6.1. Attaching the cleaning brushes Before using the appliance for the first time, it is necessary to attach the supplied brushes. The brushes can be installed and removed using a Philips screwdriver. Press both of the brushes marked with L and R onto the brackets until they click into place. Make sure during this process that they match the L and R markings on the appliance. 6.2. Charging the battery block The robot vacuum cleaner is fitted with a lithium-ion battery block. After unpacking the appliance, firstly charge the battery block for approx. 3.5 hours. This benefits battery performance in the long run. You can use the supplied mains adapter GSCV0600S019V12E to directly recharge your robot vacuum cleaner or recharge it via the charging station; simply follow the procedure described below: Switch the On/Off switch on the robot vacuum cleaner to the ON position because otherwise the battery block will not be charged.

Charging via the charging station Attach the mains adapter to the mains connection on the charging station. Place the robot vacuum cleaner on the charging station so that the charging contacts are located on top of each other. Insert the mains plug into the mains socket. The appliance starts to charge, all LEDs for the indicator light flash. As soon as the battery block has been fully charged, the diodes will be permanently lit. The battery block should be charged as soon as the centre LED for the indicator light is flashing. Either charge the battery block before the next cleaning process by connecting the mains adapter to the appliance or, if the charging station is connected, the robot vacuum cleaner will automatically return to the charging station when the battery charge is too low. The cleaning process will be interrupted when the appliance returns to the charging station. NOTICE! If the performance of the rechargeable batteries drops significantly, please contact the Medion Service Centre.147 of 158

7. Vacuum cleaner operation

To achieve the best cleaning performance, ensure that all loose objects (curtains, clothing, paper, loose cables and extension cables) are removed from the floor. ATTENTION! Risk of property damage. Loose cabling can get caught around your robot vacuum cleaner during vacuuming and be pulled by the appliance. This can lead to appliances being pulled from a table and damaged. Lay cables out of the reach of the appliance.148 of 158 NOTICE! Before vacuuming on a carpet, please remove the brushes. This robot vacuum cleaner is not suitable for use on deep pile carpets. Every time a button is pressed you will hear a beep to confirm. Before switching on, disconnect the mains adapter plug from the appliance.

The LEDs for the indicator light will now be permanently lit. Press the CLEAN button again to interrupt the cleaning process. Press the CLEAN button once more if you want to resume the cleaning process. NOTICE! However, if you do not press a button within 15 seconds, the robot vacuum cleaner will return to sleep mode. You can switch the robot vacuum cleaner directly into sleep mode while in operation by pressing and holding down the CLEAN button for approx. three seconds. The indicator light is switched off in sleep mode. NOTICE! The robot vacuum cleaner will automatically return to the charging station when the battery level is low. The cleaning process will be interrupted when the appliance returns to the charging station. Regularly clean the suction opening when the appliance is switched off (On/Off switch in the OFF position) and empty the dust container after every use. 7.1. Setting the start time In order to start a cleaning process in your absence, set a start time for the cleaning process.

7.2. Selecting the modes The robot vacuum cleaner is automatically guided through the room using the sensors, the bumpers on the appliance and the special light barrier. You can select how the robot vacuum cleaner should operate: Cleaning mode Button to press Type of cleaning Automatic CLEAN Standard cleaning dependent on obstacles Spot cleaning

For the targeted cleaning of an area around the starting location of the robot vacuum cleaner Cleaning along a wall For cleaning along walls/obstacles. If no obstacles are available for ori- entation, the robot vacuum cleaner will stop the cleaning process. Return to the charging station The robot vacuum cleaner returns to the charging station and charg- es the battery block. 7.3. Using the light barrier (virtual wall) In order to limit the operating range of the robot vacuum cleaner e.g. to exclude certain areas from the cleaning process or to protect the appliance from falling down stairs, you can set up the light barrier. Position the light barrier in front of obstacles or the forbidden cleaning zone. Set the On/Off switch on the light barrier to the ON position. During operation, the robot vacuum cleaner will immediately turn around after passing the light barrier.
