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 oors in your home.
The robot is especially suitable for cleaning hard oors, such as wooden,
tiled or linoleum oors. It may experience problems cleaning soft oors,
such as carpet or rugs. If you use the robot on a carpet or rug, please stay
close by the rst time to see if the robot can deal with this type of oor.
The robot also needs supervision when you use it on black and shiny hard
oors.
How your robot cleans
Cleaning system
The robot has a 3-stage cleaning system to clean your oors efciently.
- The two side brushes help the robot clean in corners and along walls.
They also help to work dirt loose from the oor.
ENGLISH 7
- The suction power of the robot picks up loose dirt and transports it
through the suction opening into the dust container.
- The robot comes with a dry wipe holder that allows you to clean your
hard oor even more thoroughly with dry wipes.
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
3 Wall-following pattern
4 Spiral pattern
During auto cleaning, the robot uses these patterns in a xed sequence:
1 Z-pattern
2 Random pattern
3 Wall-following pattern
4 Spiral 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 is empty,
or until it is switched off manually.
- If the robot detects a particularly dirty area during its cleaning run,
it switches to spiral mode and to turbo fan speed to ensure thorough
dirt removal.
Note:You can also select each mode individually by pressing the appropriate
button on the remote control or pointer (FC8820 only). For more details,
see chapter ‘Using your robot’, section ‘Cleaning modes’.
ENGLISH8
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 rst few times you use it, and when you operate it near a staircase
or another height difference.
Before rst use
Mounting the side brushes
1 Unpack the side brushes and place the robot upside down on a table
or on the oor.
2 Push the side brushes onto the shafts on the bottom of the robot.
Note: Make sure you attach the side brushes properly. Press them onto the
shaft until you hear them lock into position with a click.
Inserting the rechargeable battery into the robot

Removing the protection tag from the remote control
The remote control works on a CR2025 coin-shaped battery.This battery
is protected with a protection tag that has to be removed before use.

the remote control.
,Now the remote control is ready for use.
Preparing for use

station (1) and insert the adapter into the wall socket (2).
