Unique Furniture
Bob is designed to maneuver
around furniture of most
shapes and sizes, but he
may find it difficult to clean
under chairs with narrow legs
or around furniture that is too
low for his bumper sensors
to detect. Specialty furniture,
such as desk chairs with
wheels or stools with circular
bases, may also confuse
him momentarily — but don’t
worry, Bob usually finds his
way around with time.
Easy Fix
Use blOck Plus™ to keep Bob away
from areas he finds particularly
challenging. blOck Plus™ emits 2
digital barriers: one from its left side
and one from its front side. You may
use one or both barriers, depending
on your preference.
Quick Start
Getting
Started
Get to Know Bob
Dark-Colored
Carpet
If Bob repeatedly backs up or
displays a trouble message
while cleaning dark carpet,
then you’ll need to deactivate
the edge sensors. To do
so, simply hold down the
CHECKUP button on Bob’s
cover until the 4 bars above
the word “checkup” flash 7
times and remain lit on his
screen. Just remember that
while Bob’s edge sensors
are deactivated, he will not
be able to detect edges or
stairs!
Shag Carpet
Bob’s main brush is not
designed to clean shag carpet
or rugs with long fibers. If you’d
like Bob to clean shag carpet
or long-fibered rugs, you may
remove his main brush and
allow him to vacuum without it.
Inclines
Sometimes Bob will attempt
to drive up angled surfaces,
get stuck for a few minutes,
and then decide to clean
somewhere else. As long as
Bob does not display a trouble
message on his screen, let
him continue cleaning and
find his own way around.
Take note of the areas Bob
finds the most challenging
and, if possible, adjust your
furniture accordingly.
