Robot vacuum starts but shuts off after a few minutes of cleaning

Safety first: Allow the robot to cool if it feels warm after shutdown.

• 1. Full charge cycle: Place the robot on the dock and charge uninterrupted for at least 5 hours.
• 2. Run‑down test: Start a full cleaning cycle and time how long it runs before shutting off. If runtime is significantly below the specification (e.g., less than 20–30 minutes), the battery is likely worn.
• 3. Check charging contacts: Clean the robot and dock contacts to ensure efficient charging.
• 4. Replace battery: Install a new Rowenta‑compatible lithium‑ion battery pack if runtime remains short.
