Please refer to the glass manufacturer's care and cleaning instructions before using WINBOT on glass with an uneven surface, such as frosted, textured, patterned, or coated glass. ECOVACS cannot be held liable or responsible for damage due to improper use on these surfaces.

Notes Before Cleaning - Step 1
Do not use WINBOT on a framed window with a frame narrower than 5 mm(0.2'').

Notes Before Cleaning - Step 2
If WINBOT's Status Indicator Light flashes RED, please charge WINBOT.

Notes Before Cleaning - Step 3
WINBOT can clean framed or frameless glass larger than 50 cm x 50 cm (19.7'' x 19.7'').

Notes Before Cleaning - Step 4
If the Safety Pod's Battery Indicator Light flashes RED, the battery power is low, and the Safety Pod cannot work. Please change the battery.

Notes Before Cleaning - Step 5
If the window is covered with dirt, clean a small area of the glass before placing Safety Pod and WINBOT there.

Notes Before Cleaning - Step 6
WINBOT can clean glass installed at an angle, but may not operate normally. In this case, a person should remain in the vicinity to assist should there be a problem.

Notes Before Cleaning - Step 7
WINBOT can clean glass installed horizontally, but only when using the Direction Control Buttons on the Remote Control. Keep the Safety Pod firmly attached to the glass.
