Cleaning and maintenance
Emptying and cleaning the dust container
Empty and clean the dust container when the dust container full indicator lights up solid red.
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.
3 Carefully lift the lid off the dust container (1) and take out the filter (2) (Fig. 35).
4 Shake the dust container over a dustbin to empty it. Clean the filter and the inside of the dust
container with a cloth or a toothbrush with soft bristles. Also clean the suction opening in the
bottom of the dust container (Fig. 36).
Caution: Do not clean the dust container and the filter with water or in the dishwasher.
5 Put the filter back into the dust container (1). Then place the lid on the dust container(2) (Fig. 37).
6 Put the dust container back into the dust container compartment and put the top cover back on
the robot (Fig. 38).
Caution: Always make sure the filter is present inside the dust container. If you use the robot
without the filter inside the dust container, the motor will be damaged.
Cleaning the robot
To maintain good cleaning performance, you have to clean the drop-off sensors, the wheels, the side
brushes and the suction opening from time to time.
1 Place the robot upside down on a flat surface.
2 Use a brush with soft bristles (e.g. a toothbrush) to remove dust or fluff from the drop-off sensors.
(Fig. 39)
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 or staircases.
3 Use a brush with soft bristles (e.g. a toothbrush) to remove dust or fluff from the front wheel and
side wheels (Fig. 40).
4 To clean the side brushes, grab them by the bristles and pull them off their shafts (Fig. 41).
5 Remove fluff, hairs and threads from the shaft and from the side brush with a soft brush (e.g. a
toothbrush) or a cloth (Fig. 42).
6 Clean the suction opening with a soft brush (e.g. a toothbrush) (Fig. 43).
7 Check the side brushes and the bottom of the robot for any sharp objects that could damage your
floor.
