Now that you’re connected, it’s time to do your very first clean. It’s super simple, but there are a few tips and tricks that will help your robot create a perfect map the first time.
- Important tips
- If your home is large, your robot may need to return to base to recharge before finishing the house. If it does this, leave it to recharge and wait for it to resume on its own – stopping or starting it again will cause it to re-do the whole house.
- This is all “best case” advice… it’s meant to be fun, so relax and enjoy it. If you don’t get a perfect map on the first lap, it will adjust next time.
- Your robomate may not do it exactly how you expect. Remember, particularly on his first few runs it is still exploring and learning the house. If it appears to miss part of a room before moving to the next, it is likely to return and get that spot later.
- If your robot has an auto-empty station, it may need help emptying the dust-bin for the first 2-3 cleans. This is because the robot normally picks up dust that your old vacuum wasn’t getting and will quickly over-fill and continue to compact the dust into the dust-bin. This is normal and it should empty itself comfortably after it has settled in.
