6.2 Using the ILIFEClean App

The ILIFEClean app provides comprehensive control over your ILIFE A12 Pro.

• No-Go Zones & Virtual Walls: Define specific areas where the robot should not clean (No-Go Zones) or areas it should not enter (Virtual Walls). This is useful for protecting delicate items or preventing access to certain rooms.
• No-Mop Zones: Designate areas where the robot should vacuum but not mop, such as carpeted areas.
• Room Selection & Zone Cleaning: Select specific rooms or draw custom zones on the map for targeted cleaning.
• Schedule Cleaning: Set up daily or weekly cleaning schedules for automated cleaning tasks.
• Adjust Suction & Water Levels: Customize the cleaning intensity by choosing from 4 suction levels and 3 water levels to suit different floor types and cleaning needs.
