Fixing hook of power cord
• Always keep the home station plugged in. If the home station is not plugged in, the Hom
Bot will not return to the station to charge automatically.
How to Install the Home Station
WARNING Do not operate the Hom Bot if the home station has a damaged cord or plug, if
it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped. To avoid hazard,
the cord must be replaced by LG Electronics, Inc. or a qualified service person.
Tip
1. Position the home station against a wall on hard level flooring to
prevent sliding during docking.

Doing so may cause the Hom Bot to have difficulty docking.
Remove objects within 4.5 ft to the right and left side and within
6 ft to the front.
2. Plug the power cord into an outlet.
Wrap the power cord around the fixed hook on the back side of
the home station or along the wall surface so that the travel path
of the Hom Bot will not be obstructed.
3. Fix the home station against the wall so that it does not move.
4. When the remote control is not used, store it on the remote
control holder on the home station.
16

table legs, furniture corners). When this happens, the internal impact detecting sensor will react by moving
the Hom Bot backwards.
※
If the Hom Bot is set to start cleaning at a location away from the home station, put the Hom Bot on a flat
floor in order to prevent a malfunction of the obstacle detecting sensor. In addition, start cleaning from a
location where there are no obstacles such as curtains or walls within 1 ft of the Hom Bot.
For best results:
• Briefly scan the area to be cleaned for big and small objects that will cause difficulty for the
Hom Bot.
• If cleaning is started when the Hom Bot is at the home station, the device can rapidly be
returned to the home station as the current home position has been accurately read.
• When the mop plate is installed, the Hom Bot will not go over door sills or other platforms of
0.196 in. or higher.

until you hear a 'click' sound.
※
Note that, if the Mop Plate is not secured
correctly, it may separate during the
cleaning.
3. It is essential that the fixing hooks on the Mop
Plate align correctly on to the fixing grooves
on the underside of the cleaner.
For mop cleaning, mount the mop and mop plate to the Hom Bot according to the following instructions:
By attaching the ultra microfiber mop, you can
effectively use the Hom Bot to remove dust.
When the mop plate is attached, the Hom Bot will
not climb on to carpets or over thresholds, in order
to prevent transferring dirt from the mop.
• To avoid odors, wash any foreign material or dust off the mop after cleaning is complete.
• To avoid staining floors, do not use the ultra microfiber mop to clean when dirt is mixed with
liquids such as coffee or ink.
• To avoid damage to carpets from the Velcro or dirt transfer from the mop, do not clean the
carpet while the mop plate or mop is attached.

moved from.
※
If it is moved from its original cleaning position
by more than 3.2 ft, it becomes difficult for the
Hom Bot to search for it's previous location.
2. Press the START/STOP button on the Hom Bot or START button on the remote control.
Hom Bot will then start the location search function along with an audio guide.
※
When the location search is successfully completed, it will continue cleaning from where it was moved.
If the location search fails, it will start again from the beginning.
The Hom Bot remembers its location while cleaning.
If the user moves the Hom Bot while it is operating, it will search for the location it was
moved from by using its navigational location search function before continuing to
clean.

Bin, close the cover and put in the Sponge and
HEPA Filter.
※
Refer to p.30 for detailed assembly guides.
8. Put the dust bin into the Hom Bot and close the
dust bin cover.
If the dust bin is full, suction power will be reduced. Clean the dust bin before and after each cleaning
session. Clean the dust bin using the following sequence:
• Operating the unit without Filters fitted to the dust bin can cause a motor malfunction not
covered by warranty.
• After cleaning the Dust Bin, make sure to assemble the filter and fit it to the Dust Bin.
If you initiate cleaning, with no filters fitted to the dust bin or Filter Cover not assembled,
a voice message will be announced which says "Please check that the dust bin and filter are
properly installed."
• Always ensure that the dust bin cover is refitted correctly after
cleaning the dust bin so that it closes easily and accurately.
Tip

and the home station for charging the battery. In order to maintain the
performance of the Hom Bot, regularly clean the sensors and charging
terminal as follows:
1. Turn off the power switch on the bottom of the Hom Bot. Injury can
be caused by the activation of the Hom Bot if the main power is not
turned off.
2. Lay a smooth cloth on the floor, overturn the Hom Bot and put it on
the cloth.
※
Please make sure to remove the dust bin before rotating the main
body. Otherwise, the dust in the dust bin may fall out.

each section of the brush.
8. Use the side brush only after it has completely
dried.
1. Remove the screws by using a driver and separate
the Side Brush from the main unit.
2. Remove any hair after the separation.
