The Miele manual lists F1–F8 for the Scout RX3, Scout RX3 Runner, and Scout RX3 Home Vision HD manual family. Before handling a fault, switch the robot off at the side I/0 switch. The manual warns that the robot may start unexpectedly while an error is being addressed.

Display Manual meaning Listed external check
F1 Wheel raised Place the robot on a level floor.
F2 Sensors dirty; at startup, the collision sensor may be above empty space Clean the sensors and move the robot away from an edge.
F3 Filter not recognized Insert the dust box with the exhaust filter fitted.
F4 Drive wheels overloaded or stuck Remove hair or threads from the drive wheels.
F5 Brushes overloaded Clean the roller and side brushes and remove caught objects.
F6 Fan motor overloaded Empty and clean the dust box; clean or replace the exhaust filter as the manual directs.
F7 Internal system error or operation outside the permitted ambient temperature Switch the robot off and on. The manual does not distinguish which condition caused F7 or state a temperature range in this table.
F8 Front wheel dirty Remove hair or threads and clean the wheel, cover, and recess.

After correcting a listed problem, the manual allows a reset by switching the side I/0 switch off and on, pressing the remote’s Power button, or holding the robot’s Start/Pause sensor for at least three seconds. Use the manual’s sequence for this family; do not transfer it to another Miele model.

The F7 entry is ambiguous. It is not enough to diagnose a failed system or a temperature problem. If a message remains, or cleaning would require opening the robot, stop and contact Miele service.
