There are two options to lock the display of the cleaning robot for unauthorised persons.

Child lock:

The child lock locks the display if the user presses “Up” button and “Down” button simultaneously. To unlock, both buttons must be pressed again.

The childproofing function is also automatically activated when autonomous cleaning has been started or when the cleaning robot has switched to sleep mode when not in use.

The option for switching the child lock on and off can only be selected in the settings menu of the cleaning robot.

When the PIN lock is active, the child lock cannot be used.

PIN lock:

The PIN lock allows the user to set their 4-digit personal security code, which they can use to unlock the cleaning robot.

The PIN lock activates the display when the cleaning robot switches to sleep mode after 5 minutes or when the cleaning robot starts the cleaning process.

When the PIN lock is active, the child lock cannot be used.

The PIN lock can be activated and set in the app. To be able to assign a personal PIN, the initial PIN 9999 must be used.

With the anti-theft function, both the cleaning robot and the battery pack can be protected against theft. This protection can be activated separately in the app.

The anti-theft function can be activated in the app once a PIN has been assigned and the PIN lock is active.

If the battery compartment cover is opened or the cleaning robot is lifted before it has been unlocked via the PIN lock, an alarm in the form of sound and light signals is triggered until the cleaning robot is unlocked using the PIN.

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

Information on accessories and spare parts can be found at www.kaercher.com.

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 replaceable batteries inserted into the device. With two fully charged 36 V battery packs, the cleaning robot can clean up to 210 minutes.

• The cleaning robot moves systematically. It scans the room with a LiDAR sensor and then cleans the room in stages. With additional ToF, ultrasonic and crash sensors, it detects obstacles and crashes early and avoids them. It touches low objects with its safety bumper that it cannot recognise with its sensors and avoids them after touching them.

There are two cleaning modes to choose from. In both modes, the cleaning robot systematically cleans the room by dividing it into segments. A cleaning around the edges of the segment is always carried out first. The cleaning robot then cleans the segment “lanes”.

Basic Modus:

• One-time cleaning that cannot be scheduled.

• Suitable for closed rooms in which the cleaning robot is allowed to move freely.

• The cleaning robot can be operated via the app without any set-up and is ready for use immediately after the initial start-up.

• The cleaning robot does not need to be set up in advance. Cleaning is carried out without a previously established and stored map.

• After cleaning, the cleaning robot returns to the starting point where it began cleaning.

Routine mode:

• Suitable for complex environments that require regular cleaning. To be able to use this mode, a map of the surroundings must be created beforehand. The card is named in the app and should be processed for efficient cleaning.

• To carry out cleaning, an already created map is selected on the cleaning robot. This allows the cleaning robot to plan the segments efficiently from the beginning and to work in an even more productive manner. The map adapted by the user is taken into account by the cleaning robot when planning the segments.

• The cleaning of a selected map can be started by using the display on the cleaning robot or through a scheduled cleaning in the app.

• The cleaning robot must be placed in the starting area (approx. 2 m x 2 m) of the map.

• If the map selected on the cleaning robot does not match the outline of the room to be cleaned where the cleaning robot is located, the localisation fails and the cleaning robot does not start cleaning. A notification appears on the display.

The desired suction strength can be selected on the cleaning robot’s display under “Settings” > “Suction mode” or in the app. The setting applies to the entire map, except for special cleaning zones.

1. Normal mode

2. Eco mode

   • Reduced suction performance and brush speed

   • Energy-saving: resulting in longer run time

   • Reduced volume: thus suitable for noise-sensitive environments, e.g. in corridors in front of conference rooms or hotel rooms

The cleaning robot automatically switches to sleep mode after 5 minutes of inactivity.

The display is switched off, the cloud or app connection and the buttons remain active. In idle mode, the cleaning robot is online for approx. 3 days before the battery packs are empty.

To exit sleep mode, press any operation button.

When light and sound are activated, the cleaning robot emits an acoustic signal and visual signal as soon as an error occurs.

Critical error (red):

• The cleaning robot cannot continue cleaning.

• The cleaning robot emits an acoustic signal and the LED strip flashes red

• A notification is displayed in the app.

Warning notice (orange):

• The cleaning robot emits an acoustic signal and the LED strip flashes orange.

• Cleaning continues. Human assistance may be necessary,e.g. to change the battery packs or empty the dirt receptacle. Once the cleaning robot finishes cleaning or a battery change is necessary beforehand, the robot returns to the starting point of the map.

• A notification is displayed in the app.

1. Check the package contents when unpacking.

2. In case of shipping damage, inform dealer immediately.

3. Remove the protective film from the top of the device, the battery compartment cover and the lid of the storage compartment for the telescopic handle.

4. Remove the foam to protect the safety bumper.

Charge the battery packs (see operating instructions and safety instructions for the battery packs and the charger).

1. Push the side brushes into the holders at the bottom of the device until they audibly click into place.

   ---

   

   Note

   Two screws are included to secure the side brushes to the device if they should come loose during cleaning and require additional securing.

1. Open the battery compartment cover.

   ---

   

2. Press one or two battery packs into the battery pack holder on the device until you feel it/them latch into place.

   ---

   

3. Close the battery compartment cover.

To be able to use all available functions we recommended downloading the Kärcher KIRA Robots app, see Accompanying product information.

Connect cleaning robots with the Kärcher KIRA Robots app:

2. Open the Kärcher KIRA Robots app.

3. Log in or create an account.

4. Follow the step-by-step instructions in the App.

• 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 were also open during the creation of the map and are to be cleaned.

• For cleaning in Routine mode: 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 Adaptation options in the app.

• Danger zones, such as holes in the floor or dangerous fall points, must be manually demarcated with physical barriers. Areas that the cleaning robot is not allowed to enter must be demarcated in the map beforehand with a no-go zone.
