Note

Allow the pre-cleaned surface to dry completely before
attaching the retractor and the cleaning robot.

Securing the movement space of the



Shutters and blinds lowered accidentally or auto-
matically



Adjacent hinged or sliding doors and windows open-
ing or closing accidentally or automatically



Windows, doors, curtains and drapes, etc., moving

DANGER

Risk of strangulation on safety line and straps

There is a risk of strangulation on the safety line and
straps.
Keep children and pets away from the safety line safety
straps.

1. Inspect the retractor, safety line, safety strap, suc-

2. Check the blocking function of the retractor by pull-

ing the safety line out in jerking movements. If the
blocking function does not work, replace the retrac-
tor immediately.

3. Check the safety line for knots and twists; remove

them if present.

4. If possible, attach the retractor in the upper area of

an adjacent, clean glass surface. This can also be
the inside or outside of the glass surface to be
cleaned.

Note

Leave the window or door open when the safety line is
led around the window frame or door frame, otherwise
the safety line will be pinched and the cleaning robot
blocked.

cleaned, attach the retractor in the left or right upper cor-
ner.

Placing the cleaning robot on a glass surface

몇

WARNING

Danger to life, injury and damage due to the clean-
ing robot falling down.

The cleaning robot can detach from the glass surface
and fall down when the battery is empty, in the event of
a malfunction and in the event of strong wind or precip-
itation when used outdoors.
Operate the cleaning robot only with the supplied, func-
tioning, undamaged and correctly installed safety sys-
tem.
Always keep a sufficiently large area under the cleaning
robot free of people and pets while it is attached to a
glass surface.
Always maintain visual and acoustic contact with the
cleaning robot while it is in operation, in order to keep
the hazard zone free and be able to remove it from the
glass surface if necessary.
Remove the cleaning robot from the glass surface be-
fore the battery is completely discharged, when a mal-
function is visible or indicated by sound signals, and in
the event of strong wind or precipitation when in use
outdoors.
