• The Robot Cleaner learns new conditions again when the location of the Home Station has been changed.
• If the learning mode is accepted, a voice message will say "Environment has been studied by learning process."

MOP CLEANING (Selected models only (VR*.LVM))

By attaching the ultra microfiber mop, you can effectively use the Robot Cleaner to remove dust on hard floor surfaces.

When the mop plate is attached, the Robot Cleaner will not climb onto carpets or over thresholds, in order to prevent transferring dirt from the mop.

For mop cleaning, mount the mop and mop plate to the Robot Cleaner according to the following instructions:

1. Attach the ultra microfiber mop to the Velcro of the mop plate as shown in the figure.

1. Firmly slide the Mop Plate into the furrows until you hear a 'click' sound.

Note that, if the Mop Plate is not secured correctly, it may separate during cleaning.

1. It is essential that the fixing hooks on the Mop Plate align correctly onto the fixing grooves on the underside of the cleaner.

Tip

• To avoid odors, wash any foreign material or dust off the mop after cleaning is completed. - To avoid staining floors, do not use the ultra microfiber mop to clean when dirt is contaminated with liquids such as coffee or ink. - To avoid damage to carpets from the Velcro or dirt transfer from the mop, do not attempt to clean the carpet while the mop plate or mop is attached. - Keep the ultra microfiber mop dry. Do not use it on wet surfaces. If there is moisture on the floor, it can interfere with the navigation and damage the unit. - Smart Diagnosis feature is not available when the Mop Plate is attached. • Some models may not come with Microfibre Mop or Mop Plate.

The Robot Cleaner remembers its location while cleaning.

If the user moves the Robot Cleaner while it is operating, it will search for the location it was moved from by using its navigational location search function before continuing to clean.

The navigating function will be activated after the Robot Cleaner adequately recognizes the cleaning environment.

Change location

Manual Relocation.

1. With the power off, locate the Robot Cleaner near the location where it was originally moved from.

* The location search is more effective when the Robot Cleaner is closer to the location where it was moved from. * If it is moved from its original cleaning position by more than 1 m, it becomes difficult for the Robot Cleaner to search for its previous location.

Location of incident

1. Press the START/STOP button on the Robot Cleaner or 'Start' button on the remote controller. Robot Cleaner will then start the location search function along with an audio guide.

When the location search is successfully completed, it will continue cleaning from where it was moved. If the location search fails, it will start again from the beginning.

Location of incident

Tip

• If the power is turned off after the location search function is set, the location search function will be canceled.
• Location search will be more effective when the Robot Cleaner is closer to the location where it was moved from.
