How your robot cleans

Cleaning system

The robot has a 3-stage cleaning system to clean your floors efficiently.

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. 3).

The suction power of the robot picks up loose dirt and transports it through the suction opening

into the dust container (Fig. 4).

Types FC8796 and FC8794 come with a mopping attachment that can be attached to the robot to

mop your hard floor.

Cleaning patterns

In its auto cleaning mode, the robot uses an automatic sequence of bounce and wall-following

patterns to clean each area of the room optimally. It continues to clean until its battery runs low or

until it is switched off.

You can also select one of the three individual cleaning modes by pressing the appropriate button on

the remote control (see 'Cleaning mode selection'). The robot continues cleaning in the selected

cleaning mode for a few minutes and then returns to auto cleaning mode.

1 Bounce mode (Fig. 5)

2 Wall-following mode (Fig. 6)

3 Spiral mode (Fig. 7)

How your robot avoids height differences

The robot has five drop-off sensors in its bottom. It uses these drop-off sensors to detect and avoid

height differences such as staircases.

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.

Caution: In some cases, the drop-off sensors may not detect a staircase or other height difference

in time. Therefore monitor the robot carefully the first few times you use it, and when you operate it

near a staircase or another height difference. It is important that you clean the drop-off sensors

regularly to ensure the robot continues to detect height differences properly (see 'Cleaning the

robot').

Before first use

Mounting the side brushes

1 Unpack the side brushes and place the robot upside down on a table or on the floor.

2 Push the side brushes onto the shafts on the bottom of the robot (Fig. 8).

Note: Make sure you attach the side brushes properly. Press them onto the shaft until you hear

them lock into position with a click.

Placing the batteries in the remote control

The remote control works on two AAA batteries.

1 Push the tab (1) to unlock the battery compartment lid (2) and remove the battery compartment lid

(Fig. 9).

2 Insert two AAA batteries (Fig. 10).
