Using your robot
Preparing for cleaning
1 Before you switch on the robot, clear the floor of loose objects such as toys, magazines and
shoes. Remove mains cords, wires and the pull cords of curtains or blinds from the floor.
2 Remove the small plug from the socket on the robot if it is still inserted (Fig. 15).
Note: The robot does not operate when it is connected to the mains. Therefore, always disconnect the
adapter from the robot and the mains before use.
Note: Always store the adapter in a safe place before you switch on the robot.
3 Make sure the dust container is empty and the filter is properly installed.
4 Place the robot on the floor in an area where there is enough free space around it.
Note: The robot is intended for cleaning hard floors. Stay close by when the robot is cleaning near carpets
or rugs to see how it is coping.
Cleaning
1 Press the on/off switch to switch on the robot (Fig. 16).
Caution: Always make sure the filter is present inside the dust container. If you use the robot
without the filter inside the dust container, the motor will be damaged.
Caution: Avoid using the robot near a staircase or other height difference or monitor it carefully.
Depending on specific circumstances in your home, the drop-off sensors in the bottom may not
detect a staircase or height difference in time.
The battery indicator lights up continuously during cleaning (Fig. 17).

2 The robot cleans the floors until the rechargeable battery is low or until it is switched off manually.
Note: The robot follows predefined cleaning patterns. See chapter 'How your robot works', section
'How your robot cleans' for more details.
Note: If the battery runs low during cleaning, the battery indicator flashes quickly and you hear two
beeps. Recharge the robot to continue cleaning (see chapter 'Preparing for use', section
'Charging') (Fig. 14).
