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.

Because the robot uses infrared sensors to navigate, it may run into
difficulties on very dark and shiny floors. If you use the robot on such
surfaces, please stay close by the first time to see if the robot can deal with
such a dark and shiny floor.

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.

8

English

-

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 a fixed and automatic sequence of
cleaning patterns to clean each area of the room optimally. It uses a Z­pattern (zigzag pattern), random pattern, wall-following pattern and spiral
pattern successively. It continues to move in 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 to ensure thorough
dirt removal.

Note: You can also select each mode individually in the app.

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 'Cleaning the robot').

English

Before first use

Mounting the side brushes

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

on the floor.

2 Push 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.

Removing the tag from the remote control (FC8932, FC8832 only)

Models FC8932 and FC8832 also come with a remote control. The remote
control works on a CR2025 coin-shaped battery. This battery is protected
with a protection tag that has to be removed before use.

1 Pull the battery protection tag out of the battery compartment of the

remote control. Now the remote control is ready for use.
