5.2 Initial Charge
Connect the power adapter to the charging dock and plug it into a wall outlet. Place the robot onto the charging dock. For first-time use, charge the robot for at least 6 hours to ensure the battery is fully conditioned.
5.3 Installing Side Brushes
Flip the robot over. Align the side brushes with the corresponding posts (L and R) on the bottom of the robot and press them down until they click into place.
5.4 App Download and Connection
Download the "ILIFEVAC" app from your smartphone's app store. Follow the in-app instructions to connect your robot to your home Wi-Fi network. This will enable advanced features like remote control, scheduling, and map management.
6. Operating
6.1 Starting a Cleaning Cycle
Press the power button on the robot or use the "Clean" button in the ILIFEVAC app to start an automatic cleaning cycle. The robot will use its LiDAR navigation to map and clean your home efficiently.
6.2 Cleaning Modes
The ILIFE A11 offers several cleaning modes, selectable via the app:
- Auto Mode: The robot intelligently cleans the entire area.
- Spot Mode: Cleans a specific concentrated area with increased intensity.
- Edge Mode: The robot cleans along walls and furniture edges.
- Max Mode: Provides maximum suction power for deep cleaning.
6.3 Using the Mopping Function
To use the mopping function, ensure the 2-in-1 dustbin and water tank is filled with water and the mop cloth is attached. Select the mopping option in the app. The robot will follow a Y-shaped cleaning path to simulate hand mopping.
