Battery and Charging

• To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
• Do not wipe the charging contacts with wet cloth or wet hands.
• Turn the robot off and use original packaging for shipment.
• If placing the robot into storage, charge it fully and turn it off before placing it in a cool dry place. Recharge it at least every three months to prevent the battery over discharging.
• Do not use the product when the temperature is higher than 40°C (104°F) or lower than 4°C (39°F), or there is any liquid or sticky substance on the floor.

Important Information

1. Tidy cables and loose items from the ground and move any unstable, fragile, precious, or dangerous items to prevent personal injury or property damage due to items becoming tangled in, struck by, or knocked over by the robot.

2. When using the robot in a raised area, always use a secure physical barrier to prevent accidental falls that may result in personal injury or property damage.

Note: When using the robot for the first time, follow it throughout its whole cleaning route and watch for potential problems. The robot will be able to clean by itself in future uses.

B1 Position the charging dock

• B1-1 Take the screwdriver from its storage bin at the bottom of the base.
• B1-2 Place dock upside down on a soft, flat surface (carpet/towel/ cloth) and attach the base by using the six screws provided.

Note: Hold the dustbin cover securely when upside down to prevent damage from falling.

• B1-3 Connect the power cable to the dock, and keep the excess cable inside the storage slot.
• B1-4 Place the dock on a hard and flat floor (wood/tile/concrete etc.), flat against a wall. Keep at least 0.3 m (1 ft) of clearance on either side and 1 m (3 ft) both in front and above. Make sure the location has good WiFi for a better experience with the mobile app, and then plug it in.

B1-4-1 more than 0.3 m (1ft)

B1-4-2 more than 1 m (3ft)

Notes:

• The status indicator light turns off automatically when the robot is charging.
• The status indicator turns red if an error occurs.

• Placing the dock on a soft surface (carpet/mat) may cause the dock to tilt over and cause problems docking and departing.
• Keep excess power cable inside the storage slot so that the robot will not get tangled in the cables, and the dock will not be dragged away or disconnect from the power supply.
• Keep the dock away from direct sunlight or anything that may block the dock location beacon; otherwise, the robot may fail to return to the dock.
• The Auto-Empty Dock recharges and empties. Store the standard robot dock before use. Failure to do so may cause issues returning to dock.
• Maintain the dock according to the maintenance instructions. Do not clean the dock with a wet cloth.

Auto-emptying will begin when the robot returns to the dock after cleaning. Press the button to trigger emptying manually. Press any button to stop emptying.

Notes:

• The status indicator light on the dock turns off automatically when the robot is charging.
• Do not use without dustbin cover or dust bag.
• Place the dock on a flat floor away from fire, heat, and water. Avoid narrow spaces or locations where the robot may be suspended in the air.
• Placing the dock on a soft surface (carpet/mat) may cause the dock to tilt over and cause problems docking and departing.
• Keep the excess power cable inside the storage slot so that the robot will not get tangled in the cables, and the dock will not be dragged away or disconnect from the power supply.
• Keep the dock away from direct sunlight or anything that may block the dock location beacon; otherwise, the robot may fail to return to the dock.

B3 Powering on & Charging

Press and hold the button to power on the robot. Wait until the power light is steady, and then place the robot on the dock to charge. The robot is equipped with high-performance lithium-ion rechargeable battery pack. To maintain battery performance, keep the robot charged during normal use.

Note: The robot may not turn on when the battery is low. In this case, place the robot directly onto the dock to charge.

B4 Using the mopping module

• B4-1 Adjust the water flow: Slide the switch down to increase the water flow and up to decrease the water flow.
• B4-2 Fill the water tank: Remove the water tank stopper, fill it with water, and close it.
• B4-3 Install the mop cloth: Dampen the mop cloth and wring it until it stops dripping. Insert it into the bottom along the attachment slot and stick it firmly in place.
• B4-4 Install the mopping module: Slide the mopping module along the back of the robot as indicated by the arrow. A click indicates that it is locked in place.

Notes:

• To prevent excessive dirt buildup during first-time use, floors should be vacuumed at least three times before mopping.
• If carpets are present, draw No-Go Zones or Invisible Wall to prevent the robot going on them, or roll them up.
• To avoid water tank corrosion, do not use cleaning fluid or disinfectant.
• The mop cloth should be cleaned after 60 minutes of mopping to ensure water flow and cleaning performance.

B5 Remove the mopping module

When the robot returns to the dock after cleaning, press the latches on both sides, and slide the mopping module backwards to remove it.

Notes:
