2. Setup Instructions

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Ensure all parts are present: the auto-empty base, power cable, and any included dust bags.
2. Placement: Select a suitable location for the base. It should be placed against a wall, with at least 0.5 meters (1.6 feet) of clear space on either side and 1 meter (3.3 feet) in front to allow the robot vacuum to dock properly. Avoid areas with direct sunlight or strong heat sources.
3. Power Connection: Connect the power cable to the base and then plug it into a standard electrical outlet. Ensure the cable is not obstructed or in a position where it could be tripped over.
4. Dust Bag Installation: Open the top cover of the auto-empty base. Insert a new 2.5-liter dust bag into the designated compartment. Ensure it is securely seated. Close the cover. The base will detect if a bag is present.
5. Robot Compatibility Check: Verify that your Cecotec Conga robot vacuum is from the 8000 or 9000 series. The base is designed for these specific series.
6. Initial Docking: Place your compatible robot vacuum onto the charging contacts of the base. The robot should automatically align and begin charging.

3. Operating Instructions

The Cecotec Conga Home 10000 auto-empty base operates in conjunction with your compatible Conga robot vacuum to provide automated dust disposal and charging.

3.1 Automatic Dust Emptying (SmartClean System)

When your robot vacuum completes a cleaning cycle and returns to the Home 10000 base, the SmartClean system will automatically activate. The base will suction the collected dust and debris from the robot's internal dustbin into the 2.5-liter dust bag located within the base.

• The emptying process typically takes a few seconds.
• The base is designed to detect when the robot's dustbin needs emptying.
• An indicator light or notification (depending on the robot model and app) may confirm the emptying process.

3.2 Automatic Charging (AutoCharge)

Once the robot vacuum is docked, the AutoCharge feature ensures that its battery is automatically recharged. This allows the robot to be ready for its next cleaning cycle without manual intervention.

• Ensure the charging contacts on both the robot and the base are clean for optimal connection.
• The robot's battery status can typically be monitored via its companion mobile application.

4. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the optimal performance and longevity of your Cecotec Conga Home 10000 auto-empty base.

4.1 Dust Bag Replacement

The base uses hygienic 2.5-liter dust bags. When the bag is full, the base will typically alert you (e.g., via an indicator light or app notification). It is crucial to replace the bag promptly to maintain emptying efficiency and hygiene.

1. Open the Top Cover: Gently lift the top cover of the auto-empty base.
2. Remove Full Bag: Carefully pull out the full dust bag from its compartment. The design of the bag helps seal the opening upon removal, preventing dust from escaping.
3. Dispose: Dispose of the full dust bag in a waste bin.
4. Install New Bag: Insert a new 2.5-liter hygienic dust bag into the compartment, ensuring it is fully seated.
5. Close Cover: Close the top cover securely. The base will detect the presence of the new bag.

4.2 Filter Maintenance

The base may contain filters (e.g., HEPA filter as per specifications) to prevent dust from escaping during the emptying process. Refer to your robot vacuum's manual for specific filter cleaning or replacement schedules. Periodically inspect the filters in the base for accumulated dust and clean or replace them as recommended.

4.3 Cleaning the Base

• Wipe the exterior of the base with a soft, dry cloth.
• Ensure the charging contacts are clean and free of dust or debris. Use a dry cloth or cotton swab if necessary.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the base in water.
