- Always return the appliance to an authorized Philips service
center for examination or repair. Repair by unqualified persons
could cause an extremely hazardous situation for the user.
- Do not incinerate, disassemble or expose the robot to
temperatures above 60°C. The rechargeable battery may explode
if overheated.
Caution
- The robot is fitted with three drop-off sensors in the bottom.
These drop-off sensors are used to detect and avoid height
differences. In some cases, the drop-off sensors may not detect a
staircase or other height difference in time. The circumstances in
your home (e.g. the light in the room, the colour or type of your
floor) can affect how well or fast the drop-off sensors react.
Therefore monitor the robot carefully, especially the first few
times you use it and when you operate it near a staircase or
another height difference.
- Do not put any tape or stickers over the drop-off sensors and
make sure you clean the drop-off sensors regularly. If the drop-
off sensors are covered or dirty, the robot is unable to detect a
staircase or other height difference.
- When you use the robot to vacuum fine sand, lime, cement dust
and similar substances, the pores of the filter become clogged.
- Never use scouring pads, abrasive cleaning agents or aggressive
liquids such as petrol or acetone to clean the appliance.
- Do not touch the mains plug with wet hands.
- Only use the adapter supplied to charge the appliance.
- Set the power switch to off and unplug the docking station or the
adapter if you are not going to use the robot for some time.
- Do not use the robot on high-pile carpets or on rugs with tassels.
- Do not clean the dust container and the filter with water or in the
dishwasher.
