Operating Instructions
Starting a Cleaning Cycle
The Vileda Relax Robot Vacuum Cleaner offers three cleaning programs, selectable via buttons on the device, to suit different room sizes and cleaning needs:
- 5-minute program: Ideal for quick cleaning of small areas.
- 30-minute program: Suitable for medium-sized rooms.
- 60-minute program: For thorough cleaning of larger spaces.
To start a cleaning cycle, press the corresponding button for your desired program. The robot will begin cleaning automatically.
Cleaning System
The robot utilizes a powerful 3-step cleaning system:
- Step 1: Side Brush Cleaning: The side brush effectively cleans edges and corners, sweeping debris into the robot's path.
- Step 2: Rotating Brush: A rotating brush is designed to agitate and collect dirt, dust, and hair from the floor surface.
- Step 3: Suction Power: Powerful suction then draws fine dust and collected debris into the dustbin.
Navigation and Safety Features
- Intelligent Navigation: The robot employs an intelligent navigation program, cleaning in spirals and adapting its path when encountering furniture.
- Obstacle Avoidance: It autonomously avoids obstacles. Soft bumpers protect your furniture from strong impacts. If it gets stuck, it will attempt to reverse and find a new path.
- Cliff Sensors: Special sensors detect stairs and elevated edges, preventing the robot from falling.
- Low Profile Design: With a height of 8.7 cm, the robot can easily clean under most furniture.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your Vileda Relax Robot Vacuum Cleaner.
Emptying the Dustbin
- The dustbin should be emptied frequently, especially after each cleaning cycle, as its capacity is relatively small.
- Locate the dustbin release mechanism (refer to the product diagram if available).
- Remove the dustbin and dispose of the collected debris.
Cleaning the Filter
- The sponge filter should be cleaned regularly to prevent clogging and maintain suction power. An extra mesh filter is included for replacement.
- Remove the filter from the dustbin.
- Tap the filter gently to remove loose dust. Use the provided cleaning brush to remove any stubborn debris.
- Do not wash the filter unless explicitly stated in a more detailed guide. Ensure it is completely dry before reinserting.
Cleaning the Brushes
- The rotating brush and side brushes can accumulate hair and pet fur.
- The rotating brush is easy to remove for detangling hair. Use scissors or the provided cleaning tool to cut and remove tangled hair.
- Inspect the side brushes for wear or damage. Replace them with the extra side brush provided if necessary.
