC VACUUM  CLEANER

The system time of the vacuum cleaner is the actual time according to your time zone. It must be correctly set if you wish to use the scheduled cleaning function. In the stand-by mode or in the charging in the charging station mode, hold down button E11 (CLK) until the time setting value (hours and minutes) starts flashing on the display E2. Using buttons E5 ( △ ) or E8 ( ▽ ) set the time values. Toggle between the hour and minute numbers using buttons E6 ( ◁ ) or E7 ( ▷ ). Confirm the set time by pressing button E11 (CLK). 1x beep will be made and the set time will be saved to memory as the system time. If you do not perform any changes within 10 seconds, the system time setting mode will automatically be cancelled and the time will not be saved to memory.

When vacuuming in a new environment for the first time, carefully observe the movement of the vacuum cleaner. You can thereby recognise problematic obstacles and remove them for the next cleaning session.

AUTOMATIC CLEANING MODE

• Press button A2 or button E9 (ON/OFF) on the remote control. The vacuum cleaner will enter the automatic cleaning mode in which it combines zig-zag movements, along-the-wall movements and random-direction movements until the battery is almost completely flat. As soon as the vacuum cleaner detects a low battery voltage, it will end the cleaning process and seek out the charging station to recharge.

SPIRAL CLEANING MODE

• Press button E10 (MODE) on the remote control so that display E2 shows MODE1.
  The vacuum cleaner will enter the spiral cleaning mode. Compared to the other modes, this mode is characterised by a lower speed of the vacuum cleaner and increased motor and central rotary brush power for the purpose of achieving the most effective cleaning process.

RANDOM DIRECTION MOVEMENT MODE

Repeatedly press button E10 (MODE) on the remote control so that display E2 shows MODE2. The vacuum cleaner will enter the random direction movement mode and will continue cleaning in this mode until the battery is almost flat. It will then end the cleaning process and seek out the charging station in order to recharge itself.

ALONG-THE-WALLS CLEANING MODE

• Repeatedly press button E10 (MODE) on the remote control so that display E2 shows MODE3. The vacuum cleaner will enter the along-the-walls cleaning mode, in which it moves along the perimeter of the room and the motorised side rotary brushes A17 and A22 sweep out the dirt along the walls, furniture and in corners to achieve a perfect clean. The vacuum cleaner will continue cleaning until the battery is almost flat. It will then end the cleaning process and seek out the charging station in order to recharge itself.

ZIG-ZAG CLEANING MODE

• Repeatedly press button E10 (MODE) on the remote control so that display E2 shows MODE4. The vacuum cleaner will enter the zig-zag cleaning mode, which is suitable for effectively cleaning large areas without furniture present. The vacuum cleaner will continue cleaning until the battery is almost flat. It will then end the cleaning process and seek out the charging station in order to recharge itself.

MAXIMUM POWER MODE

• Press button E12 (MAX) on the remote control. The vacuum cleaner will enter the cleaning mode, in which it effectively combines various routes to achieve an optimal clean of the entire floor area. This mode is characterised by a lower speed of the vacuum cleaner and increased motor and central rotary brush power for the purpose of achieving the most effective cleaning process.

PAUSING THE CLEANING PROCESS

• Press button A2 or E9 (ON/OFF) on the remote control at any time during the cleaning process to stop the vacuum cleaner in the place where it is cleaning.

USING THE MOP

• The mop is an auxiliary function to the vacuum cleaner and is intended for dry or wet cleaning of smooth hard floor areas. It consists of the water tank D1 and the duster D4. When dry wiping, the water tank remains empty and serves solely as a carrier for the duster.

Attention:
Only use the mop intended for this type of robotic vacuum cleaner. Do not use the water tank without the duster. The mop is not intended for cleaning carpets.

Dry wiping of floors

• Attach the duster D4 to the water tank using the velcro zip strip D5 on the water tank.
• Turn the vacuum cleaner upside down. Slide the water tank into the tabs on the vacuum cleaner and turn the vacuum cleaner back over to its normal operating position.
• Start the vacuum cleaner.

Wet wiping of floors

• Attach the duster D4 to the water tank using the velcro zip strip D5 on the water tank. You may dip the duster in water or your favourite detergent solution in advance. However, never pour the detergent into the water tank.
• Open the cap D3 and fill the tank with clean water. Properly insert the cap back in. Wipe any excess water off the water tank.
• Turn the vacuum cleaner upside down. Slide the assembled and filled water tank into the tabs on the vacuum cleaner and turn the vacuum cleaner back over to its normal operating position.
• Start the vacuum cleaner.
• When you have finished cleaning, disassemble the mop by pressing latch D2 on the side of the water tank and slide out the water tank. Remove the duster and wash it under running water, thoroughly wring it dry and allow it to dry.

SCHEDULED CLEANING FUNCTION

Note:
The scheduled cleaning time setting is based on the system time of the vacuum cleaner. Therefore, before setting the scheduled cleaning time, it is necessary to correctly set the system time as described in chapter SETTING THE SYSTEM TIME OF THE ROBOTIC VACUUM CLEANER.

• This function enables scheduling the vacuum cleaner to automatically start cleaning at a certain time once per day.
• This function behaves as a delayed start, so you are actually setting a delayed cleaning time. Example: If the current time on the vacuum cleaner is 5:00 p.m. then by setting the scheduled cleaning time to 2:30 the vacuum cleaner will automatically start cleaning only at 7:30 p.m. If you leave the main switch of the vacuum cleaner turned on, then the same cleaning process will be repeated at 7:30 p.m. every day thereafter.

Attention:
Never use the delayed cleaning function for wet wiping when the water tank is filled with water. This could result in excessive wetting of the floor in the vicinity of the charging station.

Setting scheduled cleaning:

• In the stand-by mode or in the charging in the charging station mode, hold down button E3 (PLAN) until the time setting value starts flashing on the display E2.
• Using buttons E5 ( △ ) or E8 ( ▽ ) set the time values. Toggle between the values using buttons E6 ( ◁ ) or E7 ( ▷ ).
• Confirm the set time by pressing button E9 (ON/OFF). 1x beep will be made and the set time will be saved to memory as the automatic cleaning time. The vacuum cleaner will clean at this time every day.

Note:
If you turn off the vacuum cleaner using the main switch, the scheduled cleaning time will be deleted. If you wish to use automatic cleaning, then it is necessary to leave the vacuum cleaner in the charging station.

Cancelling scheduled cleaning

• Hold down the button E3 (PLAN). The set automatic cleaning time will start flashing on the display E2.
• Hold down button E9 (ON/OFF) until 00:00 appears on the display. Pressing button E9 again will cancel the set time and the vacuum cleaner will beep 2x.
• Hold down button E3 (PLAN) to return to the display of the system time.

CHARGING THE ROBOTIC VACUUM CLEANER

AUTOMATIC CHARGING

• As soon as the vacuum cleaner detects low voltage of the battery during operation, it will automatically start to seek out the charging station. In order for it to find it and dock, it needs to find the infrared signal transmitted by the charging station. For this reason, we recommend leaving the charging station constantly connected to the power source and located in accordance with the instructions provided in chapter LOCATION OF THE CHARGING STATION.
• After docking in the charging station, the charging cycle will commence. A complete charge takes approximately 4 to 7 hours. The actual charging time depends on the power level of the battery. A fully charged battery will provide up to 90 minutes of operation.
• During the charging process, the indicator light on button A2 will flash red.
• When the battery is fully charged, the indicator light of button A2 will remain permanently lit blue and the process will end automatically.
• In the event that the charging contacts are disconnected during the charging cycle, the vacuum cleaner will move away from the charging station and then re-dock itself to resume the charging process, unless it is prevented from doing so by an obstacle. In the event of a power outage, the charging cycle will be interrupted and will continue after the power supply is renewed. In the event that the maximum charging current is exceeded, the charging station will automatically interrupt the charging cycle.

MANUAL CHARGING

• If the vacuum cleaner is located away from the charging station and detects a low battery voltage then button A2 will start flashing red 2x per second. Press button E4 (HOME) on the remote control. The vacuum cleaner will automatically seek out the charging station and start automatic charging as described in the previous chapter.
• If the battery is so flat that the vacuum cleaner is unable to seek out the charging station then it is necessary to dock the vacuum cleaner into the charging station by hand. Grasp the vacuum cleaner and manually place it into the charging station so that the charging contacts on the underside of the vacuum cleaner and the charging contacts on the charging station are connected. When the contacts are connected, charging will start.
• The vacuum cleaner can also be charged without using the charging station. Insert the power adapter connector into socket A5 on the side of the vacuum cleaner and insert the power adapter plug into a mains socket.

CARING FOR THE BATTERY

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