8 If the filter is dirty, clean it with a brush with soft bristles (e.g. a toothbrush) (Fig. 23).
9 Put the filter back into the dust container. Then place the lid on the dust container (Fig. 24).
10 Put the dust container back into the dust container compartment (Fig. 25).
11 Slide the dust container compartment cover back onto the robot until it locks into position.
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.
Cleaning the suction opening, the wheels and the drop-off sensors
After some time, dust and fluff can accumulate around the suction opening, the wheels and the
drop-off sensors in the bottom of the robot. To maintain good cleaning performance, you have to
clean the suction opening, the wheels and the drop-off sensors from time to time.
1 Make sure the on/off switch is in 'off' position.
2 Place the robot upside down on a flat surface.
3 Use a brush with soft bristles (e.g. a toothbrush) to remove dust or fluff from the suction
opening (Fig. 26).
4 Also use the brush to remove dust or fluff from the front wheel and side wheels.
5 Clean the drop-off sensors with a cotton bud to remove dust and fluff (Fig. 27).
Note: It is important that you clean the drop-off sensors regularly. If the drop-off sensors are dirty, the
robot may fail to detect height differences.
Cleaning the side brushes
After some time, fluff, hairs and threads start to accumulate around the shafts of the side brushes. To
ensure proper functioning, clean the side brushes and the shafts from time to time.
1 Make sure the on/off switch is in 'off' position.
2 Place the robot upside down on a flat surface.
3 Grab one of the side brushes by its bristles (Fig. 28).
4 Pull the side brush upwards to remove it from the shaft (Fig. 29).
5 Remove fluff, hairs and threads from the shaft and from the side brush with a soft brush (e.g.
a toothbrush) or a cloth (Fig. 30).
6 Push the side brush back onto the shaft (Fig. 31).
7 Repeat steps 2 to 5 for the other shaft and the other side brush.
