Frequently Asked Questions - POWERbot SR20K9000UB SAMSUNG

How to charge the POWERbot SR20K9000UB?

Place the robot on the charging dock aligning the charging pins. Full charging takes approximately 240 minutes. The robot can also return to the dock automatically when the battery is low.

What to do if the robot cannot find its dock?

Check that the dock is plugged in and turned on (red light). Ensure no obstacles block the path (reflective objects, chairs). Clean the charging pins with a dry cloth.

How long does the robot's battery last?

In Normal mode on hard floor, the battery lasts about 30 minutes. This time may vary depending on battery condition and usage conditions.

How to clean the dust bin?

Deactivate the emergency stop button, remove the bin, empty it, wash it with clean water as well as the filter. Dry the filter in the shade before reinstalling.

What do the information codes on the display mean?

The codes indicate problems like blockage, foreign objects in the brush or wheels, or dirty sensors. Deactivate the emergency stop button and follow the instructions in the manual to resolve the issue.

Can I use the robot on carpet?

Yes, but avoid thick carpets over 1 cm. The robot may not climb onto them and could damage the carpet or itself.

How to replace the battery?

The built-in battery should only be replaced by a Samsung authorized service center. Do not attempt to remove it yourself. Contact customer service.

The robot makes an abnormal noise, what to do?

Deactivate the emergency stop button and empty the dust bin. Check if foreign objects block the air intake or main brush. If the noise persists, contact a service center.

Notes and cautions

Charging

Note

▶ If the battery overheats during charging, it may take longer to charge.
▶ When automatic charging is not working, do the following:

• Turn the emergency switch (on the bottom of POWERbot) off and on again.
• Unplug the docking station's power plug and then plug it back on.
• Unplug the docking station, and then check whether there is any foreign matter on the charge pins and clean POWERbot and the charge pins of the docking station with a dry cloth or rag.
• Check for any obstacles such as reflective objects, chairs, etc. near the docking station.

▶ If POWERbot is left detached from the docking station, the battery will drain naturally.

– Try to keep POWERbot being charged on the docking station. (However, turn off the emergency switch and leave the docking station unplugged when planning to leave the house for long periods of time by going on a business trip or vacation, etc.)

In use

Note

▶ The POWERbot may get caught on thresholds, etc. during cleaning.
- To restart operation, shut off the emergency switch, move the POWERbot to an area where it can move easily, and then turn on the power again.
▶ The POWERbot cannot completely clean areas it cannot enter, such as corners, between the wall and sofa, etc.

- Please use another cleaning tool to clean them regularly.

▶ The POWERbot cannot vacuum clumps of dirt, so some may remain on the floor after cleaning.
- Please use another cleaning tool to clean them regularly.
▶ If the battery becomes low during Auto clean mode, POWERbot will recharge and finish cleaning the remaining area after recharging. (Repeat cleaning frequency: 1 time)
▶ You cannot select and have the POWERbot execute Spot/Manual clean mode while it is charging.
▶ Do not unnecessarily move the POWERbot or press buttons while it is in Auto clean mode. It assumes that cleaning is complete and starts cleaning again from the beginning.
▶ Close doors before cleaning with the POWERbot. The POWERbot can enter rooms through thresholds even though the thresholds are below 5 cm.
▶ Try not to use the POWERbot at areas near slides, indoor swing, pots, fireplaces, or places with flame or moisture.

Troubleshooting

Symptom Checklist
The POWERbot is not working at all.	▶Check if the emergency switch is on.▶Check if all the icons are displayed on the display panel.▶Check if the POWERbot's battery is depleted.▶Replace the batteries (AAA type) if the remote controller is not working.
The POWERbot has stopped during cleaning.	▶When POWERbot is immobilized by an obstacle such as a cord, threshold etc, pick it up and move it away from the obstacle.- If any fabric or string is caught in a drive wheel, turn off the emergency switch and remove the fabric or string before using it again.
Suction power is weak.	▶When there's too much dust in the dustbin, suction power may get weakened. Turn off the emergency switch and empty the dustbin.▶If the intake (on bottom of POWERbot) is blocked by foreign matter, turn off the emergency switch and remove foreign matter from the intake.▶When noise suddenly increase, turn off the emergency switch and empty the dustbin.▶If the dustbin is assembled incorrectly, suction power may get weakened. Turn off the emergency switch and refer to page 17 for reassembling.
The POWERbot cannot find the docking station.	▶Check if there's a power failure or whether the power plug is unplugged.▶Remove any obstacles around the docking station that may prevent POWERbot from returning to the docking station.▶When there's foreign matter on the charge pins, charging can be affected. Clean the foreign matter off the pins.
The POWERbot suddenly cleans diagonally.	▶Check if the docking station is installed along the grain of wooden floors or tiles.▶The POWERbot may clean in a diagonal direction if it is moving to another area using the shortest route. It may also move at a diagonal if it made contact with an obstacles at that angle, if it was charged at the docking station at an angle, or if the grain of the wooden/tile floor skewed is in that direction.
POWERbot does not clean a certain area.	▶Check if the docking station is installed near a narrow passage or door, and reinstall it in the other areas.- If the docking station is installed near a narrow passage or door, the POWERbot cannot pass through the passage or threshold.
