Notes Before Cleaning

Before operating DEEBOT, take a few moments to survey the area to be cleaned and remove any obstacles.

Remove power cords and small objects from the floor that could entangle the product.

The product is not suitable for use on long-pile carpet. Before using the product near an area rug or on a short-pile area rug with tasseled edges, please fold area rug edges under themselves.

Please be aware that the robot needs at least an 8 cm (3") clearance to clean under furniture without complications.

If there is a step or stairs in the cleaning area, please operate DEEBOT to ensure its Anti- Drop Sensors can detect the drop off. It may be necessary to place a physical barrier at the edge of the drop off to keep the unit from falling over the edge.
