Recommendations

• It is not recommended to use the Mopping function during the first-time use.

• Do not use the Mopping function if the robot vacuum cleaner is not being supervised.

• To remove the mop holder, press the release button and pull from it outwards.

• Uninstall the mop holder when the robot vacuum cleaner is charging or when not in use.
• Add a few drops of cleaning agent to the water, if necessary, as long as it is non-corrosive.
• Using cleaning agents in excess might block water outlets.
• In order to achieve perfect scrubbing, it is suggested to moisten the mop before using it.

First use

• Once the robot vacuum cleaner and the self-emptying base are installed, follow the steps below before the first cleaning.
• First of all, fully charge the robot vacuum cleaner. It is suggested to allow the robot to charge overnight. Once fully charged, it may carry out the first cleaning cycle and save the first map. To do so, activate the Auto mode and select the Eco suction level. It is very important to follow these instructions so that the robot vacuum cleaner recognises every corner of your house and can carry out a complete mapping of it.
• If your house is very large and the robot vacuum cleaner runs out of battery, it will return to the self-emptying base, save both complete and incomplete maps, and, once recharged, it will resume cleaning where it left off until the entire cleaning surface has been mapped. The robot vacuum cleaner is constantly mapping, so it adapts in an individual and personalised way to the particularities of each home and constantly improves its map.

About the self-emptying base

• The self-emptying base includes a loading and emptying function and a new dirt-disposal bag. After cleaning, the robot will automatically return to the self-emptying base to recharge. The self-emptying base will empty the dirt tank based on the emptying scheduled selected on the app.
• If the robot vacuum cleaner is charging on the self-emptying base, you can force the robot to self-empty. Press the Back Home button for the self-emptying base to empty the dirt tank.

3. OPERATION

Robot vacuum cleaner's buttons

Auto Mode

- Press the Start/Pause button on the robot vacuum cleaner or select it in the app to make it start cleaning automatically in Edge mode and then perform a cleaning cycle in an

orderly zigzag pattern while it also recognises which areas have been cleaned and which have not. The robot vacuum cleaner will automatically plan the cleaning route during cleaning.

• If you control the robot vacuum cleaner manually during this mode, the robot will recalculate the route, so it may pass through already cleaned areas. To ensure efficient cleaning, do not operate the robot vacuum cleaner manually during automatic cleaning.
• Thanks to its Total Surface 2.0 technology, if the battery is low during the cleaning cycle, the robot vacuum cleaner will smartly return to the self-emptying base automatically and once fully charged, it will resume the cleaning process from the same point.
• During cleaning, the robot vacuum cleaner will stop briefly to evaluate the area and calculate the cleaning route (this stop will vary depending on the house conditions).

Back Home mode

• Press the Back Home button on the robot vacuum cleaner or from the app to send the robot vacuum cleaner to the self-emptying base. The robot vacuum cleaner will stop vacuuming until it reaches the base.
• This mode can be activated during any cleaning cycle.
• The robot vacuum cleaner will take the shortest route back to the self-emptying base thanks to its map-memorisation feature and the smart Back Home function.
• Upon completing a cleaning cycle or when the battery is low, thanks to its TotalSurface 2.0 technology, the robot vacuum cleaner will automatically return to the self-emptying base to avoid running out of battery. Once the robot has recharged, it will resume cleaning from the point it has stopped.

Note

The robot vacuum cleaner will not be able to return to the self-emptying base if it can't easily access it. If this happens, manually place it in the self-emptying base.

4. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Main brush

The main brush spins at top speed and helps pushing the dirt into the suction mouth. This brush is in contact with the floor and therefore with the dirt, so it can wear out over time, affecting the cleaning efficiency. For this reason, it is suggested to replace the main brush after a maximum of 320 hours or less.

1. Slightly press the main brush frame's tabs to open the main brush compartment and remove it. Fig. 11
2. Remove hair, lint, and other dirt trapped in the brush and around the shafts with the help of the self-cleaning brush. Fig. 12
3. Clear and clean the robot vacuum cleaner's suction channel.
4. Reinstall the main brush and its frame.

Recommendation

It is recommended to clean the main brush once a week with the help of the self-cleaning brush.

Side brush. Fig. 13

The side brush is designed with many bristles that push dirt into the suction mouth and thoroughly clean edges and corners. This brush may wear out overtime, which will negatively affect cleaning efficiency.

Recommendation

• It is recommended to clean the side brush once a week with the help of the self-cleaning brush.
• Remove the side brush by pulling it outwards and clean it regularly.

Recommendation

To ensure perfect cleaning, it is recommended to change the side brush every 3 months (depending on frequency and type of use).

Mixed tank. Fig. 14

• Remove the mixed tank.
• Open the mixed tank cover and empty it.
• Remove the filter and filter holder as shown in Figure 14.
• Use the self-cleaning brush to clean the inside of the mixed tank.
• You can clean the dirt tank with water, without immersing the tank. Male sure the tank is completely dry before re-installation to prevent water to reach the motor and damage the robot vacuum cleaner.
• Reinstall the mixed tank on the robot vacuum cleaner.

High-efficiency filter. Fig. 15:

• The high-efficiency filter is designed with fibres that help trap dust particles, dust mites, pollen, etc. It is very important to periodically clean the filter, to prevent these particles from building up in the filter, causing efficiency loss. It is convenient to carry out this maintenance once a week.
• Replace the high-efficiency filter every 3 months, depending on the frequency and type of use.

Recommendation

You can remove dirt from the high-efficiency filter with a small brush or gently shake the filter on a hard surface to remove the dust. The high-efficiency filter cannot be washed.

Primary mesh filter and sponge filter

The filtering system is featured with a primary mesh filter and a sponge filter, located next to the high-efficiency filter. It is suggested to replace them either after a maximum of 160 hours of use or when they are worn out due to operation.

Recommendation

Dirt can be removed with a small brush or by shaking carefully against a hard surface for dust to fall off. You can also use warm water without detergents to obtain better results. Always make sure they are completely dry before installing them again; otherwise, moisture can reach the robot vacuum cleaner's motor and damage it.

Cleaning the free-fall sensors

Use a clean, dry, and soft cloth to wipe off any dust from the free-fall sensors located on the robot vacuum cleaner's lower part.

Sensors. Fig 16

• The robot vacuum cleaner has different types of sensors, for example, proximity sensors that allow the robot to move around while detecting obstacles, or free-fall sensors that help the robot detect slopes or possible gaps/unevenness such as staircases. These sensors are always in contact with dust particles, and therefore can deteriorate over time, causing possible navigation errors.
• It is recommended to clean all sensors of the robot vacuum cleaner every 35 hours of use or less, using a soft, dry cloth.

Self-emptying base. Fig 17

Likewise, the self-emptying base includes charging terminals and a signal transmission zone. Use a clean, dry, soft cloth to wipe dust from these areas.

Charging and replacing the battery

To extend battery life, leave the robot vacuum cleaner charging on the self-emptying base whenever not in use.

Remove the battery and store it in a safe, dry place if the robot vacuum cleaner will not be used for a long period of time.

To replace the battery, follow the instructions below:

1. Unscrew the screws on the lower housing, remove the latter, and take out the battery.
2. Insert the new battery.
3. Put the battery and the lower housing back in place and re-tighten the screws.
