• This cleaning robot is designed for fully automatic wet cleaning of hard floors.

• Do not clean water-sensitive floor coverings such as e.g. untreated cork floors, since the moisture can penetrate and damage the floor.

• The device is suitable for cleaning PVC, linoleum, tiled, stone, oiled and waxed parquet, laminate and all water-resistant floor coverings.

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

Only use original accessories and original spare parts. They ensure that the appliance will run fault-free and safely.

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 mobile cleaning robot draws its energy from a built-in rechargeable battery, which it regularly recharges at the charging station provided. With one battery charge, the cleaning robot can clean up to 125 minutes in sensitive mode. It automatically returns to the charging station to recharge when the battery charge is too low.

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

• The cleaning robot has fall sensors that can detect staircases and steps, designed to prevent it from falling.

• The ultrasound sensor detects carpets and avoids them during wet cleaning.

• The cleaning robot has a fresh and a waste water tank as well as a microfibre roller that is regularly moistened with fresh water and continuously cleans itself through its rotation, thereby thoroughly wet mopping the floor. At the same time, light loose dirt such as crumbs, dust fluff etc. can be picked up along with the mopping process. Dirty water is conveyed into the waste water tank via the roller. Particles are collected in the scraper unit with hair comb and partially transported into the waste water tank.

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

It is possible to activate the "Do not disturb" mode. 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. The LED display indicators are switched off.

"Do not disturb" mode can be activated in the App. Downloading the app is described in the chapterConnecting cleaning robots with WLAN and App.

In the app, there is the option to navigate the robot if it gets stuck in an inaccessible place, for example.

This remote control can be selected in the app under "Settings" > "Robot settings".

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

  Note

  Position the charging station on a floor that is not sensitive to water, as the damp roller could affect the floor during charging.

• 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.

2. Peel off the film on the adhesive strip of the cable attachment and attach the cable attachment to the back of the charging station. Place the cable neatly as required.

   ---

   

3. Plug the mains cable device plug into the cable holder on the side of the charging station.

   ---

   

4. Connect the mains plug.

1. Place the cleaning robot manually on the charging station and make sure that the battery terminals have a good contact.

   The cleaning robot switches on automatically and emits an acoustic signal. The LED display indicators light up.

   Note

   During the initial start-up, manual switch-on without contact to the charging station is not possible.

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.

• The 2.4 GHz WLAN of the router is activated.

• Sufficient WLAN coverage is guaranteed.

Download the Kärcher Home Robots App from the Apple App Store^® or from Google Play^™ store.

   ATTENTION

   Overdosing or underdosing of the detergent or care agent

   Can result in poor cleaning results.

   Follow the dosage recommendations for the detergent or care agent.

   Note

   Do not use detergents from other manufacturers, as this may cause heavy foaming on the floor or in the waste water tank of the device.

   In addition, foam may form during the first cleaning runs if there is still residue on the floor from previously used detergents from other manufacturers.

5. Close the tank cap.

6. Insert the fresh water tank into the device, see chapter Inserting the waste and fresh water tank.

• Keep the floor free of objects lying around to ensure efficient cleaning. Obstacles require time-consuming cleaning because the cleaning robot has to drive around objects.

• Open the doors of the rooms that are to be cleaned.

• When operating the cleaning robot with the app: Carry out the configuration in the app so that the cleaning robot can clean according to individual cleaning requirements (no-go zones, different cleaning parameters, etc.), see chapter Settings in the app.

Cleaning can also be started from the cleaning robot without an app. The following commands can be executed using the buttons:

• Start cleaning via the On/Off/Pause button.

• Interrupt cleaning via the On/Off/Pause button.

• Return the cleaning robot manually to the charging station via the Home button.

The cleaning robot automatically returns to the charging station for recharging when it has completed a cleaning task or when it is low on energy during a cleaning process.

The Kärcher Home Robots App offers the following main functions, among others:
