Safety instructions for charging station

⚠️ DANGER • Only connect the device to an AC power source. The voltage indicated on the type plate must match the mains voltage of the power source.

- For safety reasons we recommend operating the device only via a fault current protection switch (maximum

30 mA). ● Never touch the mains plug and socket with wet hands.

⚠ WARNING • Only connect the device to an electrical connection which has been set up by a qualified electrician as per IEC 60364-1. • Check that the mains voltage corresponds with the voltage stated on the type plate of the charger. • The appliance contains electrical components - do not clean the appliance under running water. • Short circuit hazard. Keep conductive objects (e.g. screwdrivers or similar tools) away from the charging contacts. • Short circuit hazard. Only clean the charging contacts of the charging station dry. • Only charge the appliance using the original charger enclosed or with a charger approved by KÄRCHER. • Danger of explosion. Do not charge non-rechargeable batteries. • Check the mains cable for damage each time before every operation. Do not use a damaged mains cable. If damaged, replace the mains cable with an approved replacement. You can get a suitable replacement from KÄRCHER or one of our service partners. • Applies to RCV 3 devices: Only the cleaning robot model "RCV 3" may be charged. • Applies to RCV 5 devices: Only the cleaning robot model "RCV 5" may be charged.

ATTENTION • Use the charging station indoors only. • Do not place the charging station near heat sources, e.g. heaters. • Store the charging station indoors only, in a cool, dry place. • Charge the cleaning robot at least once a month to avoid deep discharge of the battery. • Switch off the charging station before all care and maintenance work.

Functional description

The device consists of a charging station and a battery-powered cleaning robot.

The mobile cleaning robot obtains its energy from a built-in rechargeable battery. The cleaning robot can clean for up to 120 minutes with a single battery charge. It automatically returns to the charging station to recharge when the battery charge decreases.

The cleaning robot moves systematically. It scans the room with a 3-D laser sensor with camera (LiDAR) and then cleans the room step-by-step. It avoids obstacles that are at least as high as the LiDAR tower.

Artificial intelligence helps the cleaning robot to avoid complex obstacles such as cables or shoes without interference.

Due to the calculation of the intelligent driving strategy by the artificial intelligence and the subsequent obstacle avoidance, it can take a few seconds, depending on the obstacle situation, until the robot resumes its regular travel path to clean the free area in straight paths.

The flat design of the cleaning robot allows it to clean under furniture such as beds, sofas and cupboards.

The ultrasound sensor detects carpets and avoids them during wet cleaning or combination cleaning. For dry cleaning only, the unit increases its suction performance on carpets (auto-boost).

Fall sensors that detect stairs and landings can prevent falls.

Collision sensors detect obstacles and avoid them. The battery for the cleaning robot is charged in the charging station.

If the cleaning robot starts the cleaning work from the charging station, it returns to the charging station when the battery charge is insufficient.

As soon as the charging process is finished, the cleaning robot automatically leaves the charging station and continues the cleaning work. The cleaning robot also returns to the charging station when it has finished cleaning.
