Do not use appliance without having read Operating Instructions. Retain Operating Instructions for future reference or for subsequent possessors. Function and Mode of Operation Dear Customer, thank you very much for purchasing Kärcher cleaning robot RC 3000. The RC 3000 is an automatic cleaning robot for indoor area of private households. It can be used on all common floor coverings for autonomous, continuous routine cleaning. The appliance consists of two components - a docking station and a mobile robot. The robot is operated with rechargeable batteries. It moves according to random method. If robot bumps into an obstacle, it changes its direction at a random angle. Then, it goes straight ahead until it bumps into next obstacle. The flat design of robot allows it also to clean floor underneath pieces of furniture, such as beds, sofas, cupboards, and wardrobes. The robot is working with optical sensors that detect stairs and steps and prevent robot from falling down. The robot provides four operating programs that allow him to automatically adjust to various degrees of dirt accumulation on floor. The control of operating programs is performed by means of sensors located in dirt receptacle and adjusts depending on detected degree of dirt accumulation. If battery is charged completely, robot can clean up to 60 minutes. After 20 minutes, robot (IR receiver) begins to search its station (IR sender). If robot has not found its station after 60 minutes, it turns off its cleaning functions and exclusively concentrates on search for its station for anor 60 minutes. The station serves to charge batteries of robot and to empty dirt from dirt receptacle. In station, dirt is collected in a filter bag (2 l). Once charging process is completed, robot autonomously leaves station and continues cleaning. 16 English

Frequently Asked Questions For which type of floor coverings can I use robot? The robot can be used on all common surfaces, such as carpets and hard surfaces (tiles, parquetry, etc.). With respect to extremely deep-piled carpets (> 20 mm), specific restrictions apply. The moving sweeping edge is automatically adjusted to different floor coverings. Is it problematic to perform a cleaning underneath pieces of furniture? No. Due to its compact and flat design robot is able to clean underneath pieces of furniture, such as beds, sofas, and wardrobes. How does robot transport absorbed dirt to station? The robot is equipped with a dirt receptacle that is regularly emptied by station. How is dirt absorbed in station? In station, dirt is collected in a conventional filter bag (2 litres). The exchange intervals are flexible and are reported to user in a timely manner by means of a signal device on display. How much dirt can robot absorb? In case of a normal degree of soiling, dirt receptacle is sufficient for one hour of cleaning. If this should not be sufficient in individual case, robot simply returns to station earlier, disposes of dirt and carries on working. How is absorption of dirt in robot performed? The dirt is swept into dirt receptacle of robot by means of vacuum-supported sweeping. Can robot clean in apartment / house without supervision? Yes, this is possible without any problems. The robot is an autonomous system and does not require any intervention. The dirt receptacle is emptied at station. How long does it take until robot is charged or operative? The charging time is between 15 and 60 minutes according to charging state of battery before charging. In case of initial operation, robot certainly has longest charging time. At which speed does robot move? By default, robot runs at 20 cm per second. If it cleans very dirty spots, speed is reduced by half to intensify cleaning. The same applies to final approach to station to allow robot to precisely manoeuvre in. How many square meters can robot clean within one hour? The robot can clean up to 15 qm per hour. Many spots, in particular frequently used paths are cleaned repeatedly from different directions. How does robot know when it must return to station? The robot returns to station as soon as battery voltage has reached a specific level or if dirt receptacle is full. How long does it take to empty robot at station? The process takes approximately 30 seconds. Where is robot programmed? What do I have to pay attention to? The robot can only be turned on or off. You can select cleaning duration at station. In addition, you can specify that robot should not leave station after next approach to station (parking function). According to which principle does robot move? The robot moves through room according to random principle. If he bumps into an obstacle, it turns at any angle and n goes straight until it bumps into next obstacle. 28 English

Frequently Asked Questions Which tools are present that help robot to cope with obstacles? The robot is equipped with sensors that detect stairs and prevent robot from falling down. Using a special carpet fringe program robot does not get stuck in carpet fringes. Thanks to different rotating and driving angles, it also finds it way out of narrow corners. What is most efficient way to operate robot (individual rooms, entire apartment)? It is most efficient to let robot clean individual rooms, i.e. station and robot are located within same room. This reduces searching time during return to station, share of effective cleaning time is, refore, highest possible. If you want to clean entire floors, station should be placed at a central spot of apartment to enable robot to easily return to station. Are corners cleaned without any problems ( robot is round)? No, but due to continuous cleaning, formation of dirt is substantially reduced. Thus, an accumulation of dirt in corners is effectively avoided. What happens at stairs / steps (risk of falling down)? Stairs: The robot works with optical sensors that detect half-landings and signal robot that it must change its direction. Steps: The robot is able to deal with hard steps up to 10 mm and soft steps up to 20 mm in both directions. Caution: Do not leave loose objects (such as newspapers, clos) on stairs and terraces or let m project as this can impair functioning of sensors. Risk of falling Can furniture etc. be damaged? No. Damages of items of furniture can be excluded. Please note, however, lightweight and fragile objects may be touched and moved by robot. Objects that are equipped with a cable, may be pulled down from furniture (e.g. telephone). It is important to prepare room in such a manner that it is suitable for robots. How do pets react to robot? As RC 3000 is not noisy and does not work with ultrasound, problems with pets are not to be expected. The self-movement behaviour only arises mistrust of pets. What is important with respect to children? The robot should not be left unattended if children are playing in same room. Mechanical damages are likely if children sit on robot while it is in operation. Why does robot stop in some situations? The robot is only able to get out of tricky situations to a certain degree. Piled cables can induce him to hopeless manoeuvres. In this case robot turns off automatically after a specific period of time. The red signal on robot lights up quickly. The best solution is to place robot on a free area and turn it off and on again. Then, it continues its cleaning run without problems. How do I transport my robot properly? You can lift robot from floor using both hands, or you carry it by putting one hand into relief of brush. What happens if robot has swept up wet dirt? As a result, filter becomes blocked. You have to remove filter from robot and clean it (see page 26, Cleaning flat filter ). What happens if robot gets stuck while I am not at home? Nothing can happen. The robot stops at this point and displays signal for being stuck. If no lamp is blinking anymore, batteries are low and must be charged. English 29
