FAQ

Measure the no-cross line you would like to set up as a boundary and cut off the necessary length of the strip. If you need to enclose an object, you can cut off several pieces of the strip. Place the strip flat on the floor.
Do not vacuum wet surfaces, any type of liquids, hot substances (embers, cigarettes), super fine substances (plaster, cement, ash, etc.), large sharp waste (glass), harmful products (solvents, abrasives, etc.), aggressive products (acids, cleaning products, etc.), inflammable and explosive products (oil or alcohol based).
Place the charging base station against a wall, on a flat surface and where the robot vacuum cleaner can easily find it.
This location must be free of any obstacles (including rugs). Leave at least 1,5 metre of space free to the left and the right, and 2 metres at the front of the base station. If the station is placed in a corner or difficult to find, the robot vacuum cleaner will not be able to reach it.
Place the base station's power cable along the wall.
For more information, refer to the instructions in your user manual.
Leave the charging base station plugged in permanently (the automatic recharge function will not be available if the charging station is not activated).
Yes, your robot vacuum cleaner is equipped with drop sensors that detect stairs and gaps.
However, in some situations, the sensors are not as efficient. For example, curved staircase edges, rugs next to stairs, slippery surfaces and obstructions might affect the sensors' performance.
Before running the robot vacuum cleaner ensure space has no obstacles, power cords, clothing, or other potentially dangerous objects which might cause the appliance breakdown or other accidents.
Yes, the robot can be charged on the charging station, even when the robot's main power switch is turned off.
Check that the switch underneath the robot is correctly in the 'ON' position.
Empty the dust container into a bin after each use. Clean the dust compartment seals with a cloth.
It is recommended to clean the central brush once a week.
For more details, please refer to the User Manual.
It is recommended to clean the filters at least once a week.
For more details, please refer to the User Manual.
It is necessary to clean left, right and front wheels regularly to remove entangled hair and threads.
It is recommended to wipe sensors and charging terminals (of the robot and charging base) with a clean dry cloth once a week.
Turn off the robot before cleaning the sensors and charging terminals.
Do not use any cleaning products to clean the robot vacuum cleaner.
For some parts you can use the water, for the others you can use the dry cloth only. For more details, refer to the instruction manual.
It is recommended to replace the fine dust and foam filter every 6 months.
The side brushes should be replaced by new every 6 months.

Check:
• If the dust container is full.
• The cleanliness of the filters.
• If there is an object or rubbish which may be obstructing the suction hole underneath the robot.
Several possible reasons exist:
• If the robot did not start from its docking station, it will not return to it. In this case, the robot will return to its starting point.
• If the robot vacuumed in Spot mode, the robot will return to its starting point.
• If the robot is lifted up and put back down on the floor, it will try to relocate itself. If it can't, it will return to its starting point.
Check the following:
• The charging station must not be installed on a rug.
• The charging station must not be exposed to sunlight or near a heat source.
• The free space to the side and the front of the charging station adheres to the instructions in the user manual.
• The plug is correctly connected to the charging station.
• The charger cable is connected to the power supply.
• There are no obstructing objects around the charging base.
• There are no objects near the charging station terminals.
• The charging station is activated (LED indicator is green).

If after checking these elements, the robot still cannot find the base station, contact an approved vacuum repair company.
You can perform the following actions:
• Turn off and then turn on the main power switch.
• Unplug the cable and plug it again into the charging station.
• Make sure that the charging terminals and the sensor windows are not clogged up, then wipe the main body and the charging station with a dry cloth. Do not forget to switch off the main power switch and to turn off the robot before drying carefully.
• Check if there is no obstacle such as a reflective object, a chair, etc. near the charging station.

If after these steps, the automatic charging still does not work well, contact an approved vacuum repair company.
This is a regular case. The vacuum cleaner can remain connected to the docking station without any risk.
Caution: use only designated charger.
Check the following:
• If the switch underneath the robot is correctly in the 'ON' position.
• If the display is lit up. If not, charge up the robot on the base station.
Check the following:
• There are no obstucting objects under the wheels.
• The robot is not blocked due to differences in the floor level.
• There is no error message displayed. (see the troubleshooting and error codes section in your user manual)
You can perform the following actions:
• Make sure there are no obstructing objects within 10 cm of the staircases/gaps.
• Wipe up the sensor windows with a dry cloth.

If after these steps, the problem persists, please contact an approved vacuum repair company.
Make sure that the brush is not obstructed. Clean the brush from entangled hair and threads.
If the brush is damaged, replace it with a new one.
Flashing light and sound signal indicates an error.
For more details about the error description and solution, refer to User Manual.
You can perform the following actions:
• Check if the intake channel is not obstructed.
• Check if the dust bin is well fitted.
• Empty the dust bin if it is full.
• Remove the central brush and clean it.
• Check if the filter is not saturated.

If after these steps, the problem persists, please contact an approved vacuum repair company.
The power-brush safety feature is activated when the robot identifies a risk.

Two situations may occur:
• The power-brush gets stuck: the robot attempts to free it and stops the vacuuming and the power-brush.
• The robot will try to free the brush: if it can't, it will turn off and you will have to clear it manually.

If the power-brush gets stuck in thick carpeting due to its long and/or thick fibers, or the robot has vacuumed the carpet for a long time, the power-brush will stop turning and the robot will continue vacuuming without it.
The robot may experience certain problems represented by error codes.
For more details about the error codes description and solution, refer to User Manual.
The filter may be inserted incorrectly. Try positioning the filter correctly into the slot on its holder.
After following the instructions in the user manual for starting the appliance, make sure that your electrical socket is working by plugging another appliance. If it still does not work, do not try to dismantle or repair the appliance yourself, instead, take it to an approved repair centre
