Important Safety Instructions
Basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
Read ALL instructions before use.
• To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse any part of Bob — with the
exception of his mopping cloth — into water or other liquids.
• Unplug Bob from outlet when not in use and before conducting maintenance.
• Do not operate Bob or his charging station if they have been damaged in any way.
If Bob is not working as he should, or has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors, or dropped in water, contact our customer care center at [email protected].
• Do not handle Bob or his charging station with wet hands.
• Do not use Bob outdoors or on any wet surface.
• Bob is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless under the close supervision of a person responsible for their safety.
• Do not pull or carry the charging station by the cord, use the cord as a handle, close
a door on the cord, or pull the cord around sharp edges or corners. Keep the cord away from heated surfaces. To unplug the cord, grasp the plug, not the cord itself.
• Do not mutilate or incinerate the battery, as it will explode at high temperatures.
• Do not attempt to open Bob’s charging station. Repairs on his station should only
be carried out by our qualified customer care center.
• Do not expose Bob’s charging station to high temperatures or allow moisture or
humidity of any kind to come into contact with it.
• Do not let Bob pick up toxic materials (chlorine bleach, ammonia, drain cleaner,
etc.).
• Do not let Bob pick up anything that is burning or smoking, such as cigarettes,
matches, or hot ashes. Do not use Bob to pick up flammable or combustible liquids
6 7
such as gasoline, nor use him in areas where they may be present.
• Do not use Bob in an enclosed space filled with vapors given off by oil-based paint,
paint thinner, moth-proofing substances, flammable dust, or other explosive or toxic vapors.
• Leaks from battery cells can occur under extreme usage or temperature conditions.
If the liquid gets on skin, wash quickly with water. If the liquid gets into the eyes, flush them immediately with clean water for a minimum of 10 minutes, and seek medical attention.
• Do not use Bob for anything other than his intended purpose, as specified in this
manual.

Install Bob’s Side Brush
Charge Bob
Before Bob’s first clean, you must install his side brush, which allows him to sweep along corners, walls, and other hard-to-reach places.
You will need the following materials, all of which are included inside Bob’s box: a flat head screwdriver, a short screw, and a side brush.
1
Flip Bob over onto a flat surface. Place the side brush over the empty socket on Bob’s underside.
16 17
Secure Bob’s side brush using the flat head screwdriver and short screw.
2
After installing Bob’s side brush, you must set him to charge.
To charge Bob:
1
Plug the charging adapter into the side of the charging station.
The charging station will save its last settings for up to 8 hours after being discon­nected or turned off.
Place Bob on his charging station with the metal plates on his underside sit­ting on top of the nodes on his station.
2
You may use the additional side brush and screws as spares.
If Bob can’t find his charging station on his own, the station needs to be
synced (see page 32).

Cleaning Bob’s Sensors
Edge and wall sensors
Dust on Bob’s wall and edge sensors can reduce his performance. Bob's wall sensors are located along his bumper, and his edge sensors are located on his underside. Regularly cleaning these sensors ensures that Bob keeps working at his best.
To do so:
Wipe the wall and edge sensors using a soft cloth slightly dampened with cold water or alcohol.
72 73
Dirt sensors
For a more efficient clean, Bob is equipped with dirt sensors. If Bob reaches a par­ticularly dirty spot while cleaning, his dirt sensors will activate, the word DIRT will appear on his screen, and Bob will focus his attention on the spot. Bob's dirt sensors are located on the back wall of his interior, where the dustbin attaches. To clean the sensors, wipe them with a soft cloth.

Trouble Numbers
When Bob faces an uncomfortable situation, he will notify you by displaying
Trouble Number 00: Left Wheel
TROUBLE NR., coupled with a two-digit number, on his screen. Each number corresponds to a certain issue Bob is having.
What to do:
Start by checking the wheel for jamming. Use the cleaning tool or com­pressed air to remove any debris that may be jamming the wheel. If this does not solve the problem and Bob still displays Trouble Number 00, run a checkup test and see how the wheel performs (see page 92).

Trouble Number 01: Right Wheel
Trouble Number 02: Main Brush
What to do:
Start by checking the wheel for jamming. Use the cleaning tool or com­pressed air to remove any debris that may be jamming the wheel. If this does not solve the problem and Bob still displays Trouble Number 01, run a checkup test and see how the wheel performs (see page 92).
What to do:
Remove the main brush using a flat head screwdriver, and clean it thor­oughly from end to end (see page 64). You may use a pair of scissors to cut hair or thread wrapped around the brush, or a pair of tweezers to remove congestion from the notches where the main brush is held. If Bob displays Trouble Number 02 while cleaning on a shag carpet or rug, you may re­move his main brush and allow him to vacuum without it.

bobsweep.com/collections/coverage-plans.
After Bob's 1-year warranty expires, all his replacement parts and visits to the bObsweep hospital are subsidized between 25% – 50% for the next 5 years.
To activate Bob’s warranty, keep your original purchase receipt and register him at bobsweep.com/warranties/registerbobsweep.
102 103
Bob’s cleaning pattern may look quite different from the way a human would
clean: he may spin in a gradually widening circle, follow along walls, or zigzag
across a small area. Sometimes he may seem to be ignoring some spaces or
spending too much time on others — but don’t worry! Bob’s dirt sensors tell him
to pay more attention to particularly dusty or soiled areas. Rest assured, Bob
will efficiently clean your home within the course of a full cycle — just check his
dustbin for the evidence!
It is best to let Bob work in his own way, even if his movements appear odd.
Moving him around, manipulating his movements, or picking him up may confuse
him and disrupt his cycle.
If you wish to control Bob’s movements manually, you may use the navigational
buttons on his remote. If your rooms are divided by ledges higher than Bob is
able to climb, you may block off the area using blOck (available for purchase
separately).
Page 53
Bob’s Challenges
Unique Furniture
Bob is designed to maneuver around furniture of most shapes and sizes, but certain configurations may confuse him temporarily. Bob may sometimes find it difficult to clean under chairs with narrow legs, or furniture that is too low for his bumper sensors to detect. Specialty furniture, such as desk chairs with wheels or stools with circular bases, may also confuse him for a moment — but don’t worry, Bob usually finds his way around with time.
Edge Sensors
Bob uses infrared light to detect edges and stairs; because dark-colored carpet absorbs most light, it may seem like an edge to Bob’s sensors. If Bob displays TROUBLE NR. 04 while working on dark-colored carpet, you may need to tem­porarily deactivate his edge sensors. To do so, simply hold down the UV button on Bob’s cover until the 5 bars at the top of his screen flash 7 times and then re­main lit (see page 74). Just remember that while Bob’s sensors are deactivated, he will not be able to detect edges or stairs!
Main Brush
Bob’s main brush is not designed to clean shag carpet or rugs with long fibers or fringes. You may remove Bob’s main brush and allow him to vacuum without it, but he will not clean as effectively.
104 105
Mop
Bob’s mop, which attaches to his underside, is designed to sit flat against the
floor and leave behind a clean trail. Because of this, Bob may have a tough time
climbing over elevated surfaces while mopping. Make sure to remove Bob’s mop
when he is not cleaning smooth surfaces such as tile or hardwood.
Inclines
Sometimes Bob will attempt to drive up angled surfaces, get stuck for a few min-
utes, and then decide to clean somewhere else. This is because Bob wants to
cover every spot in your home, and will try his hardest to overcome any obstacle!
As long as Bob does not display a Trouble Number on his screen, let him con-
tinue cleaning and find his own way around. Take note of the areas Bob finds
the most challenging, and if possible spread or adjust some of your furniture
accordingly.
The Solution: blOck (sold separately)
If Bob finds a part of your home challenging to clean, use blOck to keep him
away. blOck emits a digital boundary Bob will not cross.

FAQs
1. Where can I find Bob’s how-to videos?
Bob’s how-to videos can be found at Bob’s owners’ corner,
owners.bobsweep.com.
2. How long should Bob’s battery last?
The exact time depends on the age of the battery and the type of surface Bob is cleaning. Generally, the smoother the surface (e.g. hardwood or tile), the longer the battery will last. When fully charged, a new Bob usually cleans for 45 to 90 minutes.
3. How do I know that Bob is fully charged and ready to clean?
When Bob charges using the charging station or charging adapter, the battery bars and the word CHARGING on his display screen flash. When Bob's bat­tery is fully charged, CHARGING and the battery bars disappear and the word READY appears on his screen.
4. How often should I empty the dustbin?
Bob’s dustbin has a 1000 mL capacity — three times larger than most robotic vacuum cleaners on the market! This means you may not need to empty the dustbin immediately after every cleaning. Depending on the size of the room and the amount of debris piled up, Bob may be able to perform multiple cleaning cycles before he fills his dustbin. Simply remove the dustbin and check to see if emptying is necessary.
106 107
5. How often should I clean Bob’s brushes?
Bob’s brushes do a lot of the work picking up hair and larger debris, so it is recommended that you clean the main and side brushes once a week. If you notice a thick covering of hair and debris on his brushes, remove and clean them. This ensures they stay in good condition for a long time. Re­member to also clean the notches on Bob that hold the brushes in place.
6. My Bob won’t turn on no matter what I do.
If Bob does not start after flipping his power switch ON, his battery has likely drained too low to operate. To recharge him, place him on his charging station with the metal plates on his underside sitting on top of the nodes on his station. Alternatively, you can unplug the adapter from the charging station and plug it directly into the inlet above Bob's power switch. When Bob charges, the battery bars on his display screen flash. Let Bob recharge fully before using again.
7. Why is my Bob beeping?
Bob beeps when he encounters a problem and needs assistance. In addi­tion to beeping, he will display a Trouble Number on his screen, which lets you know why he has stopped (see page 80).
8. Bob is having trouble finding his charging station. Where is the best place to
put his station?
Bob will find his station more easily if you place it in a central location with plenty of space around it, so that he may detect it from afar. To facilitate Bob's docking, place the charging station against a wall on a flat surface (like hardwood or tile flooring) instead of carpet. To increase Bob's chance of finding his station, place the station in a spot where Bob has a higher chance of passing through.
Page 55
9. I am having problems removing Bob’s brush.
If the main or side brushes are difficult to remove, it is likely because hair, thread, or other debris are clogging the areas where they attach to Bob. It is best to clean Bob’s brushes about once a week to prevent buildup. You may use scissors to cut away hair wrapped around the brushes, until you are able to remove them. You may need to gently pull the main brush up or down to reach the corners, but do not force the brush out as this can damage it.
10. Bob gets stuck under my furniture or travels over wires that tangle up his brush.
How can I stop him from going into these areas?
If Bob maneuvers under a piece of furniture and there is only one open entrance, he may need a few minutes to figure out how to escape on his own. You will not need to assist him when this happens, unless Bob stops cleaning completely and starts beeping.
A broom icon and the word GO on the station's screen means Bob is on auto-resume mode. On auto-resume, Bob will automatically begin clean­ing after he has fully charged. To disable auto-resume, press the OK/Cycle button on the station. The broom icon and GO will disappear.
12. When should I use different cleaning modes?
Robot mode is Bob’s default mode and gives him enough time to thoroughly cover a large area. If you would like to clean a smaller area, you may use Quick Clean mode, which lasts 30 minutes, or Touch Up mode, which lasts 15 minutes.
Waffle Track™ and Spiral Track™ are best used when cleaning a small spill. When Waffle Track™ is selected, Bob travels in a grid pattern; when Spiral Track™ is selected, Bob travels in a gradually widening circle. Select Wall Track™ to make Bob travel along the perimeter of your room.
If you would like Bob to avoid a certain area, such as an area with wires, you may use blOck (sold separately) to create a digital barrier.
11. Why does Bob start cleaning when I did not tell him to clean?
Bob will start up on his own when he is scheduled to clean, or when he is on auto-resume mode. Bob’s cleaning schedule is displayed on his charging station. Bob will automatically start cleaning on the time and days of the week he is scheduled to clean. A broom icon under the word CLK on the station's screen means Bob has a scheduled cleaning coming up.
108 109
Bob works on a 24-hour clock, so if he is scheduled to clean at 08:00, then he will begin cleaning at 8 am; if he is scheduled to clean at 20:00, then he will begin cleaning at 8 pm.
13. Bob is stopping and displaying TROUBLE NR. on his screen. How can I fix this?
Bob’s Trouble Number let's you know the specific reason his work has been interrupted. This allows you to identify the source of the problem quickly. A Trouble Number rarely signals a defect, and usually has a simple solu­tion. Along with words TROUBLE NR., there will also be a two-digit num­ber in the center of Bob’s screen. The numbers range from 00 to 10. Each number represents an issue with a specific part on Bob. Refer to the Trou­bleshooting section of this manual (page 80) for the cause of the problem as well as the solution.
Page 56
110
14. What is the best way to clean Bob’s wheels?
Use the cleaning tool or compressed air to clear the creases of the wheels. For a more thorough clean, wipe the sides and bottoms of the wheels as they spin during checkup mode (see page 92).
15. My Bob just stopped while cleaning and the screen turned off. What do I do
next?
Like other electronic devices with a CPU (computers, smartphones, etc.), Bob may experience a momentary halt in his operating system. You can usually get Bob back to work by simply flipping his power switch OFF and ON again. If this does not solve the issue, Bob might need a mainboard reset. To do so, flip his power switch OFF and plug the charging adapter directly into the inlet above his power switch. Leave him to charge over­night to fully refresh his system.
16. I have a question and need to contact Bob's support team. How do I do that?
Our devoted team is always eager to help you! You can reach us by phone or e-mail.
