Care

WARNING
Be sure to turn off the power and remove the batteries from the robotic
cleaner before caring for the robotic cleaner.
• If a battery is left inserted in the robotic cleaner, electric shock or injury
may result.
CAUTION
• To keep optimum performance, periodically perform the maintenance
mentioned in this section. If there is a problem, stop using the robotic
cleaner and ask the shop from which you made a purchase or our sales
office to do inspection and repair.

Maintenance

Caring for and replacing the dust box and the filter
• When the suction power of the robotic cleaner goes down, when the dirt is
noticeable, or when the filter care lamp lights up, remove the filter and wash it
with water.
• Lay down newspaper or something before caring.
• Do not use chemicals or hot water with a temperature of 40 °C (104 °F) or
more.
1. Dispose of garbage following steps 1 to 5 of "How to dispose of garbage". (See
page 21).
2. Put the dust case back in the dust box and close the top cover of the dust
box.
3. Unhook the hook and open the filter -side top cover.
1. Hook
4. Remove the filter from the dust box.
When removing the filter, do so slowly to avoid raising dust.
5. Let dirt and dust fall with light taps on the filter.
• Do not scrub the filter hard or press it down with fingers.
• Do not use a sharp -pointed object (such as a toothpick), which can be a
cause of breakage.
6. When the suction power of the robotic cleaner is weak, wash the filter with
water.
If the smell bothers you, let the filter stand in diluted neutral detergent for
about three hours and then wash it with water.
7. When the dirt of the dust box is noticeable, wash it with water or diluted
neutral detergent.
8. When you have washed the filter or the dust box with water, dry it sufficiently
in a well -ventilated place out of direct sunlight.
• Using parts without drying them properly may cause a reduction in suction

power, as well as a reduction in motor life.
• Using parts while moisture remains on them may cause an odor or failure.
• The drying time should be about one day.
• Avoid drying with a dryer, a blower, etc.
9. Attach the filter to the dust box.
Putting dry tissue paper between them results in dirt being less likely to stick to
the filter. Replace the tissue paper with a new one when discarding dust.
10. Close the filter -side top cover and make sure that the hook is hooked. Then, lock
the two locking parts.
