Also, relocate unstable, fragile, valuable, or hazardous items (such as balls, scissors, knives, electrical appliances, medicines, toxic substances, glass, porcelain, liquid-filled containers, and lit candles) to prevent injury or damage due to items becoming tangled in, struck by, dragged, knocked over, picked up, or dropped upon pickup by the robot.
![]()
- When using the robot in a raised area (such as in a duplex apartment), always use a physical security barrier to prevent personal injury or property damage caused by accidental falls of the robot or the object picked up by the robotic arm.
![]()
Notes:
- When using the robot for the first time, follow it throughout its whole cleaning route and watch for potential problems. The robot will be able to clean by itself in future uses.
- To prevent excessive buildup of dirt on the mop cloths, floors should be vacuumed at least three times before the first mopping cycle.
Assembly
- Attach the dock base by pressing down both sides of the base and the connecting part in the middle firmly until you hear a click.
![]()
Note: When moving the dock, secure the water tanks to prevent them from falling off. - Connect the power cord to the back of the dock, and the power cord can exit at either the left or right cord slot opening.
![]()
