Marie,
'tis midnight here, so I don't want to set my robot off. So, I shall be
going from memory.
When you are on the screen, in the app on your phone, you will see the name
of your Bot. You will see "ready to clean", double-tap on that. In the new
screen, you will see, Settings, then the name of hyour Bot, go back to
''settings", double-tap on that. Now you should be in a screen called
'"cleansettings". You will then see, Eco, double-tap on that, flick again to
the right and hear "turbo", blick again and hear "OK", double-tap on that and
you have set it to Eco. Each time you begin a new cycle, it resets to Eco, I
think, bu you soon get used to resetting it.
If you have hard floors, eco and the squeegee brush works best in my
opinion. The squeegee will work on carpets, but, I think, every now and again,
the ther brush is called for.
HTH, Sandy.
