Solution
Charge the rechargeable battery
(see chapter 'Preparing for use').
The robot does not work on mains power.
It only works on its rechargeable battery.
Therefore, always disconnect the adapter from
the robot and the mains before use.
Set the power switch to 'off '. Remove the fluff,
hair, thread or wire that is caught around the
wheel suspension.
Clean the side brushes (see chapter 'Cleaning and
maintenance').
When the top cover is not present or is not
closed properly, the robot does not work. Place
the top cover on the robot properly.
Press the on/off button. Lift the robot so that its
bumper comes free. Place the robot at some
distance from the obstacle and press the on/off
button to make it resume cleaning.
Press the on/off button. Place the robot on the
floor. Then press the on/off button to make the
robot resume cleaning.
Soak the brush or brushes in warm water for a
while. If this does not restore the bristles to their
proper shape, replace the side brushes
(see chapter 'Replacement').
Clean the filter in the dust container with a cloth
or a toothbrush with soft bristles.
If brushing does not help to clean the filter,
replace the filter with a new one. We advise you
to replace the filter at least once a year.
Clean the suction opening (see chapter 'Cleaning
and maintenance').
