Use only the original charging station and adaptor designed for the robot.

Never use the robot

In wet areas.
Close to flammable gases, etc.
When the product shows visible signs of damage.
On sharp objects or fluids.
On hot or cold ashes, lighted cigarette butts, etc.
On fine dust, for instance from plaster, concrete, flour, hot or cold ashes.

The appliance must not be plugged in when removing the battery.
The battery is to be disposed of safely.
Never use the robot without a filter.
Do not touch the brush roll while the cleaner is switched on and the brush roll is turning. Do not touch the wheels while the robot is operating.
Using the robot in a manner that conflicts with the above recommendations may cause serious personal injury or damage to the product. Such injury or damage is not covered by the warranty or by AEG.
The warranty does not cover the reduction in battery runtime due to battery age or use, as the life of the battery depends upon the length and number of times the robot is used.
Before cleaning, remove small and fragile objects such as clothing, curtain strings, papers, and power cords from the floor. If the device passes over a power cord and pulls it, there is a risk that an object could be pulled off a table or shelf.
The robot is designed to not move any larger objects in its way. Objects such as chairs can therefore be left on the floor as the robot will clean around them.
Strong light, mirrored walls, floor-to-ceiling windows, and very shining objects could disturb the 3D Vision system.

How to use the robot vacuum cleaner

Installation of the robot vacuum cleaner

Place the Charging base on the floor against the wall. Plug the adaptor into the power jack on the side of the base. Connect the Power cord plug to the main socket. Wind up the excessive cord on the back of the base. Make sure there is an empty area of 0.5 m on the sides and 1.5 m in front of the Charging base. WiFi model: Place the base in a range of the WiFi router.
Place the side brush.
Note: If the robot is used to clean rooms with wall-to-wall carpet, remove the side brush for best cleaning results.
Place the robot on the Charging base. The Battery icon will pulse, to indicate that the robot is recharging.

Battery/Charging status

Red battery (A) indicates that the robot needs to be charged. Red light pulse (B): The robot is charging – Low charging level. White light pulse (C): The robot has charged enough to be used. (Press the Play/Pause button to clean.) White light (D): The robot is ready for use. Full charging time is ~ 3 hours.
To preserve the battery life and performance:
- Always keep the robot charging when not in use.
- Charge it as soon as possible in the charging base after the deaning cycle.
- Waiting too long might affect the batteries.
Storage (not plugged): In case the robot is stored without being charged for a longer period, remove the batteries and store them separately. (Charge batteries before removing them). To remove the batteries see instruction page 15.

How to connect to the “RY9” APP
We recommend downloading the App and updating the software before the first use.

Download the “RX9” App in the App Store or Google Play and then follow the instructions to create the account and connect to the robot.
Note: Make sure that the phone is connected to the home WiFi (2.4 GHz).
During the process, the App will ask you to turn the robot upside down to activate the WiFi module and scan the serial number bar code (A) or enter it manually (B). Then continue following the instructions from the App.
Note: before turning the robot, make sure that it has been switched on for at least one minute.
When the setup is completed, turn the robot back to its normal position. The Wifi symbol (A) will be lit up to indicate that the robot is connected to your home network.
Note: it could take a few moments for the robot clock to automatically synchronize with your mobile device.
Note: The pulsing Wifi symbol indicates that the robot is trying to connect to the network.

Cleaning schedule
Cleaning can be scheduled in the APP (Days & times)

Cleaning modes

Press the Play/Pause button (A) to start cleaning. After a few seconds of start-up, cleaning will be commenced. The robot will start cleaning alongside walls, working its way inwards.
Note: Press “Play/Pause” (A) briefly to pause cleaning, or Press and hold to terminate deaning.
Large rooms will be divided into cells of at most 2 x 2 m.
Note: The deaning pattern is more efficient if the robot is started next to a wall.

How to use the robot vacuum cleaner

Auto Docking/Charging

When cleaning is completed, the robot automatically returns to the charging base.
Note: If the robot is not started from the charging base, it will return to the start position when finished.

Auto charging during the cleaning cycle
Should recharging be needed during cleaning, the home button will light up and the robot will return to the charging base. The home button (A) is lit. The battery and Play/ Pause button (B) flashes to indicate that the robot is charging and that it will resume where it stopped. The robot will recharge up to 80% to resume cleaning quicker. Charging time is ~ 2 hours.

Crossing threshold

Before crossing a threshold or climbing over any obstacle, the robot will stop and check:

the heights (A & B) on both sides of the threshold/obstacle
that the area on the other side is clear to operate (C)

ECO Mode
ECO mode: For lighter cleaning, press the ECO button to reduce the power, prolong the running time, and reduce the noise level. The robot will stay in ECO mode until the button is pressed again.

Docking
Stop cleaning and send the robot to the charging base: Press the Home button. If the robot is not started from the charging base, it will return to the starting position.

SPOT Cleaning
SPOT cleaning (small area, ~ 1 m’): Place the robot facing the spot and press the SPOT button. The robot will dean the area twice.

Preparing the cleaning area

(A) Leave a space of 40 cm around furniture without legs.
(B) The robot easily crosses thresholds with a height of up to 22 mm.
(C) It cleans under furniture with more than 95 mm of space.
(D) Place the charging base on the left side of the door.
(E) The robot detects stairs and cliffs.

Carpets: The robot cleans

short-pile carpets: (A) in the same pattern as the room
medium-pile carpets : (B) First around it (C) and come back later to clean the carpet separately
high-pile carpets: (D) are not cleaned. When the robot reaches the edge it continues with the rest of the cleaning.

Preparing the cleaning area
Before deaning, remove smaller and fragile objects such as clothing, curtain strings, papers, and power cords from the floor. If the device passes over a power cord and drags it, there is a risk that an object could be pulled off a table or shelf. Larger/taller objects such as chairs can be left as the robot will clean around them. Strong light, Mirrored walls, floor-to-ceiling windows, and very shining objects could disturb the 3D Vision system.

Limiting the cleaning area
The robot will clean all floors it can access. To limit the cleaning area, simply close doors or put an obstacle in the way.

Dust emptying between scheduled cleanings
To get the most out of scheduled cleaning, empty the dust container regularly.

Tips on how to get the best results
Always carry the robot with two hands keeping the front up. Manual moving of the robot: Moving the robot during the cleaning process is not advised, as it might restart the cleaning from the beginning. Cleaning of a house with more than one can be facilitated by using an extra charging base on each door. (ANC: 406000071)

Emptying the Dust container, Replacing/Cleaning the Filter
