Device Description
The robot vacuum includes a dust collector, water tank for mopping, charging dock, remote control, and various sensors for navigation and anti-drop protection. Ensure all parts are present before use.
Initial Setup
- Connect the mains adapter to the charging dock and plug it into a wall outlet.
- Place the charging dock flush against a wall in an area free of obstacles (1m left/right, 2m front).
- Set the main power switch on the bottom of the robot to the I (on) position.
- Press and hold the power button on the robot for 3 seconds to turn it on.
- Place the robot on the charging dock to fully charge (approx. 4–6 hours).
Operation
The robot features three cleaning modes: Automatic, Spot (for heavily soiled areas), and Corner (for following walls). You can also adjust the suction power and use the mop function by attaching the water tank and floor cloth. Use the remote control to steer the robot manually or set a cleaning schedule.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity of the device:
- Dust collector: Empty after each use.
- Primary filter: Clean weekly (twice weekly if very dirty).
- HEPA filter: Clean every 4 weeks (every 2 weeks if very dirty); replace after max. 6 months.
- Side brushes/Roller brush: Clean every 4 weeks.
- Anti-drop sensors/Charging contacts: Clean every 2 weeks/4 weeks respectively.
- Water tank/Floor cloth: Clean after each use.
Troubleshooting
If the robot crashes into objects, tap the bumper 10-20 times to release trapped dirt. If the robot does not start at the scheduled time, ensure it is not switched off and is properly parked on the charging dock. If the indicator lights do not show a breathing white effect while charging, check the power connections and clean the charging contacts.
