Frequently Asked Questions

Which tools are present that help the robot to cope with obstacles?

The robot is equipped with sensors that de- tect stairs and prevent the robot from falling down. Using a special carpet fringe program the robot does not get stuck in carpet fringes. Thanks to the different angles, it also finds it way out of narrow corners.

What is the most efficient way to operate the robot (individual rooms, entire apartment)?

It is most efficient to let the robot clean indivi- dual rooms, i.e. station and robot are located within the same room. This reduces the sear- ching time during the return to the station, the share of the effective cleaning time is, therefore, the highest possible.

If you want to clean entire floors, the station should be placed at a central spot of the apart- ment to enable the robot to easily return to the station.

Are corners cleaned without any problems (the robot is round)?

No, but due to the continuous cleaning, the formation of dirt is substantially reduced. Thus, an accumulation of dirt in corners is effectively avoided.

What happens at stairs / steps (risk of falling down)?

Stairs: The robot works with optical sensors that detect half-landings and signal the robot that it must change its direction.

Steps: The robot is able to deal with hard steps up to 10 mm and soft steps up to 20 mm in both directions.

Can the furniture etc. be damaged?

No. Damages of the items of furniture can be excluded. Please note, however, the lightweight and fragile objects may be touched and mo- ved by the robot. Objects that are equipped with a cable, may be pulled down from furni- ture (e.g. telephone). It is important to prepare the room in such a manner that it is suitable for robots.

How do pets react to the robot?

As the RC 3000 is not noisy and does not work with ultrasound, problems with pets are not to be expected. The self-movement behaviour only arises the mistrust of the pets.

What is important with respect to children?

The robot should not be left unattended if child- ren are playing in the same room. Mechanical damages are likely if children sit on the robot while it is in operation.

Why does the robot stop in some situations?

The robot is only able to get out of tricky situa- tions to a certain degree. Piled cables can in- duce him to hopeless manoeuvres. In this case the robot turns off automatically after a speci- fic period of time. The red signal on the robot lights up quickly.

The best solution is to place the robot on a free area and turn it off and on again. Then, it continues its cleaning run without problems.

How do I transport my robot properly? You can lift the robot from the floor using both hands, or you carry it by putting one hand into the relief of the brush.

What happens if the robot has swept up wet dirt?

As a result, the filter becomes blocked. You have to remove the filter from the robot and clean it (see page 12, “Cleaning the flat filter”).

What happens if the robot gets stuck while I am not at home?

Nothing can happen. The robot stops at this point and displays the signal for being stuck. If no lamp is blinking anymore, the batteries are low and must be charged.
