Battery full and go button
If you press the battery full and go button on the docking station while the robot is charging, the robot
starts cleaning as soon as the rechargeable battery is full (Fig. 26).
24h button
If you press the 24h button on the docking station, the docking station starts to count down the 24
hours until the next cleaning run. When the countdown is finished, the robot starts cleaning until its
battery runs low and then returns to the docking station automatically to recharge (Fig. 27).

Cleaning mode selection

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. 28).
Random mode
In this mode, the robot cleans the room in a mixed pattern of straight and crisscross movements (Fig.
29).
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. 30).
Spot-cleaning mode
In this mode, the robot moves randomly on a small area to clean this area thoroughly (Fig. 31).
Note: The manually selected modes are only active for a couple of minutes. After that, the robot
switches to auto-cleaning mode.

Manual driving

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. 32)
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

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 returns to the docking station to recharge (Fig. 33).

Using the power switch

Setting the power to 'off' position places the robot in deep sleep mode. In this mode, the robot does
not respond anymore.
- If you want to charge the robot, you need to press the power switch to 'on'.
- If the robot goes into deep sleep mode during use, you can reactivate it by setting the power
switch to 'on' and by charging the robot. After a few seconds the robot will respond again
