Cleaning modes This robot includes different modes and different functions that can be activated from the App.

Auto mode Press the power button for the robot to start Auto cleaning mode. The robot will clean the whole surface, edges, around objects such as tables, chairs etc. Once it starts running out of battery, it will return to the charging base.

Fig. 23 Diagram representing the robot performing Auto mode cleaning.

Thorough Scrubbing mode Attach the mop cloth to the water tank and fill the tank with water. Take the dust tank out. Install the water tank in the robot and turn it on.

Fig. 24 Diagram showing the setup for Thorough Scrubbing mode, including attaching the mop cloth to the water tank.

Use the App to select the desired scrubbing power level: High, Medium or Low. Once the scrubbing mode is selected, the device will perform the function "All in One" to vacuum, mop, scrub and sweep at the same time thanks to its mixed tank.

Note: If you want to sweep the floor, skip the water-filling step.

To ensure perfect scrubbing from the start, it is suggested to dampen the mop cloth evenly with water before use.

Spiral mode The robot will carry out an intense cleaning of a specific area when this mode is activated. The robot will start cleaning at a specific point and will move outwards performing spiral movements (1 meter). Then, it will return to the starting point in spiral movements again. Before operating the robot under Spiral cleaning mode, place it on the spot to be cleaned. Press the spiral cleaning button on the App.

Fig. 25 Diagram illustrating the Spiral cleaning mode pattern.

Edge mode When this mode is selected, the robot will clean along walls and around furniture (table or chair legs, for example). Press the edge cleaning button on the App.

Fig. 26 Diagram showing the robot cleaning along walls and furniture edges in Edge mode.

Room mode The robot will carry out a cleaning cycle under Auto mode and then will return to the starting point. Press the room cleaning button on the App display.

Fig. 27 Diagram representing the robot performing Room mode cleaning. To ensure an efficient cleaning of the room, close the door.

Suction power level function Select the desired robot's suction power during the cleaning process. There are 3 suction power levels: Turbo, Normal and Eco. The power level function can also be turned off if you wish to use the Wet & dry tank for scrubbing only.

Fig. 28 Icons representing suction power levels: Eco, Normal, Turbo.

Scrubbing intensity levels function Select the desired water intensity level during the scrubbing process. There are 3 water levels: High, Medium or Low. The scrubbing intensity function can also be turned off if you wish to use the Wet & dry tank for sweeping only.

Random mode The robot will start cleaning randomly and will return to the charging base smartly when it runs out of battery. The robot will not create maps under this mode. This mode can be activated from the App.

Manual mode The robot can be moved manually using the direction buttons on the App.

Cleaning scheduling This robot includes schedule settings in order for you to customise the cleaning cycles. The robot can be scheduled through the App.

4. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

In order to lengthen your robot's shelf life and to allow your robot to operate at peak performance, carry out the following procedures periodically.

Empty the robot's dust tank. Press the dust tank's release button.

Fig. 29 Diagram showing how to press the dust tank release button.

Open the dust tank and empty it.

Fig. 30 Diagram showing the dust tank being opened and emptied.

Cleaning of the robot's filter Remove the filter. Carefully shake off all dust from the filter.

Fig. 31 Diagram illustrating the cleaning of the robot's filter.

Cleaning of the free-fall sensors Use a clean, dry and soft cloth to wipe off any dust from the free-fall sensor located on the right side of the robot's bottom part. Warning: Do not spray cleaning products directly on the sensor.

Fig. 32 Diagram showing how to clean the free-fall sensors with a cloth.

Cleaning of the main brush Slightly press the main brush frame's tabs in order to open the main brush storage gap and to remove it.

Fig. 33 Diagram showing how to press the tabs to open the main brush compartment.

Remove any hair, fluffs or dust collected in the brush and around the axes.

Reinstall the main brush and its frame.

Fig. 36 Diagram showing the reinstallation of the main brush and its frame.

High-efficiency filter The high-efficiency filter is designed with fibres that help trapping dust particles, dust mites, pollen... It is very important to clean periodically the filter, to avoid these particles from building up in the filter, causing efficiency loss. It is convenient to carry out this maintenance once a week. It is suggested to replace the filter by a new one after a maximum of 160 hours of use. Recommendations: Dirt can be removed with a small brush or by shaking it carefully against a hard surface for dust to fall off. The high-efficiency filter cannot be washed.

Mesh primary filter and sponge filter The filtering system is featured with a mesh primary filter and a sponge filter. It is suggested to replace them either after a maximum of 160 hours of use or when they are worn out due to operation. Recommendations: Dirt can be removed with a small brush or by shaking it carefully against a hard surface for dust to fall off. You can also use warm water without detergents to obtain better results. Always make sure they are completely dry before installing them again.

Side brushes Side brushes are designed with multiple bristles and are used to push dirt towards the suction nozzle and to clean thoroughly edges and corners. These brushes can wear out over time, affecting negatively to the cleaning efficiency. For this reason, it is suggested to replace each side brush after a maximum of 220 hours. Recommendations: It is recommended to clean the side brushes once a week with the help of the cleaning brush.

Main brush The main brush is designed with bristles and silicone, spins at top speed and helps introducing dirt into the suction nozzle. This brush is in contact with the floor, and therefore with dirt, so it can be worn out over time, affecting negatively to the cleaning efficiency. For this reason, it is suggested to replace each side brush after a maximum of 320 hours. Recommendations: It is recommended to clean the main brush once a week with the help of the cleaning brush.

Sensors Cleaning robot vacuum cleaners have different types of sensors, for example, proximity sensors that allow the robot to move around while detecting obstacles or free-fall sensors that help the robot to detect slopes or possible gaps/unevenness such as stairs. These sensors are always in contact with dust particles, and therefore, can be blocked over time, causing possible navigation errors. It is suggested to clean all the robot's sensors with the cleaning brush or with a dry cloth after a maximum of 35 hours of operation.

Battery charge and replacement To lengthen the battery's service life, keep the robot charging on the charging base when not in use. If the robot is not going to be used for a long time, remove the battery from the product and store it in a dry and safe place. To replace the battery, follow the instructions below: Unscrew the 2 screws on the battery compartment, remove the battery cover and the battery.
