How your robot works

What your robot cleans
This robot is equipped with features that make it a suitable cleaner to help you clean the floors in your
home.
The robot is especially suitable for cleaning hard floors, such as wooden, tiled or linoleum floors. It
may experience problems cleaning soft floors, such as carpet or rugs. If you use the robot on a carpet
or rug, please stay close by the first time to see if the robot can deal with this type of floor. The robot
also needs supervision when you use it on very dark or shiny hard floors.
Cleaning system
The robot has a 3-stage cleaning system to clean your floors efficiently.
- The two side brushes help the robot clean in corners and along walls. They also help to remove dirt
from the floor and move it towards the suction opening (Fig. 3).
- The suction power of the robot picks up loose dirt and transports it through the suction opening
into the dust container (Fig. 4).
- Types FC8796 and FC8794 come with a mopping attachment that can be attached to the robot to
mop your hard floor.

Cleaning patterns

In its auto cleaning mode, the robot uses an automatic sequence of bounce and wall-following
patterns to clean each area of the room optimally. It continues to clean until its battery runs low or
until it is switched off.
You can also select one of the three individual cleaning modes by pressing the appropriate button on
the remote control (see 'Cleaning mode selection'). The robot continues cleaning in the selected
cleaning mode for a few minutes and then returns to auto cleaning mode.
1 Bounce mode (Fig. 5)
2 Wall-following mode (Fig. 6)
