Attenzione!
Thank you for choosing to purchase the Robot the new intelligent robot floor cleaner that works independently to clean your floors.
The Robot is able to vacuum the dirt from floors with its suction motor and rotating side brushes that mean it can get into the corners as well as around and under furniture and along skirting.
The Robot is able to completely cover the area you need to clean, with circular, perimeter and linear movements and it can be used on any type of flooring: parquet, tiles, vinyl, linoleum, rugs and carpets.
Thanks to its special sensors, the Robot
- avoids or passes over obstacles
- will not collide with furniture
- will not fall down stairs
- recognises the amount of dirt on the floor and automatically adjusts suction accordingly
Dirt is collected inside a container which is easily removable for emptying and fitted with a Hepa filter to trap fine dust, pollen, animal hairs and micro particles.
Silent and eco-friendly, the Robot is also able to recharge itself, using its auto charge station and it can also be programmed to clean at set times during the day.
Complete with touchscreen display for easy setting from the product itself.
In no time at all, the Robot will become an essential part of the family – one that leaves you free to do other things.

Important!
Never use this charging methods when the Robot has been set to switch on later for cleaning (see the “Programming” chapter), as this could cause damage to the power cord and to the appliance at the start of the cleaning cycle.
b) Via charging station (I)
After installing the "Home Base" correctly, place the Robot on this charging station, making sure that the charge poles (S) meet with the charge contacts (G) in the base.
The "Home Base" charge contacts are low voltage and do not constitute any type of hazard.
natural_image

c) Auto-charge:
the Robot will automatically return to the "Home Base" when the battery charge is low.
To do this, it is necessary for the IR signal to reach it from the "Home Base" which means that the base must be in the same room as the one being cleaned.
If the Robot is unable to return to the charging station at its first attempt, it will continue to try to do so until it is correctly positioned.
text_image
Home Base
Important!
The Robot cannot return to the charging station if the station is not connected to the mains power; in this case, the suction function will be reduced until it runs out and the Robot will switch off.
Important!
If the Robot is in a different room to the charging station, it will not be able to pick up the recall signal.
Important!
Make sure that the power cord does not get in the way of the Robot, as there is a risk of blocking the rotary brushes.
NOTES ABOUT CHARGING AND AUTONOMY
Important!
Before using for the first time, you need to charge the appliance for at least 12 hours. Anything less than this could affect the life of the batteries.
Subsequent charges need a maximum time of 3.5 hours to guarantee a full 1.5 hour cleaning cycle.
| First charge time 12 h | |
| Subsequent charge times 3,5 h | |
| Autonomous operating time 90 min (including return to charging station) |
| Robot status Display status (1) | |
| While charging The display will read “1111”, repeating from right to left. |
| Low battery The display will read “Lo” | |
| Charge complete The display will read “FULL” | |
If used correctly, the battery has a useful lifetime of hundreds of cleaning cycles.
To extend battery life as much as possible, keeping operating autonomy at the same level, you should follow some important rules:
- use the Robot frequently;
- recharge the battery completely before every cleaning cycle;
- always keep the Robot connected to the power supply;
- if you do not intend to use the Robot for a certain length of time, charge the batteries completely, switch off the appliance at the switch (Q), remove the batteries and store them in a cool, dry place;
- after a long period of disuse, charge the batteries fully before use.
Important!
Do not leave the batteries flat for a long period of time, since they could become damaged.
Important!
Do not charge batteries at temperatures below 4°C or above 40°C.
If the battery should become flat, replace it with a new one, removing the battery cover (R) and taking out the screws.
Ni-MH 14V 2000 mAH batteries are available from Authorised Assistance Centres.
OPERATION IN START MODE
Once the charge cycle has been completed, the appliance display will read "FULL" and it will be possible to start the Robot and the cleaning cycle. To start the Robot, first check its status
| Lights Robot status | |
| “Pause” “CLEAN” button on and 2-3-5-6 icons flashing | In pause mode, waiting for commands. | |
| “Stand-by” “CLEAN” button and 2-3-5-6 icons off | ON (switch (Q) set to ON) but it needs to be activated before it can accept commands. | |
a) If the Robot is in “pause” (it does not move and the icons 2-3-5-6 are flashing), this means that it is waiting for commands:
- to start the cleaning cycle, press the "CLEAN" button once or if necessary, press one of the buttons on the control panel (B) on the appliance body:
- to set the Robot from "pause" to "stand-by" hold down the "CLEAN" button for 3 seconds or wait 20 seconds until the flashing icons switch off.
b) If the Robot is on “stand-by” (it does not move and the icons and “CLEAN” button are off), this means it is on but that it needs to be activated before it can receive commands. To start the cleaning cycle, press the “CLEAN” button twice:
- once to activate it and set it in "pause" mode: the icons 2-3-5-6 will start to flash;
- a second time to activate cleaning setting it to "cleaning": the "CLEAN" button will switch on.
CLEANING
Once the cleaning cycle has been activated, to stop it, press the "CLEAN" button once< the icons will begin to flash again.
- press it once to set the appliance to "pause", waiting 20 seconds for it to enter "stand-by" mode automatically;
- hold down for 3 seconds to set the Robot directly in "stand-by" mode.
The different cleaning modes can be set from the touch screen:
1) AUTOMATIC cleaning:
Pressing the "CLEAN" button will start the Robot cleaning the room automatically and changing its route according to the obstructions on the floor, applying alternately:
- spiral movements
- linear perimeter movements
- linear diagonal movements
- automatic "SPOT cleaning": faster spiral movements with greater suction when the dust detection sensors find a particularly dirty area. This function is interrupted automatically when the area has been cleaned or it can be stopped by pressing the "CLEAN" button.

Base
Important!
For the best cleaning results and to make sure that the Robot can cover the entire surface of the room without leaving any area uncovered and in the shortest possible amount of time, it is necessary to remove as many obstructions from the floor as possible.
Important!
To prevent the Robot from getting stuck, remove or lift any wires and power cords that could become wrapped around the rotary brushes and cause items to fall from furniture or break or damage the Robot.
2) SPOT cleaning:
To focus cleaning on a smaller area, it is possible to use the "SPOT" button on the Robot to use the Spot cleaning function (for the operation mode, see the instructions above).
3) Return to the charging station:
Using the "HOME" button on the Robot, it is possible to make it return to the base when necessary.
- the Robot must be able to intercept the IR signal from the charging station which must therefore be in the same room as is being cleaned;
- if the Robot is not able to return to the base at the first attempt, it will continue to try until it is correctly positioned.
Important!
If the Robot is unable to return to the charging station at its first attempt, it will continue to try to do so until it is correctly positioned.
Important!
The Robot cannot return to the charging station if the station is not connected to the mains power; in this case, the suction function will be reduced until it runs out and the Robot will switch off.
Important!
During the return to the charging station, the suction function is suspended and therefore, the noise level will be lower.
DURING THE CLEANING CYCLE
The coverage time for a room may vary according to floor type and to the number of obstructions the Robot encounters as well as the possible differences in height on the floor.
Thanks to its front anti-collision sensors, the Robot is able to intercept surfaces (walls, furniture...) avoiding collisions with them. However, if the obstruction consists of corners or tubular parts of furnishings, then a gentle impact may be possible. Special anti-fall sensors on its base mean that the Robot is able to recognise differences in height and therefore, to avoid falling from tops or stairs.
The Robot is also able to overcome differences in level such as thresholds or rugs and to move away from obstacles (pipes, floor lamps, etc.) of no higher than 1 cm.
Important!
When cleaning carpets or rugs, do not allow the Robot to come into contact with fringes and do not clean shag pile carpets, as the fibres and fringes may become caught up around the rotary brushes.
USING THE ROBOT WHERE THERE IS A GOOD DEAL OF EXPOSURE TO SUNLIGHT
When using the robot in rooms with a great deal of exposure to sunlight, we recommend closing blinds or curtains to reduce this and to remove the problems that could incorrectly change the direction and route of the appliance.
SETTING THE DATE AND TIME
- Hold down the "PLAN" button for 3 seconds to enter the clock setting mode.
- Press the "SPOT" and "HOME" buttons together to set the hours: then press "PLAN" to confirm and pass on to the minutes.
- Press the "SPOT" and "HOME" buttons together to set the minutes, then press "CLEAN" to confirm and pass onto setting the day.
- Press the "SPOT" and "HOME" buttons together to set the day, from the number "1" which represents Monday, through to "7", which is Sunday.
- Press "CLEAN" to exit and quit.
- To delete the time, set it to 00:00 and save.
SETTING THE CLEANING PROGRAMME
- Press the "CLEAN" button to set the Robot to "pause".
- Press the "PLAN" button to enter the programming mode.
- Press the "SPOT" and "HOME" buttons together to set the day, from the number "1" which represents Monday, through to "7", which is Sunday.
- Press "CLEAN" to confirm and quit or "PLAN" to set the time for daily cleaning.
- Press the "SPOT" and "HOME" buttons together to set the hours: then press "PLAN" to confirm and pass on to the minutes or press "CLEAN" to confirm and return to the days setting.
- Press the "SPOT" and "HOME" buttons together to set the minutes, then press "CLEAN" to confirm and quit, returning to days, or press "PLAN" to confirm and return to the hours.
Important!
A sound signal will be emitted to show that the time has been saved. If no sound is heard, re-enter the settings and save again.
At the selected time, the Robot will move from its charging station to start the cleaning cycle and then return to the station when the cleaning is complete or if the batteries are almost flat. Once it has begun to return to the station, the Robot may take up to 30 minutes to intercept the signal and reposition itself on the "Home Base".
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
For the correct maintenance of the Robot, follow the rules below:
CLEAN THE SIDE BRUSHES ON REGULAR BASIS AND REPLACE THEM IF DAMAGED.
- Remove the screw in the centre of each brush support.
- Remove the brushes and replace them, making sure that the marks "L" (left) and "R" (right) meet with the same marks on the appliance base.
