Description of the Appliance

Function and Mode of Operation

The RoboCleaner consists of two units: a station and a battery-operated cleaning robot.

Cleaning robot

The mobile cleaning robot is powered by built-in rechargeable batteries. If the battery is charged completely, the cleaning robot can clean up to 60 minutes.

The cleaning robot is connected to the station via infrared. If the battery charge weakens, the robot will seek out its station to get a charge. If it has to search for an extended time, the cleaning robot will shut off the cleaning units to save energy during its search.

The cleaning robot moves randomly, if it bumps into an obstacle, it changes its direction at a random angle. Then, it goes straight ahead until it bumps into the next obstacle.

The flat design of the cleaning robot allows it to also clean the floor underneath pieces of furniture, such as beds, sofas, cupboards, and wardrobes.

The cleaning robot works with optical sensors that detect stairs and steps and prevent the robot from falling down.

The cleaning robot provides 4 operating programmes that allow him to automatically adjust to the various degrees of dirt accumulation on the floor. These are controlled automatically by means of sensors located in the dirt receptacle, depending on the detected degree of dirt accumulation.

Station for cleaning robot

The station serves to charge the batteries of the cleaning robot and to suck off the dirt from the dirt receptacle of the cleaning robot. The dirt is collected in a filter bag (2 l). Once the charging process is completed, the robot autonomously leaves the station and continues the cleaning.

→ Hold the access ramp tilted. Insert the cut-outs of the station into the pins of the access ramp.
→ Press the station and the access ramp downwards until the connection locks into place.

Installation Notes for the Station

When you select the location of the station, please make sure that the cleaning robot is very likely to pass the infrared beam again and again to easily find its way back to the station.

Illustration 3

→ Secure the power cord in the cable hooks. Please make sure that the power cord is guided through the opening in the housing.
Note: Uncoil the power cord only to the required length.
→ Place the station on a level surface.

Caution:

For galleries and steps, the interior corners must be protected, in case the drive-through height under the railing is higher than 10 cm.

→ Connect the mains plug to a suitable socket.

Cleaning a single room

Illustration 4

→ Set up the station in the room to be cleaned, e.g. as shown in the illustration.

Note: The appliance can be adjusted to changing room sizes by means of selecting the cleaning duration (see Chapter "Selecting the Cleaning Duration").

Cleaning a complete floor

Illustration 5

→ Select the site to set up the station so that the cleaning robot is able to reach several rooms.

Note: Adjust the required cleaning duration (see Chapter "Select cleaning duration").

Caution:

For galleries and steps, the interior corners must be protected, in case the drivethrough height under the railing is higher than 10 cm.

Note: The cleaning robot normally passes thresholds between rooms between 2 cm and 8 cm down but not up.

Operation

Preparation for cleaning

Caution:

Prior to using the cleaning robot, please make sure that there are no obstacles, such as on steps or thresholds.

Obstacles can be, for example:

– Newspapers, books, magazines, paper
- Clothes, toys, CDs
- Plastic bags
- Bottles, glasses
– Curtains hanging down on the floor
- Bathroom mats

The following objects are, for example, not considered obstacles:

– Single cables in the room
– Thresholds up to 1 cm high
- Carpet fringes that are shorter than 10 cm

Tips and Tricks

• Observe the cleaning robot during the initial cleaning process. Obstacles in the room that cannot be overcome by the appliance, should be removed ahead of time. This will avoid undesired interruptions.
  ■ Clean up the room just like you would if you were vacuuming prior to using the cleaning robot. Do not leave loose objects on the floor.
  ■ Tie up cables, strings, and curtains to prevent the robot from pulling them down.
  If you store the appliance for more than 4 months, please make sure that the batteries are charged completely.
  If you let the cleaning robot work while you are on the phone or watching TV, activate the "Quiet mode" on the station.

■ When cleaning a room, make sure all doors are closed.
■ When cleaning a whole level, make sure that the cleaning robot will not be able to travel behind doors.
If you want to move the cleaning robot to another place, it is recommended to turn off the robot when it is placed in the station for charging (after the evacuation of the dirt receptacle).

In order to become more familiar with the RoboCleaner, we recommend reading the Chapter "Frequently asked questions and answers" at the end of these instructions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which floor coverings is the robot suitable for?

The robot can be used on all common surfaces, such as carpets and hard surfaces (tiles, parquetry, etc.). With respect to extremely deep-piled carpets (> 20 mm), specific restrictions apply. The moving sweeping edge is automatically adjusted to different floor coverings.

Is it difficult to clean underneath pieces of furniture?

No. Due to its compact and flat design the robot is able to clean underneath pieces of furniture, such as beds, sofas, and wardrobes.

How does the robot transport the absorbed dirt to the station?

The robot is equipped with a dirt receptacle that is regularly emptied by the station.

How is the dirt absorbed in the station?

In the station, the dirt is collected in a conventional filter bag (2 litres).

The exchange intervals are flexible and are reported to the user in a timely manner by means of a indicator lamp on the display.

How much dirt can the robot absorb?

In case of a normal degree of soiling, the dirt receptacle is sufficient for one hour of cleaning. If this should not be sufficient in the individual case, the robot simply returns to the station earlier, disposes of the dirt and carries on working.

How is the absorption of dirt in the robot performed?

The dirt is swept into the dirt receptacle of the robot by means of vacuum-supported sweeping.

Can the robot clean in the apartment / house without supervision?

Yes, this is possible without any problems. The robot is an autonomous system and does not require any intervention. The dirt receptacle is emptied at the station.

How long does it take until the robot is charged or operative?

The charging time is between 15 and 60 minutes according to the charging state of the battery before the charging. In case of the initial operation, the robot certainly has the longest charging time.

At which speed does the robot move?

By default, the robot runs at 20 cm per second. If it cleans very dirty spots, the speed is reduced by half to intensify the cleaning. The same applies to the final approach to the station to allow the robot to precisely manoeuvre in.

How many square meters can the robot clean within one hour?

The robot can clean up to 15 qm per hour. Many spots, in particular the frequently used paths are cleaned repeatedly from different directions.

How does the robot know when it must return to the station?

The robot returns to the station as soon as the battery voltage has reached a specific level or if the dirt receptacle is full.

How long does it take to empty the robot at the station?

The process takes approximately 30 seconds.

Where is the robot programmed? What do I have to pay attention to?

The robot can only be turned on or off. You can select the cleaning duration at the station. In addition, you can specify that the robot should not leave the station after the next approach to the station (parking function).

According to which principle does the robot move?

The robot moves through the room according to the random principle. If he bumps into an obstacle, it turns at any angle and then goes straight until it bumps into the next obstacle.

Which tools are present that help the robot to cope with obstacles?

The robot is equipped with sensors that detect stairs and prevent the robot from falling down.

Using a special carpet fringe program the robot does not get stuck in carpet fringes.

Thanks to the different angles, it also finds it way out of narrow corners.

What is the most efficient way to operate the robot (individual rooms, entire apartment)?

It is most efficient to let the robot clean individual rooms, i.e. station and robot are located within the same room. This reduces the searching time during the return to the station, the share of the effective cleaning time is, therefore, the highest possible.

If you want to clean entire floors, the station should be placed at a central spot of the apartment to enable the robot to easily return to the station.

Are corners cleaned without any problems (the robot is round)?

No, but due to the continuous cleaning, the formation of dirt is substantially reduced.

Thus, an accumulation of dirt in corners is effectively avoided.

What happens at stairs/steps?

Stairs: The robot works with optical sensors that detect half-landings and signal the robot that it must change its direction.

Steps: The robot is able to deal with hard steps up to 10 mm and soft steps up to 20 mm in both directions.

Caution:

Do not leave loose objects (e.g.: newspapers, clothing) on stairs or steps, as this will inhibit the function of the sensors. – Risk of falling!

Can the furniture etc. be damaged?

No. Damages of the items of furniture can be excluded.

Please note, however, the lightweight and fragile objects may be touched and moved by the robot. Objects that are equipped with a cable, may be pulled down from furniture (e.g. telephone). It is important to prepare the room in such a manner that it is suitable for robots.

How do pets react to the robot?

As the robot is not noisy and does not work with ultrasound, problems with pets are not to be expected. The self-movement behaviour only arises the mistrust of the pets.

What is important with respect to children?

The robot should not be left unattended if children are playing in the same room. Mechanical damages are likely if children sit on the robot while it is in operation.

Why does the robot stop in some situations?

The robot is only able to get out of tricky situations to a certain degree. Piled cables can induce him to hopeless manoeuvres. In this case the robot turns off automatically after a specific period of time. The red signal on the robot lights up quickly.

The best solution is to place the robot on a free area and turn it off and on again. Then, it continues its cleaning run without problems.

How do I transport my robot properly?

You can lift the robot from the floor using both hands, or you carry it by putting one hand into the relief of the brush.

What happens if the robot has swept up wet dirt?

As a result, the filter becomes blocked. You have to remove the filter from the robot and clean it (see Chapter "Cleaning flat filter").

What happens if the robot gets stuck while I am not at home?

Nothing can happen. The robot stops at this point and displays the signal for being stuck. If no more light is blinking, the batteries are depleted and must be recharged.
