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,
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.
Because the robot uses infrared sensors to navigate, it may run into
difficulties on very dark and shiny floors. If you use the robot on such
surfaces, please stay close by the first time to see if the robot can deal with
such a dark and shiny floor.
How your robot cleans
Cleaning system
The robot has a 3-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.
-The robot comes with a dry wipe holder that allows you to clean your
hard floor even more thoroughly with dry wipes.
Cleaning patterns
In its auto cleaning mode, the robot uses a fixed and automatic sequence of
cleaning patterns to clean each area of the room optimally. It uses a Z-
pattern (zigzag pattern), random pattern, wall-following pattern and spiral
pattern successively. It continues to move in this sequence of patterns to
clean the room until the rechargeable battery runs low, or until it is switched
off manually.
7
English
If the robot detects a particularly dirty area during its cleaning run, it
switches to spiral mode and switches to turbo fan speed to ensure thorough
dirt removal.
Note: You can also select each mode individually in the app (see 'Cleaning
mode selection').
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 'Cleaning the robot').
Mounting the side brushes
1Unpack the side brushes and place the robot upside down on a table or
on the floor.
2Push 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.

100cm 30cm
80cm
Note: Make sure that there are no obstacles or height differences 80 cm
in front, 30 cm to the right and 100 cm to the left of the docking station.
Tip: To ensure the docking station stays firmly in the selected spot, fasten
it to the wall with screws or with two strips of double-sided tape.
Important note: deep sleep mode
In deep sleep mode, the robot does not respond at all when you press a
button. To reactivate the robot when it is in deep sleep mode:
1Press the start/stop button on the robot for one second to switch the
robot from deep sleep mode to standby mode.
2Press the start/stop button on the robot briefly or press the start button
in the app to start cleaning.
3If the robot does not start cleaning, place it on the plugged-in docking
station to recharge its rechargeable battery.
3 sec.
The robot enters deep sleep mode when you press the start/stop button for
3 seconds. It may also enter the deep sleep mode when its battery is empty.
The battery may, for instance, run empty if the robot is unable to find its
docking station.
Note: You cannot get the robot out of its deep sleep mode with the
start/stop button in the app, press the start/button on the robot.

Charging
Charging
When charging for the first time and when the rechargeable battery of the
robot is empty, the charging time is four hours. Your robot can only be
charged on the docking station.
Charging on the docking station

2The start/stop button starts flashing. The charging indicator will be visible
on the display during the first 3 minutes of charging.
3When the rechargeable battery is fully charged, the start/stop button
lights up continuously.
Charging automatically during use
1When the robot has finished cleaning or when only 15% of the battery
power remains, it automatically searches for the docking station to
recharge. When the robot searches for the docking station, the light in the
start/stop button turns orange.
2When the rechargeable battery is fully charged, the start/stop button
lights up continuously.
Note: The robot only searches for the docking station automatically when it
started cleaning from the docking station.
