Notes for Use

The appliance is operated via charged battery. Charge the battery using the power adapter provided. Direct power supply via power adapter is not possible.
The appliance sucks up loose dirt through the nozzle.
For more efficient cleaning, the appliance is equipped with a rubber lip.
Do not use the appliance to vacuum building rubble.
Dirty filters reduce the suction power of the appliance, hence we recommend cleaning the dust container and filters after each use.
When the appliance hits a wall or other obstacles during operation, it will change its driving direction.
The appliance also cleans underneath furniture if they have a ground clearance of at least 80 mm. If the appliance gets stuck under a piece of furniture, a beep will sound and the robot vacuum cleaner switches itself off.
If the appliance is lifted during operation, it will emit a beep and the power indicator light flashes red. The appliance will then switch off.
Due to its design, the cleaning of carpets and the driving over edges is only possible to a limited extent. Short-pile carpets with low edges can be surmounted. For long-pile carpets, please use a conventional 230 V floor vacuum cleaner.
The sensors at the bottom of the appliance detect steps and other dips, so that it can not drop down.

CAUTION:
Prior to each use, ensure the sensors are clean, or else the appliance may crash.

Depending on the condition of the step (colour scheme, design, etc.), it may happen that the sensors can still not detect the landing. Especially near a stairway, please do not leave the appliance unattended.

Before Using the Appliance

Clear the floor of any objects lying around that could
obstruct the side brushes, get caught in the nozzle or stop the appliance from cleaning.
Remove any objects that could be knocked over (such as vases, small lamps, decorative items, etc.).
Make sure that no cables, cords or fringes, e.g. of curtains, table cloths or carpets can be accessed. If necessary, fold the edges with its fringes under the carpet.
The appliance may otherwise get entangled in it.

Putting into Service

Inserting Batteries into the Remote Control
(Batteries are not included in the scope of delivery)

Open the battery compartment cover on the back of the remote control.
Insert 2 batteries of type R03 “AAA” 1.5 V, observing the correct polarity (see markings on the bottom of the compartment)!
Close the battery compartment cover.

WARNING:
Do not expose batteries to excessive heat such as sunlight, fire or similar. There is a risk of explosion!

CAUTION:

Batteries may leak and lose battery acid. Remove the batteries if the remote control is not being used for an extended period of time.
Different battery types or new and used batteries must not be used together.
Do not dispose of batteries along with domestic waste.

Do not attempt to lubricate the rollers with lubricants or oil.
Ignoring this would cause significantly more dust or dirt to adhere to the rollers.

Clean the housing with a soft, dry cloth without additives.
Use a soft cloth to gently clean the sensors (12/15/20).

CAUTION:

Prior to and after each use, check that the sensors are clean. Otherwise, the appliance may tumble down a staircase.

Fold the cover of the dust container upwards. Then remove the mesh filter from the dust container.
Empty the dust container while holding it over a garbage can.
You can clean the dust container under running water.
To clean the mesh filter, use a soft paintbrush.
