Installation
Replacing the dirt receptacle cover
Before the cleaning robot can be used with the suction
station, the dirt receptacle cover on the underside of the
robot must be replaced.
Then insert the new dust container supplied, which con-
tains the suction openings. The old dirt receptacle can-
not be emptied by the suction station because it does
not have the required openings.
CAUTION

Pushing out the plate with a tool (screwdriver, etc.) can
cause injuries or damage the device.
Do not use a tool to push out the cover.
1. Press any button. 
The cleaning robot stops.
2. Remove the dust container (see RCV 5 operating in-
structions).
ATTENTION

To prevent damage, do not place the device directly up-
side down. Use the cardboard insert of the cleaning ro-
bot packaging.

the cardboard insert of the cleaning robot.
