Care And Service - Kärcher RCW 5 Manual

Note
Check the charging state of the battery before every use
of the cleaning robot.
If the battery status LED lights up or flashes red, the

cleaning robot does not suction onto the glass surface.
Place the cleaning robot in the station to charge the bat-
tery.
If the battery status LED is green, the charging state is
sufficient for safe operation.
