06_ safety information

BEFORE USE

Before activating the vacuum cleaning robot, make sure that

CAUTION

the dust bin is assembled.

If the dust bin is not inserted, vacuum cleaning robot will not operate.

Never use vacuum cleaning robot in locations with combustible material such as.

Locations with candles or desk lamps on the ﬂ oor. Locations with unattended ﬁ res (ﬁ re or embers). Locations with gasoline, distilled alcohol, thinner, ashtrays with -

burning cigarettes, etc.

Vacuum cleaning robot is for domestic use only. Do not use it in the following locations.

Attics, basements, warehouses, industrial buildings, separate rooms distant from the main building, locations exposed to wet or damp conditions such as bathrooms or wash rooms, and narrow and highly situated locations such as tables or shelves. Critical damage (abnormal operation and breakage) may occur when used in these locations.

01 SAFETY INFORMATION

CAUTION

Open all doors to clean all rooms.

When a door is closed, the vacuum cleaning robot will not be able to enter that room. However, make sure to close the doors to the main entrance, the veranda and the -

bathroom, and any other rooms where the vacuum cleaning robot may fall to a lower ﬂ oor.

Do not use the cleaner on a black ﬂ oor.

The vacuum cleaning robot may not run normally in this case. -

For carpets with long tassels, fold the tassels under the carpet.

Unfolded tassels may result in critical damage to the carpet and the machine itself, as they get caught in the driving wheel or the power brush.

When the cliff sensor is polluted, the vacuum cleaning robot may be in danger of falling down the stairs.

This may cause personal injury and critical damage to the product.

To prevent risk, install the VIRTUAL GUARDs (Fence Mode setting) in front of dagerous areas. Clean the sensor window and camera.

safety information _07

CAUTION

Remove small objects or brittle items from the area to be cleaned in advance.

Make sure to clear any objects before cleaning. Make sure to remove fragile items such as china, glass objects, -

ﬂ owerpots, etc. Vacuum cleaning robot does not recognize coins, rings or other -

valuable items such as jewelry.

Remove objects scattered on the ﬂ oor before cleaning.

Vacuum cleaning robot is designed to detect obstacles 5cm away from it.

Bath towels, pads in front of bathrooms and sinks, entrances, utility rooms, power cords, table cloths or belts can become entangled in the driving wheel or power brush. This can cause objects to fall from the table.

Inform all family members (or relevant parties) to be cautious before cleaning or when using the Scheduled Cleaning Mode.

Vacuum cleaning robot may run into children, causing them to fall. -

CAUTION

Ensure that children do not step or sit on the vacuum cleaning robot.

Children may fall and injure themselves or critical damage may occur to the product.

Vacuum cleaning robot may attract their attention. When the rotating wheel or brush catches ﬁ ngers, feet, clothing or -

hair, this may result in injury. If a child or pet is in the way of the vacuum cleaning robot, it may -

be identiﬁ ed as an obstacle and the area may not cleaned. When the Power Switch is turned off, it will cut off the power -

supply and deactivate all functions.

When installing the charger station, do not leave the power cord exposed on the ﬂ oor.

When the vacuum cleaning robot automatically recharges or passes by the charger station, it may drag the power cord around with it.

Always keep the power cord of the charger plugged into the

CONVENIENT VIRTUAL GUARD FUNCTION

You can conﬁ ne the vacuum cleaning robot to a particular section by using the Fence (virtual wall) mode.

What is ceiling shape recognition (Visionary • mapping plus™)?

This function recognizes the shape of the ceiling using the camera on top to identify the area to be cleaned and determines the best way to pass over and clean every section of the ﬂ oor.

DELICATE CLEANING OF EVERY CORNER

Since the vacuum cleaning robot cleans the ﬂ oor in a sequential way ( ) along the map determined by the ceiling shape recognition function, it cleans every corner of the ﬂ oor.

VARIOUS CLEANING MODES

Various cleaning modes are provided to meet all your needs.

About 1.5m

Auto Mode :1. Cleans all rooms automatically. Spot Mode :2. Cleans a localized area intensely. It can be used to clean bread or cookie

crumbs.

Max Mode :3. Runs until the battery is nearly depleted. Manual Mode :4. You can clean the ﬂ oor manually by moving the cleaning robot. Turbo Mode :5. Since the power brush rotates at maximum speed in this mode, the product will

clean more effectively.(You can switch the mode with the remote control.) Dust Sensor Mode :6. When dust enters the vacuum cleaner, the vacuum cleanin robot starts to clean its surroundings intensively. (You can operate this with the remote control.)

Timer Mode :7. At the speciﬁ ed time, the cleaning robot cleans the ﬂ oor. Weekly Schedule Mode :8. A scheduled cleaning operation starts from the set time of a
