Position the device near the charging dock and press C2 button on the device or F4 on the remote control. If the battery is too low, place directly and correctly the vacuum cleaner on the charging station.

Notes

Standard charging time is approx. 4-5 hours. Fully charged battery will work for approx. 100 minutes, depending on set functions.
The stated operating times are based on ETA‘s internal testing and only apply to a new and fully charged battery. Depending on the age and wear of the battery, the operating time decreases.
After cleaning, the vacuum cleaner will automatically search for the charging station.

To do this, remove the device from the docking station (charging contacts will be disconnected) and switch off the device by pressing and holding button C1 for more than 3 seconds. Then you can disconnect the charging station from the mains. Do not return the robot vacuum back to the docking station! In this way, you prevent the battery of the device from being deeply discharged and avoid serious problems with putting the robot vacuum into operation in future and also unnecessary complaints.

CLEANING MODES AND DEVICE FUNCTIONS WITHOUT USING THE ETA SMART

APPLICATION

Note
In the case of heavy soiling, we recommend that you repeat the cleaning to achieve
the best possible result.

Manual operation
You can operate the device manually using F2 direction buttons and clean only the areas where cleaning is necessary. Repeatedly press the F2 button to move the vacuum cleaner.

Automatic cleaning (AUTO)
Press the F5 button on the remote control. The vacuum cleaner moves freely around the room while cleaning. It changes direction when walls or other obstacles are detected. Cleaning continues until the battery capacity is exhausted. Then the vacuum cleaner automatically locates the charging station. This is the most used method of cleaning.

Routine cleaning (CLASSIC)
Press the F8 button on the remote control. The vacuum cleaner moves gradually and systematically through the space as it cleans. Cleaning continues until the battery capacity is exhausted. The vacuum cleaner then automatically searches for a charging station.

Local cleaning (SPOT)
Place the vacuum cleaner where you want to clean (starting point). Press the F3 button on the remote control. When cleaning, the vacuum cleaner moves in the space according to the programmed route (spiral). When cleaning is complete, the vacuum cleaner remains standing at the starting point. This cleaning mode is suitable for cleaning a small soiled area.

Edge mode (EDGE)
This mode is good for cleaning the edges and corners of a room. Press the F6 button on the remote control. In edge cleaning mode, robot runs along a border (e.g. wall). Under this mode, the robot will go back to the charging base once cleaning finished. In order for the cleaning along the walls to proceed properly, remove unwanted objects (e.g. chairs, etc.) from the path of the vacuum cleaner. This will prevent the vacuum cleaner from getting stuck in one place.

Return to the charging station
In Auto Cleaning, Normal Cleaning and Wall Cleaning modes, the vacuum cleaner features an automatic return to the charging station when cleaning is complete. You can also send the device to the charging dock by pressing C2 on the control panel or F4 on the remote control.

CAUTION
After pressing A12 reset button, all parameters set using the ETA SMART application will be lost.

USING THE MOPING ATTACHMENT

Place the mop attachment at the bottom of the vacuum cleaner.
Remove the G2 water tank from the vacuum cleaner.
Release the rubber stopper G4 and fill the water tank with water.
Put the filled tank back into the vacuum cleaner.
Switch on the device and select the required cleaning mode.

Notes

When mopping, we recommend cleaning the individual rooms.
Do not add any cleaning agents to the water, otherwise you will cause the holes in the G5 water filters to plug up and the mop attachment to malfunction.
Check the vacuum cleaner when mopping and top up the water as necessary, or rinse the mop.
Do not use the mop attachment on carpets and prevent the vacuum cleaner from hitting the carpet.
Remove and clean the moping attachment after use. Do not leave it installed on the vacuum cleaner while charging.
