Cleaning a single room
Illustration
 Set up the station in the room to be cleaned, e.g. as
shown in the illustration.
Note: The appliance can be adjusted to changing
room sizes by means of selecting the cleaning du-
ration (see Chapter "Selecting the Cleaning Dura-
tion").
Cleaning a complete floor
Illustration
 Select the site to set up the station so that the
cleaning robot is able to reach several rooms.
Note: Adjust the required cleaning duration (see
Chapter "Select cleaning duration").
Caution:
For galleries and steps, the interior corners must be pro-
tected, in case the drive-through height under the railing
is higher than 10 cm.
Note: The cleaning robot normally passes thresholds
between rooms between 2 cm and 8 cm down but not
up.
Operation
Preparation for cleaning
Caution:
Prior to using the cleaning robot, please make sure that
there are no obstacles, such as on steps or thresholds.
Obstacles can be, for example:
– Newspapers, books, magazines, paper
– Clothes, toys, CDs
– Plastic bags
– Bottles, glasses
– Curtains hanging down on the floor
– Bathroom mats
The following objects are, for example, not consid-
ered obstacles:
– Single cables in the room
– Thresholds up to 1 cm high
– Carpet fringes that are shorter than 10 cm
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.
 If you store the appliance for more than 4 months,
please make sure that the batteries are charged
completely.
 If you let the cleaning robot work while you are on
the phone or watching TV, activate the "Quiet
mode" on the station.
 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.
 If you want to move the cleaning robot to another
place, it is recommended to turn off the robot when
it is placed in the station for charging (after the
evacuation of the dirt receptacle).
In order to become more familiar with the RoboCleaner,
we recommend reading the Chapter "
Frequently asked questions and answers
" at the end of these instructions.

Operation after a long rest period or after a depleted
battery
If the cleaning robot is turned on with completely empty
batteries, the appliance is not operative. Perform the fol-
lowing steps to put the appliance into operation:
Illustration
 Place the cleaning robot near the station, and press
the battery contacts of the robot against the battery
contacts of the station for approximately
60 seconds. This will evacuate the dirt receptacle.
 Place the cleaning robot at a distance of 50 cm in
front of the station, and turn it on.
Note: The cleaning robot autonomously goes to the
station and is charged. The charge will take about
60 minutes.
