Operating Instructions

Starting a Cleaning Cycle:

• Via App: Open the Philips HomeRun app. Select your desired cleaning mode (Vacuum, Mop, or Vacuum & Mop), suction level, and water flow. You can choose to clean the entire house, specific rooms, or designated zones. Tap "Start" to begin.
• Manual Start: Press the power button on the robot once to start a general cleaning cycle. The robot will automatically return to its charging station when finished or when the battery is low.

Cleaning Modes and Features:

• Vacuuming: The robot uses its powerful 2700 Pa suction to collect dust, dirt, and debris.
• Mopping: Attach a damp mopping pad to the water tank and fill the tank with clean water. The robot will mop hard floors. Do not use cleaning solutions other than water unless specified by Philips.
• Vacuum & Mop: For combined cleaning, the robot vacuums and mops simultaneously. This is ideal for daily maintenance on hard floors.
• Carpet Boost: The robot automatically detects carpets and increases suction power for a deeper clean. Ensure mopping pads are removed or set a "No-Mop Zone" in the app for carpeted areas if using the mopping function.
• LDS Navigation: The 360° Laser Distance Sensor (LDS) creates precise maps of your home, allowing for efficient and systematic cleaning paths.
