How your robot works
What your robot cleans
This robot is equipped with features that make it a suitable cleaner to help you clean the floors in your
home.
The robot is especially suitable for cleaning hard floors, such as wooden, tiled or linoleum floors. It
may experience problems cleaning soft floors, such as carpet or rugs. If you use the robot on a carpet
or rug, please stay close by the first time to see if the robot can deal with this type of floor. The robot
also needs supervision when you use it on very dark or shiny hard floors.
How your robot cleans
Cleaning system
The robot has a 3-stage cleaning system to clean your floors efficiently.
1 The two side brushes help the robot clean in corners and along walls. They also help to remove dirt
from the floor and move it towards the suction opening (Fig. 5).
2 The suction power of the robot picks up loose dirt and transports it through the suction opening
into the dust container.
3 The robot comes with a dry wipe holder that allows you to clean your hard floor even more
thoroughly with dry wipes.
Cleaning patterns
In its auto cleaning mode, the robot uses a fixed and automatic sequence of cleaning patterns to
clean each area of the room optimally. It uses a Z-pattern (zigzag pattern), random pattern, wall-
following pattern and spiral pattern successively (Fig. 6). It continues to move in this sequence of
patterns to clean the room until the rechargeable battery runs low, or until it is switched off manually.
If the robot detects a particularly dirty area during its cleaning run, it switches to spiral mode and
switches to turbo fan speed to ensure thorough dirt removal.
Note: You can also select each mode individually by pressing the appropriate button on the remote
control (see 'Cleaning mode selection') or on the robot. The manually selected modes are only active
for a couple of minutes. After that, the robot switches back to auto-cleaning mode.
How your robot avoids height differences
The robot has three drop-off sensors in its bottom. It uses these drop-off sensors to detect and avoid
height differences such as staircases (Fig. 7).
Note: It is normal for the robot to move slightly over the edge of a height difference, as its front drop-
off sensor is located behind the bumper.
