4 Prior to each use

4.1 Preparing the room

No children or pets

Remove fragile objects

Remove sharp-edged debris

Use regularly

Remove obstacles

Short-pile carpets

WARNING:

Ensure that no children or pets are in the room or have access to the room to be cleaned.

CAUTION:

The appliance has a powerful drive. Do not underestimate its power. Put into a safe place objects that are fragile or could topple or fall over if the appliance drives into them.

CAUTION:

Remove pointed and sharp objects from the floor that could scratch surfaces if they get under the appliance.

NOTE:

Your robot can only take up small amounts of dirt. It does not replace a classic vacuum cleaner. Clean particularly dirty areas with a vacuum cleaner beforehand. Use your robot regularly so that large amounts of dirt cannot accumulate.

NOTE:

This robot vacuum cleaner vacuums more efficiently if it encounters as few obstructions as possi- ble and the covering does not change often. It may also be worthwhile to clear the room of poten- tial obstacles, cables, mats, carpet runners and similar items.
