KNOW YOUR DEVICE

The Kalorik Home Pure Air Smart Robot Vacuum combines the convenience of automatic, hands off cleaning with ionic air purification technology. The vacuum provides edge and power settings for thorough cleaning, with the option for manual or automatic operation. Using the Kalorik Home app allows you to control, automate and map the vacuum cleaning process. The ionic air purifier function reduces allergens and dust in indoor environments to improve air quality and easy breathing.

BEFORE THE FIRST USE

Remove any power cords and small objects from the floor that may obstruct the vacuum. Fold any tasseled edges of area rugs underneath to prevent tangling when vacuuming.
Avoid cleaning very dark-colored, high-pile rugs or rugs thicker than 1.02 in. / 26 mm, as they may cause the appliance to malfunction.
Keep the vacuum away from spaces lower than 2.87 in. / 73 mm to prevent it from getting stuck. If necessary, place a physical barrier to block off the problem areas.
Keep the vacuum away from wet areas.
The vacuum may climb on top of objects less than 0.63 in. / 16 mm tall. Remove these objects if possible.
Anti-drop sensors prevent the vacuum from tumbling down stairs and steep drops. They may work less effectively if dirty or used on reflective/very darkcolored floors. It is recommended to place physical barriers to block off areas where the vacuum may fall.
Remove the foam blocks beside the bumper before use.

Note: Place physical barriers in front of fireplaces and areas that could damage the vacuum.

ASSEMBLY

Insert the side brushes into the vacuum
Turn on the main power switch on the bottom of the vacuum.

NOTE: Remove the foam blocks beside the bumper before use.

Place the charging base on a hard, level surface and against a wall.
Remove objects within 3 ft. / 1 m of the left and right side and within 6 ft. / 2 m of the front of the charging base.
Connect the round connector of the adapter into the power socket on the charging base and the other end into a wall outlet.
Press the AUTO button on top of the vacuum to turn the unit on. Alternatively, you can press the START/PAUSE button on the remote or by using the Kalorik Home app.

NOTE:

Install the charging base in a location that the vacuum can easily access. It is recommended to place the charging base against a wall, and on a hard-level surface rather than on rugs or carpets.
Always keep the charging base plugged in, otherwise the vacuum will not automatically return to it.

Remote Control

Open the back compartment of the remote control. Insert 2 AAA batteries inside and close the compartment.

Charging the Device

The vacuum has a pre-installed rechargeable battery that must be fully charged (approximately 4-6 hours) before use. The vacuum returns to the charging base at the end of a cleaning cycle or when its battery is running low.

There are two ways to initially charge the vacuum when it has no power:

Option 1: Attach the vacuum to the charging base by aligning its charging pins with the charging pins on the base.
Option 2: Directly connect the power adaptor to the jack on the side of the vacuum.

If the vacuum has sufficient power, it can also be directed to the charging base using the methods below:

Option 3: Press the "RETURN" button on the remote control to return the vacuum to the charging base.
Option 4: Use the Kalorik Home app to direct the vacuum to the charging base.
