• Keep hair, fingers, and other body parts of humans or pets away from the suction inlet while the robot is operating.
• Do not use the product to sweep burning objects (e.g., cigarette ends).
• Do not use the product on long-haired carpets, as some dark carpets may not be cleaned effectively.
• Prevent the robot from suctioning hard or sharp objects (e.g., decorative materials, glass, iron nails).
• Do not move the machine by holding the protective cover of the laser distance sensor or the collision bumper.
• Clean or maintain the robot and charging base only when the unit is shut down or powered off.
• Do not wipe any part of the product with a wet cloth or any liquid.
• Use the product strictly according to the User Manual. Users are responsible for any damages or injuries caused by improper use.

Installation

1. Connect the power line and place surplus wire rod in the wiring duct.
2. Place the charging base against a wall on flat ground and connect the power. Ensure a space of at least 0.5m on both sides and 1.5m in front of the charging base. If the power line is vertical to the ground, it may be dragged by the robot, potentially powering off the base. The charging indicator is normally on when powered on and off when charging.
3. Do not move the charging base arbitrarily and keep it out of direct sunlight. Relocating the base may cause the robot to lose its map and positioning. Direct sunlight can interfere with the recharging signal.
4. Installation of Side Brush: Match the left side brush (L) with the 'L' marking and the right side brush (R) with the 'R' marking on the bottom casing. Press L and R until you hear a "cracking" sound, indicating they are installed.
5. Start-up and Charge: Long press the power button [ ⏻ ] to start the machine. Charge the robot on the charging base when the indicator light is normally on. If the machine cannot be started due to low battery, charge it on the base; it will start automatically. The machine operates normally when the battery level is 30% or higher.

Start Cleaning

After the machine starts, short press the power button [ ⏻ ] on the robot or use the mobile APP to start cleaning. Press any button to pause during operation.

Notes:

• The robot cannot be used to remove liquids.
• If the battery level is below 20%, the machine will not work; please charge it.
• If the battery level drops below 20% during use, the machine will automatically return to the charging base, power off, and resume cleaning once the battery reaches 80%.
• Clear all wires (including the charging base power line) from the ground before use to prevent entanglement and damage.

Mopping Module

• Installation of Duster Cloth: Paste the duster cloth flatly onto the bottom of the water tank.
• Fill the Water Tank: Uncover the water tank, fill it with water, and cover it.
• Installation of Module: Push the mopping module horizontally along the rear part of the robot until you hear a "cracking" sound.

Removal of Mopping Module

• After the robot shuts down, press the buckles on both sides by hand, move the module backward, and remove it. Empty the water tank and clean the duster cloth. Do not move or turn over the robot while it is in use.

Instructions for Mopping Module

• Do not use the mopping module if it is left unused.
• For safety, remove the mopping module when the robot is charging or left unused.
• Do not mop carpets. Set forbidden areas in the APP to prevent the robot from entering carpeted areas.
• For optimal mopping performance, install the module after the floor has been swept three times.
• To add water or clean the duster cloth during operation, pause the robot and reassemble the mopping module as per steps 8 and 9. Avoid moving or turning over the robot to prevent map positioning loss.
• The mopping function is for wiping and deep cleaning; it cannot effectively remove stubborn stains or replace manual labor.

Operation

The Kogan SmarterHome LX10 is an intelligent planning cleaning robot equipped with high-accuracy radar and various sensors. It uses navigation algorithms for collaboration, real-time room mapping, and efficient cleaning route planning. It features automatic cleaning and charging without manual intervention, boasts an ultra-strong suction capacity of up to 1,800Pa, a high-capacity drawer-type dust box, a washable HEPA filter screen, and a split-type mopping module. It employs an efficient cleaning mode of sweeping first, then mopping. This technology aims to improve daily life and provide a positive user experience.

Button Function

• Sweep/ON & OFF: Short press to start/pause sweeping. Long press for 3 seconds to turn the robot ON/OFF. Long press for 15 seconds for forced shutdown under abnormal circumstances.
• Recharging/Local Cleaning: Short press to initiate recharging or pause. Long press to start local cleaning.

Indicator Light Status:

• Blue: Normal operation or charging.
• Red: Abnormal condition or low battery.
• Purple: Equipment is not connected to the network.

Reset Wi-Fi: Press two buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds.

ON/OFF: Long press the power button [ ⏻ ] for 3 seconds; the indicator light will turn on, and the machine will start. Long press the power button [ ⏻ ] for 3 seconds when the machine is in standby mode; the indicator light will turn off, and the machine will shut down. Note: The machine cannot shut down while charging.

Charging:

• Automatic Mode: The robot will return to the charging base automatically after completing its task.
• Manual Mode: Under suspended state, short press the power button [ ⏻ ] to start recharging. The indicator light will show a breathing mode when the robot is charging.

Note: If the robot fails to locate the charging base, it will return to its original position. Manually place the robot back onto the charging base.

Fixed-Point Cleaning: If specific areas require deep cleaning, you can set a point on the map via the APP. The robot will move to that point and sweep an area of 2mx2m (defaulting to twice, with the number of times adjustable).

Cleaning Mode: After starting, the robot scans and generates a map, intelligently dividing the area. It sweeps areas sequentially along walls in an orderly, efficient manner, planning a bow-shaped cleaning route. The robot returns to the charging base automatically after work.

• Completed area (visual representation of swept zones)
• Area being cleaned (visual representation of current sweeping zone)
• Completed area (visual representation of swept zones)
• Area to be cleaned (visual representation of remaining zones)

Note: Do not move the machine arbitrarily or frequently during use. If moved, place it near its original position and try to relocate it upon restart. Successful relocation allows it to continue its planned route. Unsuccessful relocation will cause it to abandon the task, rebuild the map, and may prevent recharging.

Local Cleaning: If the robot is uncontrollable via APP, manually move it to the required area and long press the power button [ ⏻ ] for 3 seconds. The robot will sweep the floor twice within a 1.8m x 1.8m area.

User-defined Area Cleaning: Set the size and position of one or more areas to be swept using the mobile APP. The robot will sweep according to these settings.

Forbidden Area: Set one or more forbidden areas using the mobile APP. The robot will not sweep these areas but will clean others.

• Note: The robot may enter forbidden areas due to positioning errors or sensor exceptions. Permanently forbidden areas might be invalidated by significant changes in the charging base or furniture placement. Avoid moving or interfering with the robot during use. Forbidden area settings are lost if the map is rebuilt.

Fixed-time Cleaning: Set a cleaning schedule via the mobile APP. The robot will start cleaning automatically at the appointed time and return to the charging base afterward.

Wi-Fi Reset: If the mobile phone cannot connect to the machine due to router configuration changes, password updates, or other reasons, press the power button [ ⏻ ] and the home button [?] simultaneously for 3 seconds. A voice prompt "Wi-Fi has been reset" will be given, and the indicator light will turn purple and flicker slowly.

DND mode: In DND (Do Not Disturb) mode, the robot will neither sweep nor issue voice prompts. You can switch to DND mode via the APP.

Cleaning Mode: Silent, auto, and strength modes can be selected via the mobile APP (auto mode is the default).
