How your robot works

What your robot cleans

This robot is equipped with features that make it a suitable cleaner to help 

you clean the floors in your home.

The robot is especially suitable for cleaning hard floors, such as wooden, 

tiled or linoleum floors. It may experience problems cleaning soft floors, 

such as carpet or rugs. If you use the robot on a carpet or rug, please stay 

close by the first time to see if the robot can deal with this type of floor. 

The robot also needs supervision when you use it on black and shiny  

hard floors.

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 work dirt loose from the floor.

ENGLISH

7

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

through the suction opening into the dust container.

 - The robot comes with a dry wipe holder that allows you to clean your 

hard floor even more thoroughly with dry wipes.

Cleaning patterns

In its auto cleaning mode, the robot uses an automatic sequence of 

cleaning patterns to clean each area of the room optimally. The cleaning 

patterns it uses are:

1  Z-pattern or zigzag pattern

2  Random pattern

3  Wall-following pattern

4  Spiral pattern

During auto cleaning, the robot uses these patterns in a fixed sequence:

1 Z-pattern

2  Random pattern

3  Wall-following pattern

4  Spiral pattern

 - When the robot has completed this sequence of patterns, it starts 

moving in Z-pattern again. The robot continues to use this sequence  

of patterns to clean the room until the rechargeable battery is empty, 

or until it is switched off manually.

 - If the robot detects a particularly dirty area during its cleaning run,  

it switches to spiral mode and to turbo fan speed to ensure thorough 

dirt removal.

Note: You can also select each mode individually by pressing the appropriate 

button on the remote control or pointer (FC8820 only). For more details,  

see chapter ‘Using your robot’, section ‘Cleaning modes’.

ENGLISH

How your robot avoids height differences

 - The robot has three 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.

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.

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

shaft until you hear them lock into position with a click.
