How your robot works

What your robot cleans

This robot is equipped with features that make it a suitable cleaner to help you clean the floors in your home.

The robot is especially suitable for cleaning hard floors, such as wooden, tiled or linoleum floors. It may experience problems cleaning soft floors, such as carpet or rugs. If you use the robot on a carpet or rug, please stay close by the first time to see if the robot can deal with this type of floor. The robot also needs supervision when you use it on very dark or shiny hard floors.

8 English

How your robot cleans

Cleaning system

The robot has a 3-stage cleaning system to clean your floors efficiently.

-The two side brushes help the robot clean in corners and along walls. They also help to remove dirt from the floor and move it towards the suction opening.

-The suction power of the robot picks up loose dirt and transports it

through the suction opening into the dust container.

- The robot comes with a dry wipe holder that allows you to clean your hard floor even more thoroughly with dry wipes.

Cleaning patterns

In its auto cleaning mode, the robot uses an automatic sequence of cleaning patterns to clean each area of the room optimally. The cleaning patterns it uses are:

1 Z-pattern or zigzag pattern

2 Random pattern

3 Wall-following pattern

English 9

4 Spiral pattern

In its auto cleaning mode, the robot uses these patterns in a fixed sequence:z-pattern, random pattern, wall-following pattern, and spiral pattern.

When the robot has completed this sequence of patterns, it starts moving in Z-pattern again. The robot continues to use this sequence of patterns to clean the room until the rechargeable battery runs low, or until it is switched off manually.

If the robot detects a particularly dirty area during its cleaning run, it switches to spiral mode and switches to turbo fan speed (FC8820 only) to ensure thorough dirt removal.

Note: You can also select each mode individually by pressing the appropriate button on the remote control or the pointer (FC8820 only). The manually selected modes are only active for a couple of minutes. After that, the robot switches back to auto-cleaning mode.

For more details, see chapter 'Using your robot', section 'Cleaning modes'.

How your robot avoids height differences

The robot has three drop-off sensors in its bottom. It uses these drop-off sensors to detect and avoid height differences such as staircases.

Note: It is normal for the robot to move slightly over the edge of a height difference, as its front drop-off sensor is located behind the bumper.

Caution: In some cases, the drop-off sensors may not detect a staircase or other height difference in time. Therefore monitor the robot carefully the first few times you use it, and when you operate it near a staircase or another height difference. It is important that you clean the drop-off sensors regularly to ensure the robot continues to detect height differences properly (see chapter ' Cleaning and maintenance' for instructions).

Before first use

Mounting the side brushes

1Unpack the side brushes and place the robot upside down on a table or on the floor.

2Push the side brushes onto the shafts on the bottom of the robot.

Note: Make sure you attach the side brushes properly. Press them onto the shaft until you hear them lock into position with a click.

10 English

Inserting the rechargeable battery

You have to insert te rechargeable battery before use.

Note: Please handle the rechargeable battery with care. Avoid dropping the battery. This will ensure maximum lifetime for your battery.

After approximately one minute the robot resumes its normal cleaning pattern. You can also stop the spiral mode by selecting a different cleaning mode on the remote control.
