3.1 Notes Before Cleaning

Before operating DEEBOT, take a few moments to survey the area to be cleaned and remove any obstacles.

Remove power cords and small objects from the oor that could entangle the product.

Please be aware that the robot needs at least an 8 cm (3”) clearance to clean under furniture without complications.

The product is not suitable for use on long-pile carpet. Before using the product near an area rug or on a short-pile area rug with tasseled edges, please fold area rug edges under themselves.

If there is a step or stairs in the cleaning area, please operate DEEBOT to ensure its AntiDrop Sensors can detect the drop off. It may be necessary to place a physical barrier at the edge of the drop o to keep the unit from falling over the edge.

3.3 Cleaning Mode Selection

DEEBOT has several cleaning modes to choose from to effectively clean different floors. Cleaning modes are selected using the Remote Control.

AUTO Cleaning Mode

This is the most commonly used mode. In AUTO Cleaning Mode, DEEBOT cleans in a straight line and changes direction when it meets an obstacle.

Intensive Cleaning Mode

This mode is good for aggressive cleaning or for extremely dirty or dusty floors. In this mode, DEEBOT follows the same cleaning pattern as Automatic Cleaning Mode, but with stronger suction power and higher Main Brush rotating speed and performs a more thorough cleaning.

Page 14

Spot Cleaning Mode

(2-5 minutes)

This mode is applicable for an area of highly concentrated dirt or dust. In Spot Cleaning Mode, DEEBOT focuses on a specific area to clean. DEEBOT cleans the area in a spiral pattern and stops when it completes Spot Cleaning.

This mode is good for cleaning the edges and corners of a room. In Edge Cleaning Mode, DEEBOT cleans along a border (e.g. wall).

Edge Cleaning Mode

Return to Charger Mode

When battery power gets low, DEEBOT automatically switches to Return to Charger Mode and returns to the Charging Dock to recharge itself.

DEEBOT can also be sent back to the Charging

Dock at any time by pressing the Return to Charger Button on the Remote Control.

DEEBOT has an Optional Advanced Mopping System using an Advanced Wet/Dry Cleaning Cloth attached to a proprietary Advanced Wet/Dry Reservoir. The washable/reusable Cleaning Cloth automatically damp mops and then dries the oor to a spotless clean.

Do not use the mopping system on carpet.

When using the mopping system, fold area rug edges under themselves so DDEEBOT will

avoid the rug.

When using the mopping system, do not stop the robot and allow it to stand still. This prevents

the Advanced Wet/Dry Cleaning Cloth from leaving water on the oor.

Remove the Advanced Wet/Dry Reservoir before charging DEEBOT.
