Using Your RoboVac
Important Tips Before Use
- Remove power cords and small objects from the floor that may entangle RoboVac. You can use the supplied cable ties to organize your wires and power cords.
- Fold tasseled edges of area rugs underneath to prevent tangling RoboVac. Avoid cleaning very dark-colored high-pile rugs or rugs thicker than 1.02 in/26 mm as they may cause RoboVac to malfunction.
- Keep RoboVac away from spaces lower than 2.87 in/73 mm to prevent RoboVac from getting stuck. If necessary, place a physical barrier to block off the problem areas.
- Keep RoboVac away from wet areas.
- RoboVac may climb on top of objects less than 0.63 in/16 mm in height. Remove these objects if possible.
- Anti-drop sensors can prevent RoboVac from tumbling down stairs and steep drops in most cases. They may work less effectively if dirty or used on carpeted/ reflective/very dark-colored floors. It is recommended to place physical barriers to block off areas where RoboVac may fall.
💡Place physical barriers in front of fireplaces and areas that may cause damage to RoboVac if entered. |
Preparation
- Install the side brushes before use.
- Turn on the main power switch on the bottom of RoboVac.
💡Remove the sticker next to the power switch, and the foam blocks beside the bumper before use. - Place the Charging Base on a level surface and against a wall.
- Remove objects within 3 ft/1 m of the left and right side and within 6 ft/2 m of the front of the Charging Base. If you cannot remove the objects, check whether RoboVac can return to the Charging Base normally; if not, contact eufy customer service for help.
- Connect the round connector of the adapter into the power socket on the Charging Base and the other end into a wall outlet.
• When the Charging Base connects to AC power, the LED indicator on the Charging Base is SOLID WHITE.
💡 – Install the Charging Base in a location that RoboVac can easily access. It is recommended to place the Charging Base against a wall, and on a hard-level surface rather than on rugs or carpets. – Always keep the Charging Base plugged in, otherwise RoboVac will not automatically return to it. |
Charge Your RoboVac
- RoboVac has a pre-installed rechargeable battery that has to be fully charged before use.
- RoboVac returns to the Charging Base at the end of a cleaning cycle or when its battery is running low.
Method 1: Attach RoboVac to the Charging Base by aligning its charging pins with the charging pins on the base.
Method 2: Press on the remote control to return RoboVac to the Charging Base.
💡Turn off the main power switch if RoboVac will not be used for a long period of time. To preserve the battery’s lifespan, recharge at least once every 6 months. |
