detergent or care agent to the fresh water tank.
ATTENTION
Overdosing or underdosing of the detergent or care
agent
Can result in poor cleaning results.
Follow the dosage recommendations for the detergent
or care agent.
Note
Do not use detergents from other manufacturers, as this
may cause heavy foaming on the floor or in the waste
water tank of the device.
In addition, foam may form during the first cleaning runs
if there is still residue on the floor from previously used
detergents from other manufacturers.
5. Close the tank cap.
6. Insert the fresh water tank into the device, see chap-
ter Inserting the waste and fresh water tank.
ATTENTION
Danger due to obstacles
Risk of damage
Before operating the cleaning robot, make sure that
there are no obstacles on the floor, stairs or landings.
Preparing the environment
● Keep the floor free of objects lying around to ensure
efficient cleaning. Obstacles require time-consum-
ing cleaning because the cleaning robot has to drive
around objects.
● Open the doors of the rooms that are to be cleaned.
● When operating the cleaning robot with the app:
Carry out the configuration in the app so that the
cleaning robot can clean according to individual
cleaning requirements (no-go zones, different
cleaning parameters, etc.), see chapter Settings in
the app.
