2. Turn the Power Switch to ON. The unit will not charge if the Power Switch is OFF.
   

3. Make sure the docking station is installed correctly with at least 40 inches to one side, 12 inches to the opposing side and no obstructions in front of the docking station. Do not position docking station near stairs or cliff edges.
   

Step 4: Charge Your SmartClean® Connected

_ NOTE: _Charge the battery for 4-5 hours.

3. To activate low power mode (sleep mode), put your robot on the docking station with the Power Switch in the OFF (O) position. Turn the Power Switch from OFF to ON (I) six times consecutively, leaving the robot in the ON position. ‘SP’ will read on the display. The robot will not function manually or from the app while in sleep mode. To turn sleep mode OFF, turn the Power Switch OFF and then back ON.
   

Operations

Clean with Your SmartClean® Connected

Getting Ready to Clean
There are 2 options for cleaning:

• Option 1: Schedule cleanings using the BISSELL® Connect App.
• Option 2: Manual cleaning using the robot’s control panel or the BISSELL Connect App.

NOTE: Before using this device, pick up objects like clothing, loose papers, and power cords. Pull cords for blinds or curtains and ensure any fragile objects are secured.

1. Download and connect to the BISSELL Connect App.
   
   Download the BISSELL Connect App from the Google Play Store or the App Store.
   

2. Set up your Robot
   
   Once the App is loaded, begin the setup process. Follow the prompts on the App Screen. For additional setup help, please refer to the Pairing Guide or visit bissell.com for support videos.

NOTE: The first time your robot connects to the BISSELL Connect App it will automatically update to the newest version of firmware available. After that, you may occasionally be asked to manually update the firmware. However, if a firmware update is deemed vital to the security or maintenance of your robot, the update will automatically take place while your robot is connected to the internet.

TIP: Run time and performance may vary based on the amount of debris present. Use the Invisible Wall to limit the allowed range in messier rooms.

Maintenance

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, turn Power Switch OFF and disconnect the plug from the electrical outlet before performing maintenance or troubleshooting checks.

To keep your SmartClean Connected robot running at peak performance, the following care and maintenance is recommended:

Robot Part|

Care Frequency

Replacement Frequency

---|---|---
Dust Bin| After each use.| As needed.
Dust Bin Filter| Once per week.| Every 2-3 months.
Brush Roll| Once per week.| As needed.
Sensors| Once per month.| Not required.
Edge Cleaning Brushes| Every 2-3 months.| Every 6-12 months.

WARNING: Do not operate robot vacuum with damp or wet Filters, or without Filters or the Dust Bin in place. Allow components to dry before reassembling the Dust Bin.

1. Push and then lift the top cover to open.
   

2. Pull up the Dust Bin handle and take out the Dust Bin from the cleaner.
   

3. Open the top cover of the Dust Bin. Unsnap the Dust Bin Filter.
   

4. Empty the dust and dirt from the Dust Bin.

6. Lift the Cleaning Tool out from the lid of the Dust Bin.
   

7. Periodically clean the Filter with the attached Cleaning Tool. Do not wash the Filter.
   

8. Once clean, reinstall the Filter and close the Dust Bin lid.
   

9. Place Dust Bin back in the cleaner and close top cover.
   

Cleaning the Intake

1. After repeated use, dirt and dust can accumulate around the Intake of the robot and the working efficiency can be reduced.
   To ensure the best efficiency and constant airflow, the intake should be cleaned periodically by removing any debris from the Intake or Brush Roll.
   Before cleaning the Intake ensure the robot is not attached to the Charging Cable or Dock, and the Power Switch is in the OFF position.
   

2. To remove the Brush Roll, lift the Brush Roll Cover off the unit and slide the Brush Roll out.
   

3. Using the Cleaning Tool located in the Dust Bin lid, remove any hair or debris from the Brush Roll.
   

4. Insert the clean Brush Roll by fitting the round end of the Brush Roll into the round end of the Brush Roll compartment. Push the round end inward and fit the opposing square end of the Brush Roll into the square end of the compartment until it is securely in place.
   

5. Re-insert the Brush Roll Cover back onto the unit.
   

Cleaning the Sensors

After repeated use, dirt and dust can accumulate on the Sensors of the robot and the working efficiency can be reduced.
To ensure the best efficiency, the Sensors should be cleaned off periodically by brushing any dirt or debris from them.
Before cleaning the Sensors, ensure the robot is not attached to the Charging Cable or Dock and the Power Switch is in the OFF position.

Cleaning the Side Brushes

NOTE: After being used for a period of time, the Brushes need to be cleaned to work more effectively.

1. Turn OFF the Power Switch, and make sure the unit is unplugged. Place the bottom of the cleaner upward on a flat surface. Hold the Brush bristle and pull upward to remove the Brush.
   

2. The Side Brushes can be rinsed and if they become crooked, you can soak them in hot water to make them return to the original shape. Replace the brushes after they have completely dried.
