Philips FC8715/01 [11/122] English

Cleaning mode selection

Cleaning mode selection is only possible with the remote control (FC8715, FC8710, FC8705). Next to

the auto-cleaning mode, this robot has four individual cleaning modes that can each be activated by

pressing the appropriate button on the remote control.

Z-pattern mode

In Z-pattern mode, the robot cleans by making Z-shaped loops through the room to clean large areas

(Fig. 27).

Random mode

In this mode, the robot cleans the room in a mixed pattern of straight and crisscross movements (Fig.

28).

Wall-following mode

In this mode, the robot follows the walls of the room to give the area alongside the walls an extra

clean (Fig. 29).

Spot-cleaning mode

In this mode, the robot moves randomly on a small area to clean this area thoroughly (Fig. 30).

Note: The manually selected modes are only active for a couple of minutes. After that, the robot

switches to auto-cleaning mode.

Manual driving

You can drive the robot manually with buttons on the remote control (FC8715, FC8710, FC8705).

1 Use the arrow buttons above and below and to the left and right of the start/stop button on the

remote control to navigate the robot through the room (Fig. 31).

Note: Be careful when you drive the robot manually close to height differences and staircases.

Note: The vacuuming function and the side brushes only work when the robot is driven forward.

The left, right or back buttons are only for maneuvering the robot.

Using the cleaning time button on the remote control

FC8715, FC8710, FC8700: Press the cleaning time button on the remote control to make the robot

clean for 35 minutes. When the cleaning time is finished, the robot stops (Fig. 32).

Cleaning and maintenance

Emptying and cleaning the dust container

Empty and clean the dust container when the dust container full indicator lights up continuously.

1 Remove the cover (Fig. 33).

2 Pull up the handle of the dust container lid and lift the dust container out of the dust container

compartment (Fig. 34).

Note: When you remove or reinsert the dust container, take care not to damage the blades of the

motor fan.
