5. Key Features
5.1 Flooring Identification
The robot intelligently identifies different floor types, adjusting mop downward force and humidity to prevent damage and optimize cleaning performance across various surfaces.
5.2 DirtSense™ Technology
This feature allows the robot to detect how dirty the mop pads are. It then sanitizes them with high-speed spinning and a precise mixture of water and cleaning solution, ensuring thorough cleaning without guesswork.

5.3 Smart EdgeSwing™
The Corner-Traps technology periodically activates a "Smart Swing" motion, allowing the robot to effectively clean dust and debris from corners and along baseboards.

5.4 Auto Feed
The base station automatically dispenses the correct ratio of NARWAL exclusive formulated floor cleaner and water to rinse and sanitize the mop pads, minimizing manual intervention.
5.5 Arcuate-Route
Narwal's unique route planning algorithm ensures that the robot vacuums and mops multiple times over overlapping areas in every cleaning mode, leading to a more thorough and consistent clean.
5.6 Advanced Carpet Detection and Cleaning
When encountering carpets, the robot automatically lifts its mop pads, boosts suction power, and lifts the main brush to prevent wetting and ensure effective vacuuming.

5.8 Child Lock
A child lock feature is available to prevent accidental operation by children, ensuring safety and uninterrupted cleaning cycles.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your NARWAL Robot:
- Mop Pad Cleaning: The base station automatically cleans and heat-dries the mop pads after each cleaning cycle. Periodically inspect and replace mop pads as needed.
- Water Tank Management: Empty the dirty water tank regularly to prevent odors and maintain hygiene. Refill the clean water tank as prompted by the base station.
- Dust Container: The robot's internal dust container should be emptied periodically, depending on usage and debris accumulation.
- Brushes: Inspect the main brush and side brushes for tangled hair or debris. Clean them as necessary to ensure effective vacuuming.

7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your NARWAL Robot, refer to the following common solutions:
- Connectivity Issues: Ensure your Wi-Fi network is stable and the robot is within range. Try restarting both the robot and your router.
- Navigation Problems: Clear any obstacles from the robot's path. If the robot struggles with certain areas (e.g., thick rugs, tight spaces), consider setting up no-go zones or virtual walls via the app (if applicable) or manually adjusting the environment.
- Cleaning Inefficiency: Check and clean the mop pads, dustbin, and brushes. Ensure water tanks are properly filled and emptied.
- Error Messages: Consult the LCD display for specific error codes and refer to the Help Center section on the base station for detailed explanations and solutions.
