Safety information27 steps
For recharging, use only AED08LRR or SPCDZ03RR with BLJ18WD200080P-U power supply.
The dock charges only the robotic vacuum with a 14.4V/3200 mAh typical lithium-ion battery.
Switch off and unplug when not in use and before cleaning or maintenance.
The polarized plug fits one way.
Reverse it if it will not fit fully; if it still fails, ask a qualified electrician for a proper outlet.
Never change the plug.
Use only according to the manual; improper-use losses are borne by the user.
Do not use as a toy; supervise near children.
Do not rinse the robot or dock, clean hard or sharp objects such as glass or nails, sit or stand on either, or carry the robot by its vertical bumper, side brush or bumper.
Install the dustbin, washable filter, dust bag, side brush, mop cloth, main brush and cover before cleaning.
Use no disinfectant and only Roborock-recommended cleaning solution.
Keep low objects such as shoes and mats away from stairs and keep operating floors free of water.
Never operate where an infant or child sleeps.
Remove cords and unstable, fragile, precious or dangerous objects.
Keep hair, clothing, fingers, people and pets away from openings and moving parts.
Put the dock on a hard, flat floor, away from fire and heat; avoid humid, narrow or suspended positions.
Children 8 and older or persons with reduced abilities or insufficient experience require safe-use instruction or supervision and understanding of hazards.
Children must not play with the product or clean or maintain it unsupervised.
Never dismantle, repair or modify the battery or dock.
Take protection measures against thunderstorms or unstable voltage.
Do not use on high-pile carpets; dark carpets may reduce effectiveness.
Keep the robot, dock and dock suction inlet uncovered and free of objects.
Use barriers on elevated floors, terraces, slides or furniture.
Never use the dock to pick up stones, paper scraps or air-duct blockages.
Stop using damaged equipment and contact customer service.
Operate in well-ventilated areas.
The manual disclaims indirect, punitive, incidental or consequential loss while preserving statutory rights.

Installation
Instructions from the manual
Prepare the cleaning area5 steps
Tidy cords, hard or sharp objects such as glass and nails and loose items.
Move unstable, fragile, precious or dangerous objects to avoid entanglement, collisions, injury and damage.
Use a physical security barrier in raised areas, including duplex apartments.
Follow the first full cleaning route and watch for problems.
Vacuum floors at least three times before the first mopping cycle.
Positioning the dock6 steps
Place the dock on a hard, flat floor against a wall.
Connect its cord and tidy excess cord.
Choose good WiFi coverage, plug in and confirm the status light is on.
Keep at least 0.5 m(1.6 ft)clearance on either side and 1.5 m(4.9 ft)in front; the diagram labels both clearances as more than these distances.
Avoid a vertically hanging cord, which could move or disconnect the dock.
Keep direct sunlight and obstructions away from its location beacon.
Attach the moisture-proof mat4 steps
Fix the dock, then wipe the mat location with a dry cloth.
Remove the double-sided adhesive backing and stick the mat to the floor.
Always use the mat on wooden floors; it sticks best to smooth surfaces.
Remove the tape slowly when necessary to reduce glue residue.
Powering on and charging5 steps
Before use remove the film from the dock locators at the robot front and rear.
Hold Power/Clean, wait for steady white and place the robot on the dock.
Keep its lithium-ion battery charged for performance.
If low battery prevents startup, place it on the dock.
It cannot be turned off while charging.
Starting mopping10 steps
Vacuum floors at least three times before the first cycle.
Remove the dustbin/water-tank combo unit, open the stopper, fill with tap water and replace the stopper.
Do not immerse the unit.
Dampen the mop cloth and wring until it stops dripping; fit it flat on the mount.
Align the positioning hole and fit the mount to the bottom of the combo unit.
Reinstall the unit in the robot.
Use cold water only; never rinse or immerse the combo unit.
Use no disinfectant and only Roborock-recommended solution.
Empty unused tank water immediately after mopping.
A small amount of factory-test water is normal.
Connecting to the app
Instructions from the manual
Connect to the Roborock app8 steps
Find Roborock in the App Store or Google Play, or scan the manual QR code and install it.
Turn on the robot.
Hold Power/Clean and Dock together for three seconds until the voice says Entering network configuration mode.
Slowly flashing white means the reset succeeded and it is waiting.
Open the app, tap Add Device or + and follow the current in-app guide.
Updates may change the process.
Only 2.4GHzWiFi is supported.
If router configuration, a forgotten password or another reason prevents connection, reset WiFi and add as a new device.
Disable WiFiView
Reset WiFi successfully, then wait five minutes for automatic deactivation. To reconnect, reset WiFi again.

It does not sleep while charging and shuts down after more than twelve hours asleep.
Charging3 steps
The robot returns to charge after cleaning or when its battery is low during cleaning.
Press Dock to send a paused robot to charge; the indicator breathes during charging.
If it cannot find the dock, it returns to its starting position; place it on the dock manually.
Error indication4 steps
A fault makes the power indicator flash red.
An app pop-up appears and a voice alert may sound.
It sleeps after more than ten minutes malfunctioning.
Manually docking a malfunctioning robot ends the cleanup.
Do not disturb mode4 steps
Default DND is 22:00–08:00.
Change the period or disable it in the app.
In DND the robot does not play voice messages.
The Common Issues table separately says DND prevents auto top-up and auto-emptying.
Restore factory settings3 steps
If buttons do not respond or the robot cannot switch off, power on and hold Dock for five seconds.
