The charging time is between 15 and
60 minutes according to the charging state
of the battery before the charging. In case
of the initial operation, the robot certainly
has the longest charging time.
By default, the robot runs at 20 cm per sec-
ond. If it cleans very dirty spots, the speed
is reduced by half to intensify the cleaning.
The same applies to the final approach to
the station to allow the robot to precisely
manoeuvre in.
The robot can clean up to 15 qm per hour.
Many spots, in particular the frequently
used paths are cleaned repeatedly from dif-
ferent directions.
The robot returns to the station as soon as
the battery voltage has reached a specific
level or if the dirt receptacle is full.
The process takes approximately 30 sec-
onds.
The robot can only be turned on or off. You
can select the cleaning duration at the sta-
tion. In addition, you can specify that the ro-
bot should not leave the station after the
next approach to the station (parking func-
tion).
The robot moves through the room accord-
ing to the random principle. If he bumps into
an obstacle, it turns at any angle and then
goes straight until it bumps into the next ob-
stacle.
The robot is equipped with sensors that de-
tect stairs and prevent the robot from falling
down.
Using a special carpet fringe program the
robot does not get stuck in carpet fringes.
Thanks to the different angles, it also finds
it way out of narrow corners.
It is most efficient to let the robot clean indi-
vidual rooms, i.e. station and robot are lo-
cated within the same room. This reduces
the searching time during the return to the
station, the share of the effective cleaning
time is, therefore, the highest possible.
If you want to clean entire floors, the station
should be placed at a central spot of the
apartment to enable the robot to easily re-
turn to the station.
No, but due to the continuous cleaning, the
formation of dirt is substantially reduced.
Thus, an accumulation of dirt in corners is
effectively avoided.
Stairs : The robot works with optical sen-
sors that detect half-landings and signal the
robot that it must change its direction.
Steps : The robot is able to deal with hard
steps up to 10 mm and soft steps up to
20 mm in both directions.

return to the station?

at the station?
Where is the robot programmed? What
do I have to pay attention to?
According to which principle does the
robot move?
Which tools are present that help the ro-
bot to cope with obstacles?
What is the most efficient way to operate
the robot (individual rooms, entire apart-
ment)?
Are corners cleaned without any prob-
lems (the robot is round)?
What happens at stairs/steps?
Caution:
Do not leave loose objects (e.g.: newspa-
pers, clothing) on stairs or steps, as this
will inhibit the function of the sensors. –
Risk of falling!
