The Lenovo Smart Robot Vacuum Cleaner T1 is designed for automated floor cleaning in home environments. It is not intended for outdoor use, non-ground surfaces like sofas, or commercial/industrial settings. The device should not be used in suspended environments without protective fencing, or in temperatures outside the 0°C to 40°C range, nor with liquids or viscous substances.
Before operation, it is crucial to clear the floor of cables, fragile items, and sundries to prevent entanglement or damage. The robot vacuum is not a toy and should not be operated by individuals with reduced physical, mental, or cognitive abilities, including children, without supervision. Children and pets should be kept away from the robot while it is working, and the main brush cleaning tool should be stored out of reach of children. Users should keep body parts, pet hair, and fingers away from the suction inlet during operation.
The robot is not designed to clean burning objects (like un-extinguished cigarettes) or hard/sharp objects (such as decoration waste, glass, or steel nails). It should not be moved by holding the laser distance sensor cover, the machine cover, or the impact bumper. Before cleaning or maintaining the machine and its charging base, the device must be shut down or powered off. No part of the product should be wiped with a wet cloth or liquid. The mopping module should not be used on carpets.
Users are responsible for any loss or damage resulting from improper use. The product should not be incinerated, even if severely damaged, as the internal battery may explode.
