How your robot works

What your robot cleans

This robot is equipped with features that make it a suitable cleaner to help

you clean the floors in your home.

The robot is especially suitable for cleaning hard floors, such as wooden,

tiled or linoleum floors. It may experience problems cleaning soft floors,

6English

such as carpet or rugs. If you use the robot on a carpet or rug, please stay

close by the first time to see if the robot can deal with this type of floor. The

robot also needs supervision when you use it on very dark or shiny hard

floors.

How your robot cleans FC8778

Cleaning system

The robot has a 2-stage cleaning system to clean your floors efficiently.

-The two side brushes help the robot clean in corners and along walls.

They also help to remove dirt from the floor and move it towards the

suction opening.

-The suction power of the robot picks up loose dirt and transports it

through the suction opening into the dust container.

Cleaning patterns

In its auto cleaning mode, the robot uses an automatic sequence of cleaning

patterns to clean each area of the room optimally. The cleaning patterns it

uses are:

1 Z-pattern or zigzag pattern

2 Random pattern

English

3 Wall-following pattern

4 Spot-cleaning pattern

In its auto cleaning mode, the robot uses these patterns in a fixed

sequence:z-pattern, random pattern, wall-following pattern, and spot-

cleaning pattern.

When the robot has completed this sequence of patterns, it starts moving in

Z-pattern again. The robot continues to use this sequence of patterns to

clean the room until the rechargeable battery runs low, or until it is switched

off manually.

Note: You can also select each mode individually in the app.

How your robot avoids height differences

The robot has three drop-off sensors in its bottom. It uses these drop-off

sensors to detect and avoid height differences such as staircases.

Note: It is normal for the robot to move slightly over the edge of a height

difference, as its front drop-off sensor is located behind the bumper.

Caution: In some cases, the drop-off sensors may not detect a staircase or

other height difference in time. Therefore monitor the robot carefully the

first few times you use it, and when you operate it near a staircase or

another height difference. It is important that you clean the drop-off

sensors regularly to ensure the robot continues to detect height

differences properly (see chapter ' Cleaning and maintenance' for

instructions).

Before first use

Mounting the side brushes

1Unpack the side brushes and place the robot upside down on a table or

on the floor.

the shaft until you hear them lock into position with a click.

The battery may, for instance, run empty if the robot is unable to find its

docking station.
