Emptying and cleaning the dust container

The robot works dirt and dust loose from the oor with its side brushes and collects this dirt and

dust in the dust container. For the best results, we advise you to empty and clean the dust container

after each use.

1 Make sure the on/off switch is in ‘off’ position.

Then slide the cover off the robot (Fig. 19).

4 Take the dust container out of the dust container compartment (Fig. 20).

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

fan.

Cleaning the suction opening, the wheels and the drop-off sensors

After some time, dust and uff can accumulate around the suction opening, the wheels and the

drop-off sensors in the bottom of the robot. To maintain good cleaning performance, you have to

clean the suction opening, the wheels and the drop-off sensors from time to time.

1 Make sure the on/off switch is in ‘off’ position.

Note: It is important that you clean the drop-off sensors regularly. If the drop-off sensors are dirty, the

robot may fail to detect height differences.
