Problem
The robot does not start
cleaning when I press the
start/stop button.
The robot does not
respond when I press
one of the buttons.
The robot beeped and
stopped.
The robot does not clean
properly.
Possible cause
The rechargeable battery is
empty.
The robot could not find the
docking station and the
battery ran out.
One or both wheels are stuck.
One or both side brushes are
stuck.
The robot was lifted while it
was cleaning.
The bristles of one or both side
brushes are crooked or bent.
The filter in the dust container
is dirty.
The suction opening in the
bottom of the dust container is
clogged.
The front wheel is jammed
with hair or other dirt.
The robot is cleaning a very
dark or shiny surface, which
triggers the drop-off sensors.
This causes the robot to move
in an unusual pattern.
Solution
Charge the rechargeable battery (see
'Preparing for use').
Place the robot on the plugged-in
docking station. After a few seconds, the
robot beeps and the display lights up.
Press the start/stop button. Remove the
fluff, hair, thread or wire that is caught
around the wheel suspension.
Clean the side brushes (see 'Cleaning
the robot').
Press the start/stop button. Place the
robot on the floor. Then press the
start/stop button to make the robot
resume cleaning.
Soak the brush or brushes in warm water
for a while. If this does not restore the
bristles to their proper shape, replace
the side brushes (see 'Replacing the side
brushes').
Disassemble the filter unit. Clean the
dust filer and the EPA filter with a
toothbrush with soft bristles. You can
also rinse the dust filter under a tap.
If cleaning the EPA filter does not help
anymore, replace the filter with a new
one. We advise you to replace the EPA
filter at least once a year.
Clean the suction opening (see
'Cleaning the robot').
Clean the front wheel (see 'Cleaning the
robot').
Press the start/stop button and then
move the robot to a lighter colored
piece of the floor. If the problem
continues to occur on lighter colored
floors, please go to
www.philips.com/support or contact the
Consumer Care Center in your country.
