Disposal of packing material

The packaging is designed to protect the robot vacuum cleaner from damage during transportation. The packaging materials used are selected from materials which are environmentally friendly for disposal and should be recycled.

Recycling the packaging reduces the use of raw materials in the manufacturing process and also reduces the amount of waste in landfill sites. Ensure that any plastic wrappings, bags, etc. are disposed of safely and kept out of the reach of babies and young children. Danger of suffocation.

Disposing of your old appliance

Electrical and electronic equipment often contain valuable materials. They also contain materials which, if handled or disposed of incorrectly, could be potentially hazardous to human health and to the environment. They are, however, essential for the correct functioning of your appliance. Please do not therefore dispose of it with your household waste.

Please dispose of it at your local community waste collection / recycling centre, or contact your dealer for advice.

The lithium-ion rechargeable battery is located in the battery compartment on the bottom of the robot vacuum cleaner. Remove the rechargeable battery from the robot vacuum cleaner and the batteries from the remote control. Dispose of the rechargeable battery and the batteries in a designated collection bin for batteries.

Ensure that the vacuum cleaner presents no danger to children while being stored for disposal.

Functions and features of the robot vacuum cleaner

The robot vacuum cleaner is suitable for the daily cleaning of short pile carpets, fitted carpets and hard flooring.

Please observe the flooring manufacturer's cleaning and care instructions.

The robot vacuum cleaner is fitted with a camera and various sensors. During operation, the room plan as well as the items present in the room are recorded. The robot vacuum cleaner uses this data to create an efficient vacuuming plan of the surfaces to be vacuumed, which it can then vacuum autonomously.

Electrical connection for the UK

All electrical work should be carried out by a suitably qualified and competent person in strict accordance with current national and local safety regulations (BS 7671 in the UK). The voltage and frequency are given on the data plate located underneath the vacuum cleaner. Please ensure that these match the household mains supply. The fuse rating is quoted on the plug. The appliance is supplied with a cable and moulded plug ready for connection to a 230-240 V/50 Hz a.c. single phase supply.

Non-rewireable plugs BS 1363

The fuse cover must be re-fitted when changing the fuse, and if the fuse cover is lost the plug must not be used until a suitable replacement is obtained. The colour of the correct replacement cover is that of the coloured insert in the base of the plug, or the colour that is embossed in words on the base of the plug, (as applicable to the design of plug fitted). Replacement fuses should be ASTA approved to BS1362 and have the correct rating. Replacement fuses and fuse covers may be purchased from your local electrical supplier.
