● The device can get caught in hanging electric cables,
tablecloths, cords, etc. and knock over objects. ● Pick
up all cables from the floor before using the device to
prevent it from dragging them when cleaning. ● Pick up
any fragile or loose objects from the floor, such as vas-
es, to prevent the device from bumping into them and
causing damage. ● Do not use the device in an area
that is above the floor, e.g. on a sofa. ● Cordon off all ar-
eas where there is a risk of the device falling down.
E.g. stairways or galleries without barriers. ● Do not
use the device on floors with liquids or sticky substanc-
es. ● Do not use the device for cleaning high pile car-
pets. ● Damage to the laser radar (LiDAR). Do not place
the device upside down (the housing of the laser radar
(LiDAR) should never touch the ground or hard surfac-
es). ● Do not carry the device by the cover of the laser
radar (LiDAR). ● Do not pick up sharp or larger objects
with the device, such as e.g. glass shards, gravel or toy
parts. ● Do not spray any liquids into the device and
