In addition to the notes in the operating instructions, the general safety regulations and accident prevention guidelines applicable by law must be adhered to.

The laser radar of the device complies with IEC 60825-1:2014 for Class 1 laser product safety and does not produce laser radiation that is hazardous to the human body.

The device consists of two units, a charging station and a battery-powered cleaning robot.

• The device is intended for fully automatic cleaning of textile and hard floor coverings indoors. It can be used for autonomous, continuous maintenance cleaning on all common floor coverings.

• This device has been developed for use in private households and is not intended for the load imposed by commercial use.

The packing materials can be recycled. Do not dispose of packaging as household rubbish but place it in recycling.

Old devices contain valuable, recyclable materials that should be recycled. Batteries and battery packs contain substances which should not be released into the environment. Therefore, please dispose of old devices, batteries and battery packs using suitable collection systems.

The scope of delivery for the appliance is shown on the packaging. Check the contents for completeness when unpacking. If any accessories are missing or in the event of any shipping damage, please notify your dealer.

The device consists of a charging station and a battery-powered cleaning robot.

The mobile cleaning robot obtains its energy from a built-in rechargeable battery. The cleaning robot can clean for up to 120 minutes with a single battery charge. It automatically returns to the charging station to recharge when the battery charge decreases.

The cleaning robot moves systematically. It scans the room with a 3-D laser sensor with camera (LiDAR) and then cleans the room step-by-step. It avoids obstacles that are at least as high as the LiDAR tower.

Artificial intelligence helps the cleaning robot to avoid complex obstacles such as cables or shoes without interference.

Due to the calculation of the intelligent driving strategy by the artificial intelligence and the subsequent obstacle avoidance, it can take a few seconds, depending on the obstacle situation, until the robot resumes its regular travel path to clean the free area in straight paths.

The flat design of the cleaning robot allows it to clean under furniture such as beds, sofas and cupboards.

The ultrasound sensor detects carpets and avoids them during wet cleaning or combination cleaning. For dry cleaning only, the unit increases its suction performance on carpets (auto-boost).

Fall sensors that detect stairs and landings prevent falls.

Collision sensors detect obstacles and avoid them.

The battery for the cleaning robot is charged in the charging station.

If the cleaning robot starts the cleaning work from the charging station, it returns to the charging station when the battery charge is insufficient.

As soon as the charging process is finished, the cleaning robot automatically leaves the charging station and continues the cleaning work. The cleaning robot also returns to the charging station when it has finished cleaning.

The cleaning robot automatically switches to sleep mode after 5 minutes of inactivity. Press any button to wake it up.

• The cleaning robot does not switch to sleep mode when it is on the charging station.

• The cleaning robot switches off automatically if it is in sleep mode for more than 6 hours

If the cleaning robot encounters an error during operation, the display flashes red and a signal sounds.

For a solution, see chapter Troubleshooting guide.

If no action is taken within 5 minutes, the cleaning robot automatically switches to sleep mode.

The "Do not disturb" mode is set by default. In "Do not disturb" mode, the cleaning robot does not resume an interrupted cleaning, does not perform scheduled cleaning and does not give audible warnings.

"Do not disturb" mode can be deactivated in the App. Downloading the App is described in the chapter Connecting cleaning robots with WLAN and App.

• Select the location so that the cleaning robot can easily reach the charging station.

• Ensure a distance of at least 0.5 m to the left and right of the charging station and a distance of at least 1.5 m in front of the charging station.

• The location must not be exposed to direct sunlight.

1. Set up the charging station.

3. As soon as the display lights up, place the cleaning robot manually on the charging station and make sure that the charging contacts have a good contact.

After the initial start-up, the cleaning robot automatically moves to the charging station.

The cleaning robot can be controlled directly via buttons on the device or via an App using a WLAN-enabled mobile device. To be able to use all available functions we recommended controlling the cleaning robot via the Kärcher Home Robots App.

Before you download the App, make sure you have the following:

• The mobile device is connected to the Internet.
