USE WARNINGS
8. For your robot’s cliff sensors to work properly, all runners, rugs, or carpets must be eight inches from any stairs (or must be continuous and extend over the edge of the stairs). If a runner, rug, or carpet edge that is less than eight inches from the stairs cannot be moved, you must use a digital no- go zone to block off the stairs. For non-app users, use a boundary to block off an unsafe boundary.
9. T o minimize the risk of the robot traveling beyond an unsafe boundary
(stair/cliff edges, fireplaces, water hazards), establish these areas as “no-
go zones” using the mapping feature in the SharkClean® mobile app. Upon
setting the boundary, run the vacuum and visually confirm that the settings
effectively prevent the robot from passing beyond the set boundary. Adjust
settings as necessary.
10. T his product has a Class 1 Laser. It is safe under reasonably
foreseeable conditions (as defined in this Owner’s Guide). Always turn off the
power before lifting the robotic vacuum cleaner or performing any maintenance
on it.
