Using Your RoboVac
Important Tips Before Use
a. Remove power cords and small objects from the floor that may entangle RoboVac. You can use the supplied cable ties to organize your wires and power cords.
b. Fold tasseled edges of area rugs underneath to prevent tangling RoboVac. Avoid cleaning very dark-colored high-pile rugs or rugs thicker than 1.02 in/26 mm as they may cause RoboVac to malfunction.
c. Keep RoboVac away from spaces lower than 2.87 in/73 mm to prevent RoboVac from getting stuck. If necessary, place a physical barrier to block off the problem areas.
d. Keep RoboVac away from wet areas.
e. RoboVac may climb on top of objects less than 0.63 in/16 mm in height. Remove these objects if possible.
f. Anti-drop sensors prevent RoboVac from tumbling down stairs and steep drops. They may work less effectively if dirty or used on reflective/very dark-colored floors.
Tip: Place physical barriers in front of fireplaces and areas that may cause damage to RoboVac if entered.
