4.3 Attaching Cleaning Cloths
Attach the clean microfiber cloths to the cleaning pads on the underside of the robot. Ensure they are securely fastened and cover the entire cleaning surface.
4.4 Filling the Water Tank
Locate the water tank inlet on the robot. Carefully fill the 30ml water tank with clean water or a recommended window cleaning solution (not included). Do not overfill. The ultrasonic spray function requires water for effective cleaning.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Preparing the Surface
Ensure the glass surface is free from large debris or loose particles that could scratch the glass or interfere with the robot's movement.
5.2 Placing the Robot
With the power connected and the safety rope secured, place the robot onto the glass surface. Press the power button on the robot or the remote control. The robot will activate its suction motor and adhere to the surface.
5.3 Starting Cleaning
The LIECTROUX HCR-10 offers three automatic cleaning modes and can be controlled via the remote control.
- Automatic Cleaning Modes: The robot uses intelligent AI technology to detect window frames and obstacles, planning an optimal cleaning path. You can select from different automatic patterns (e.g., up-down, left-right, right-left) using the remote control.
- Manual Control: Use the directional buttons on the remote control to guide the robot manually for spot cleaning or specific areas.
- Ultrasonic Water Spray: The robot will automatically spray water during the cleaning cycle to soften dirt and stains. This feature can also be activated manually via the remote control if available.
