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.

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.
