3. Operating Instructions
3.1. Vacuuming
The robot offers powerful suction for effective vacuuming on both carpets and hard floors. Utilize the SharkClean app to initiate cleaning cycles, set schedules, and define specific cleaning zones.
- Matrix Clean: This feature allows the robot to clean from multiple angles using a precision grid, ensuring thorough coverage and preventing missed spots.
- CleanEdge Detect: For edges and corners, the robot uses blasts of air and corner recognition to dislodge debris, pulling it into the cleaning path for enhanced edge cleaning.
- Pet Hair: The powerful suction and self-cleaning brushroll are designed to effectively pick up pet hair from all surfaces.
