Cleaning the robot
To maintain good cleaning performance, you have to clean the drop-off sensors, the wheels, the side
brushes and the suction opening from time to time.
1 Place the robot upside down on a flat surface.
2 Use a brush with soft bristles (e.g. a toothbrush) to remove dust or fluff from the drop-off sensors.
(Fig. 40)
Note: It is important that you clean the drop-off sensors regularly. If the drop-off sensors are dirty,
the robot may fail to detect height differences or staircases.
3 Use a brush with soft bristles (e.g. a toothbrush) to remove dust or fluff from the front wheel and
side wheels (Fig. 41).
4 To clean the side brushes, grab them by the bristles and pull them off their shafts (Fig. 42).
5 Remove fluff, hairs and threads from the shaft and from the side brush with a soft brush (e.g. a
toothbrush) or a cloth (Fig. 43).
6 Clean the suction opening with a soft brush (e.g. a toothbrush) (Fig. 44).
7 Check the side brushes and the bottom of the robot for any sharp objects that could damage your
floor.

Replacement

Replacing the filter

Replace the filter if it is very dirty or damaged. You can order a new filter under order number
FC8065. See 'Emptying and cleaning the dust container' in chapter 'Cleaning and maintenance' for
instructions on how to remove the filter from the dust container and how to place it in the dust
container.
Replacing the side brushes
Replace the side brushes after some time to ensure proper cleaning results.
Note: Always replace the side brushes when you notice signs of wear or damage. We also recommend
that you replace both side brushes at the same time. You can order a set of two side brushes and two
filters under type number FC8067.
1 To replace the side brushes, grab the old side brushes by the bristles and pull them off their shafts.
2 Push the new side brushes onto the shafts.

Replacing the rechargeable battery

The rechargeable battery of the robot may only be replaced by qualified service engineers. Take the
robot to an authorized Philips service center to have the battery replaced when you can no longer
recharge it or when it runs out of power quickly. You can find the contact details of the Philips
Consumer Care Center in your country in the international warranty leaflet.
