Cleaning the Intake

After repeated use, dirt and dust can accumulate around the intake of the vacuum and the working efficiency can be reduced. To ensure the best efficiency and constant airflow, the intake should be cleaned periodically by removing any debris from the intake or brushroll. Before cleaning the intake ensure the robot is not attached to the charging cable or dock, and the power switch is in the off position.

Cleaning the Sensors

After repeated use, dirt and dust can accumulate on the sensors of the vacuum and the working efficiency can be reduced.
To ensure the best efficiency, the sensors should be cleaned off periodically by brushing any dirt or debris from them.
Before cleaning the sensors, ensure the robot is not attached to the charging cable or dock and the power switch is in the off position.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING YOUR ROBOT VACUUM.
Always connect the charger to a polarized outlet (one slot is wider than the other). Unplug from outlet when not in use and before conducting maintenance. When using an electrical appliance, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY:

  • Do not use outdoors or on wet surfaces.
  • Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when used by or near children.
  • Do not use for any purpose other than described in this User's Guide. Use only manufacturer's recommended attachments.
  • Do not charge with damaged cord or plug. If appliance is not working as it should, has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped into water, have it repaired at an qualified technician.
  • Do not pull or carry by cord, use cord as a handle, close a door on cord, or pull cord around sharp edges or corners. Do not run appliance over cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.
  • Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the charger, not the cord.
  • Do not handle charger, docking station or robot vacuum cleaner with wet hands.
  • Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with any opening blocked; keep openings free of dust, lint, hair, and anything that may reduce air flow.
  • Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from openings and moving parts.
  • Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible materials (lighter fluid, gasoline, kerosene, etc.) or use in areas where they may be present.
  • Do not use in an enclosed space filled with vapors given off by oil base paint, paint thinner, some moth proofing substances, flammable dust, or other explosive or toxic vapors.
  • Do not use to pick up toxic material (chlorine bleach, ammonia, drain cleaner, etc.).
  • Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes, matches, or hot ashes.
  • Do not use without filter in place.
  • Use only on dry, indoor surfaces.
  • Keep appliance on a level surface.
  • Do not carry the robot vacuum cleaner while it is running.
  • Place the cords from other appliance out of the area to be cleaned.
  • Do not operate the vacuum in a room where an infant or child is sleeping.
  • Do not operate the vacuum in an area where there are lit candles or fragile objects on the floor to be cleaned.
  • Do not operate the vacuum in a room that has lit candles on furniture that the vacuum may accidentally hit or bump into.
  • Do not allow children to sit on the vacuum.
  • Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to battery pack, picking up or carrying the appliance. Do not carry the appliance with your finger on the switch.
  • Disconnect the battery pack from the appliance before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing appliance. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the appliance accidentally.
  • Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
  • Use appliances only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
  • When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
  • Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
  • Do not use a battery pack or appliance that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
  • Do not expose a battery pack or appliance to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 130 degrees C may cause explosion.
  • Having servicing performed by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the product is maintained.
  • For use only with battery pack.
  • For use only with charger.
  • Do not modify or attempt to repair the appliance or the battery pack.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This model is for household use only.

  • Plastic film can be dangerous. To avoid danger of suffocation, keep away from children.
  • Do not plug in your vacuum cleaner UNTIL you are familiar with all instructions and operating procedures.
  • To reduce the risk of electrical shock, turn power switch off and disconnect polarized plug from electrical outlet BEFORE performing maintenance or troubleshooting checks.
