ENGLISH

Returning to the charging base

Press the Back home button on the robot or on the app (with a house icon) in order to send the robot to the charging base. The robot vacuum cleaner will continue vacuuming until it reaches the charging base.

Manual mode

Select the manual cleaning mode on the app to steer your robot vacuum cleaner manually.

Power level function

Select the power level on the app to control the robot suction power during cleaning processes. There are 3 suction power levels: Turbo, Normal and Eco.

Cleaning scheduling

To make cleaning easier, the robot has a function that allows it to be programmed daily from the app. According to the setting, the robot will automatically start cleaning in the selected days at the desired time.

5. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

High-efficiency filter. Fig. 24

• The high-efficiency filter is designed with fibres that help trap dust particles, dust mites, pollen... It is very important to periodically clean the filter, to avoid these particles from building up in the filter, causing efficiency loss. It is convenient to carry out this maintenance once a week.
• It is recommended to replace the high-efficiency filter with a new one without exceeding 160 cleaning hours.

Recommendation

Dirt can be removed with a small brush or by shaking carefully against a hard surface for dust to fall off. The high-efficiency filter cannot be washed.

Mesh primary 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 motor and damage it.

Free-fall sensors cleaning

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

Warning

Do not apply cleaning products directly on the sensors.

Cleaning the Jalisco brush

The Jalisco brush is designed for hard floors. Its micro-fibre technology captures dust, sand, mites and lint efficiently in a single pass. This brush is in contact with the floor, and therefore with dirt, so it can be worn out over time, affecting negatively to the cleaning efficiency. For this reason, it is suggested to replace the Jalisco brush after a maximum of 320 hours or less.

1. Slightly press the Jaliscazo brush frame tabs in order to open the slot and remove it. Fig. 25
2. Remove any hair, lint or other dirt trapped in the brush and around the shafts.
3. Clear and clean the robot suction channel. Fig. 26
4. Reinstall the Jalisco brush and its frame.

Side brushes

Side brushes are designed with multiple bristles and are used to push dirt towards the suction nozzle and to thoroughly clean edges and corners. These brushes can wear out over time, affecting negatively to the cleaning efficiency. For this reason, it is suggested to replace each side brush after a maximum of 220 hours or less.

Recommendation

It is recommended to clean the side brushes once a week with the help of the autoclean brush.

Sensors

• Your 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 be blocked over time, causing possible navigation errors.
• It is suggested to clean all the robot sensors with the cleaning brush or with a dry, soft cloth after a maximum of 35 hours of operation or less.

Battery charge and replacement

To lengthen the battery shelf life, keep the robot charging on the charging base when not in use. Remove the battery and store it in a safe, dry place if the device will not be used for a long period of time.

To replace the battery, follow the instructions below:

1. Unscrew the 2 screws on the battery slot, remove the battery cover and the battery. Fig. 27
2. Insert the new battery with the battery label facing up. Fig. 28

3. Place the battery and the battery cover in its place and fix properly the screws back again.
