Cleaning And Maintenance; Emptying And Cleaning The Dust Container - Philips FC8800 Bedienungsanleitung

Cleaning and maintenance

The plug must be removed from the socket-outlet before cleaning or maintaining the appliance.

Emptying and cleaning the dust container

The robot works dirt and dust loose from the floor with its side brushes and collects this dirt and
dust in the dust container. For the best results, we advise you to empty and clean the dust container
after each use.
1 Make sure the on/off switch is in 'off' position.
2 Put the robot on a flat and stable surface in front of you with the bumper towards you.
3 Press the two ribbed areas on the dust container compartment cover firmly to unlock it.
Then slide the cover off the robot (Fig. 19).
4 Take the dust container out of the dust container compartment (Fig. 20).
Note: When you remove or reinsert the dust container, take care not to damage the blades of the motor
fan.
5 Carefully lift the lid off the dust container and take out the filter (Fig. 21).
6 Shake the dust container over a dustbin to empty it (Fig. 22).
7 If the dust container is dirty, clean it with a brush with soft bristles (e.g. a toothbrush) or a
cloth (Fig. 23).
Caution: Do not clean the dust container and the filter with water or in the dishwasher.
8 If the filter is dirty, clean it with a brush with soft bristles (e.g. a toothbrush) (Fig. 24).
9 Put the filter back into the dust container. Then place the lid on the dust container (Fig. 25).
10 Put the dust container back into the dust container compartment (Fig. 26).
11 Slide the dust container compartment cover back onto the robot until it locks into position.
Caution: Always make sure the filter is present inside the dust container. If you use the robot
without the filter inside the dust container, the motor will be damaged.
Cleaning the suction opening, the wheels and the drop-off sensors
After some time, dust and fluff can accumulate around the suction opening, the wheels and the
drop-off sensors in the bottom of the robot. To maintain good cleaning performance, you have to
clean the suction opening, the wheels and the drop-off sensors from time to time.
1 Make sure the on/off switch is in 'off' position.
2 Place the robot upside down on a flat surface.
3 Use a brush with soft bristles (e.g. a toothbrush) to remove dust or fluff from the suction
opening (Fig. 27).
4 Also use the brush to remove dust or fluff from the front wheel and side wheels.
5 Clean the drop-off sensors with a cotton bud to remove dust and fluff (Fig. 28).
Note: It is important that you clean the drop-off sensors regularly. If the drop-off sensors are dirty, the
robot may fail to detect height differences.
