Setup

1. Charging Base Placement

  • Place the charging base against a wall in an open area, ensuring at least 1 meter of clear space on both sides and 2 meters in front.
  • Connect the power adapter to the charging base and plug it into a power outlet.

2. Initial Charging

Place the robot on the charging base. Ensure the charging contacts on the robot align with those on the base. The indicator light will show charging status. Fully charge the robot before its first use, which may take several hours.

3. Brush Installation

  • Side Brushes: Snap the left (L) and right (R) side brushes into their corresponding slots on the bottom of the robot.
  • Multi-function Brush: Ensure the central multi-function brush is correctly installed in its compartment.

4. Water Tank and Mop Installation

  • Open the mixed tank and fill the water compartment with clean water. For optimal mopping, a small amount of anti-limescale solution can be added to prevent blockages, especially in hard water areas.
  • Attach a clean mop cloth to the bottom of the mixed tank.
  • Insert the mixed tank back into the robot until it clicks into place.

5. App Connection

Download the Cecotec app from your smartphone's app store. Follow the in-app instructions to add your device. To put the robot in pairing mode, press and hold BOTH the power button and the home button simultaneously until the lights flash rapidly. This indicates it is ready to connect to your Wi-Fi network via the app.

4. Room Plan and Total Surface Technology

The iTech Laser Eye technology allows the robot to map your home and plan efficient cleaning routes. With Room Plan, you can define specific areas to clean or restrict. The Total Surface technology ensures the robot returns to its charging base when battery is low, recharges, and resumes cleaning from where it left off.
