Tips and Tricks
 Observe the cleaning robot during the initial clean-
ing process. Obstacles in the room that cannot be
overcome by the appliance, should be removed
ahead of time. This will avoid undesired interrup-
tions.
 Clean up the room just like you would if you were
vacuuming prior to using the cleaning robot. Do not
leave loose objects on the floor.
 Tie up cables, strings, and curtains to prevent the
robot from pulling them down.
 All cables etc. have to be removed from the floor
before the cleaning robot is used.
 Take care to ensure that the battery is fully charged
and remove the battery when storing the device for
longer than 4 months.
 When cleaning a room, make sure all doors are
closed.
 When cleaning a whole level, make sure that the
cleaning robot will not be able to travel behind
doors.
