Home Station.

Tip

Precautions with Smart Operation

- This Learning mode enables memorizing locations with obstacles to help bypass them. Robot Cleaner memorizes every aspect of the environment it was subjected to from when it started cleaning from the Home Station to the moment it nishes its course.

- Robot Cleaner learns new conditions again when the location of Home Station has been changed.

- If the learning mode is accepted, a voice message will say "Environment has been studied by learning process."

MOP CLEANING (OPTION)

By attaching the ultra microber mop, you can effectively use the Robot Cleaner to remove dust on hard oor surfaces.

When the mop plate is attached, the Robot Cleaner will not climb on to carpets or over thresholds, in order to prevent transferring dirt from the mop.

For mop cleaning, mount the mop and mop plate to the Robot Cleaner according to the following instructions:

1. Attach the ultra microber mop to the Velcro of the mop plate as shown in the gure.

2. Firmly slide the Mop Plate into the furrows until you hear a 'click' sound.

'Note that, if the Mop Plate is not secured correctly, it may separate during

※

the cleaning.

“Click!”

3. It is essential that the xing hooks on the Mop Plate align correctly on to the xing

grooves on the underside of the cleaner.

To avoid staining oors, do not use the ultra microber mop to clean when dirt

is contaminated with liquids such as coffee or ink.

●

To avoid damage to carpets from the Velcro or dirt transfer from the mop, do

not attempt to clean the carpet while the mop plate or mop is attached.

Keep the ultra microber mop dry. Do not use it on wet surfaces. If there is moisture on the oor, it can interfere with the navigation and damage

the unit.
