Cleaning and maintenance

Emptying and cleaning the dust container

Empty and clean the dust container when the dust container full indicator flashes.

 1 

 Remove the top cover (Fig. 36).

Note: Make sure the power switch is in ‘off ’ position.

 2 

 Pull up the handle of the dust container lid and lift the dust container out of the dust 

container compartment (Fig. 37).

Note: When you remove or reinsert the dust container, take care not to damage the blades of the  

motor fan.

 3 

 Carefully lift the lid off the dust container and take out the filter (Fig. 38).

 4 

 Shake the dust container over a dustbin to empty it. Clean the filter and the inside of the 

dust container with a cloth or a toothbrush with soft bristles. Also clean the suction opening 

in the bottom of the dust container (Fig. 39).

Caution: Do not clean the dust container and the filter with water or in the dishwasher.

 5 

 Put the filter back into the dust container. Then place the lid on the dust container (Fig. 40).

 6 

 Put the dust container back into the dust container compartment and put the top cover 

back on the robot (Fig. 41).

Caution: Always make sure the filter is present inside the dust container. If you use the robot 

without the filter inside the dust container, the motor will be damaged. 

Cleaning sensors, wheels and side brushes

To maintain good cleaning performance, you have to clean the drop-off sensors, the wheels and  

the side brushes from time to time.

 1 

 Make sure the power switch is in ‘off ’ position.

 2 

 Place the robot upside down on a flat surface.

 3 

 Use a brush with soft bristles (e.g. a toothbrush) to remove dust or fluff from the drop-off 

sensors. Also check if there is any dirt or fluff blocking the suction opening (Fig. 42).

Note: It is important that you clean the drop-off sensors regularly. If the drop-off sensors are dirty,  

the robot may fail to detect height differences.

 4 

 Use a brush with soft bristles (e.g. a toothbrush) to remove dust or fluff from the front 

wheel and side wheels (Fig. 43).

 5 

 To clean the side brushes, grab them by the bristles and pull them off their shafts (Fig. 44).

 6 

 Remove fluff, hairs and threads from the shaft and from the side brush with a soft brush  

(e.g. a toothbrush) or a cloth (Fig. 45).

 7 

 Check the side brushes and the bottom of the robot for any sharp objects that could  

damage your floor.
