thresholds, in order to prevent transferring dirt from the mop.
2. Firmly slide the Mop Plate into the furrows until you hear a 'click' sound.
※ 'Note that, if the Mop Plate is not secured correctly, it may separate during
the cleaning.
“Click!”
For mop cleaning, mount the mop and mop plate to the Robot Cleaner according to the
following instructions:

■ Cautions during the handling of Battery
3. Handling and Cautions
3.1 Disassembly: Never disassemble the battery pack. If the pack is damaged and short circuit is caused by conductive material inflow,
overcurrent will flow and there is a risk of device damage or heat generation.
3.2 Handling: It may cause the falling out of soldered area or welded area, so be careful during the handling of the battery pack.
3.3 Short circuit: Be careful of the short circuit of the batter pack. If there is a short circuit in the batter pack, over-current will flow and there is a
risk of device damage or heat generation. Do not expose it to heat.
3.4 Exposure to moist environment: Do not use the battery pack in a moist state. The current leakage by the moist of the insulating material
inside the pack may cause degradation of the performance.
3.5 Recharging station: Use only the recharging station specified for this battery pack. Using other recharging station other the specification
may cause heat generation, flame, or an explosion.

Safety Cautions and Verifications During the Repair
1. Make sure to convert the power to “Off” state when you check, disassemble, or repair the cleaning robot.
(Turn off the power button at the left backside of the main body.)
2. The circuits used in the cleaning robot are sensitive to static electricity, so repair in an environment without static electricity.
(Wear antistatic gloves and sleepers.)
3. D
uring the electricity applied inspection of the circuit, do not have pin or coin contact with the recharging part.
4. M
ake sure to use the designated parts for replacement parts during the repair.
5. Use appropriate tools for repair.
6. M
ake sure to check the damage of the power cable, etc. before the repair.
If the sheath is peeled or if there is a short circuit, make sure to firmly connect it and wrap it with insulation tape.
7. C
heck the parts with problems using the diagnosis program before and after the repair.
8. C
heck if the upper part and lower part of the main body are completely combined.
(It may cause degradation of the suction power or noise generation. Especially, check the handling of the lead line.)
9. M
ake sure to carry out the insulation test of the motor.
(It is OK if it is 5㏀ or more between the impeller cover of the motor and the power connector.)
