4. Maintenance

4.1 Self-Cleaning Base Maintenance

  • Mop Washing and Drying: The base automatically washes the mop with 80°C hot water to dissolve stubborn stains and then dries it with hot air for up to 2 hours, preventing odors and mildew.
  • Dual Scraper Arms: The base features dual scraper arms that clean the base itself during mop washing, reducing stain accumulation.
  • Automatic Water Management: For models with automatic water supply and discharge, ensure the connections are secure. The base also automatically adds detergent.

4.2 Dust Collection and Disposal

  • The base automatically collects dust from the robot's dust box into a disposable dust bag.
  • The dust bag typically needs replacement every 75 days, depending on usage and environment. The base includes a thoughtful storage compartment for spare dust bags.

4.3 Robot Components Cleaning

  • Main Brush: The robot features a double-blade hair-cutting main brush that cuts and collects hair in real-time, reducing entanglement. Periodically check and clean the main brush as needed.
  • Side Brushes: The retractable dual robotic arms (side brushes) should also be checked for debris and cleaned.
  • Filter: The robot uses a HEPA filter. Clean or replace the filter regularly according to usage to maintain optimal suction performance.
  • Sensors: Wipe the robot's sensors with a soft, dry cloth to ensure accurate navigation.

5. Troubleshooting

  • Robot not connecting to Mi Home app: Ensure your Mi Home app region is set to "China Mainland" and Bluetooth is enabled on your phone. Try resetting the robot's network connection if issues persist.
  • Robot getting stuck frequently: Check for low-lying obstacles or cables that might be trapping the robot. The robot's intelligent navigation with low space prediction should minimize this, but some environments may require pre-cleaning.
  • Reduced suction power: Clean the dust box, main brush, and HEPA filter. Ensure the dust bag in the base is not full.
  • Mop not cleaning effectively: Check the water tank levels in the base. Ensure the mop pads are clean and properly attached.
  • Unusual odors from the base: Ensure the mop pads are thoroughly dried after cleaning cycles. Clean the base's water tanks and scraper arms.
