Function of the cleaning robot

• The mobile cleaning robot draws its energy from a built-in rechargeable battery, which it regularly recharges at the charging station provided. With one battery charge, the cleaning robot can clean up to 125 minutes in sensitive mode. It automatically returns to the charging station to recharge when the battery charge is too low.
• 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.
• The cleaning robot moves systematically. It scans the room with a laser sensor (LiDAR) and then cleans the room step-by-step. It avoids obstacles that are at least as high as the LiDAR tower.
• The cleaning robot has fall sensors that can detect staircases and steps, designed to prevent it from falling.
• The ultrasound sensor detects carpets and avoids them during wet cleaning.
• The cleaning robot has a fresh and a waste water tank as well as a microfibre roller that is regularly moistened with fresh water and continuously cleans itself through its rotation, thereby thoroughly wet mopping the floor. At the same time, light loose dirt such as crumbs, dust fluff etc. can be picked up along with the mopping process. Dirty water is conveyed into the waste water tank via the roller. Particles are collected in the scraper unit with hair comb and partially transported into the waste water tank.

   Overdosing or underdosing of the detergent or care agent
   Can result in poor cleaning results.
   Follow the dosage recommendations for the detergent or care agent.
   Note
   Do not use detergents from other manufacturers, as this may cause heavy foaming on the floor or in the waste water tank of the device.
   In addition, foam may form during the first cleaning runs if there is still residue on the floor from previously used detergents from other manufacturers.
5. Close the tank cap.
6. Insert the fresh water tank into the device, see chapter Inserting the waste and fresh water tank.

Operation

ATTENTION
Danger due to obstacles
Risk of damage
Before operating the cleaning robot, make sure that there are no obstacles on the floor, stairs or landings.

Preparing the environment

• Keep the floor free of objects lying around to ensure efficient cleaning. Obstacles require time-consuming cleaning because the cleaning robot has to drive around objects.
• Open the doors of the rooms that are to be cleaned.
• When operating the cleaning robot with the app: Carry out the configuration in the app so that the cleaning robot can clean according to individual cleaning requirements (no-go zones, different cleaning parameters, etc.), see chapter Settings in the app.
