Setup Guide
- Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Ensure you have the robot vacuum, charging adapter, and any included accessories.

- Initial Charge: Place the robot onto the charging dock. The indicator light on the robot will show its charging status. For first-time use, fully charge the robot for at least 4-5 hours.
- App Download & Wi-Fi Connection: Download the 'Lefant Life' app from your smartphone's app store. Follow the in-app instructions to connect your robot to your home Wi-Fi network. This enables remote control, scheduling, and access to advanced features.

Operating Instructions
Starting/Stopping Cleaning
- Manual Start: Press the power button on the robot once to start cleaning. Press it again to pause.
- App Control: Use the Lefant Life app to start, pause, or stop cleaning from anywhere.
- Voice Control: If connected to Alexa, use voice commands to initiate or stop cleaning.
Cleaning Modes
The M213 offers 4 distinct cleaning modes:
- Auto Cleaning: The robot intelligently navigates to clean the entire floor area.
- Spot Cleaning: Focuses on a specific dirty area with concentrated cleaning.
- Edge Cleaning: Cleans along walls and furniture edges.
- Scheduled Cleaning: Set cleaning times via the app for automated cleaning.
The M213 employs a three-step efficient cleaning pattern for thorough coverage.
Mopping Function
The M213 includes a light mopping function using disposable or washable wipes. Attach a damp wipe to the designated area on the underside of the robot. The robot will then sweep and wipe the floor simultaneously. Note that this model does not have a water tank; the wipes should be pre-dampened.
Instructions for using the light mopping function with wipes.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your LEFANT M213.
- Emptying the Dustbin: The robot is equipped with a 500ml dustbin. Empty it after each cleaning cycle or when full. Press the release button, remove the dustbin, and discard collected debris.
- Cleaning the HEPA Filter: The HEPA filter should be cleaned regularly (e.g., weekly) by tapping it gently to remove dust. Replace the filter every 1-3 months depending on usage.
- Cleaning Sensors: Wipe the anti-collision and drop sensors with a clean, dry cloth to ensure they function correctly. Dirty sensors can affect navigation.
- Cleaning Side Brushes: Remove any tangled hair or debris from the side brushes. If brushes are worn, replace them.
- Cleaning Mopping Pad: If using washable wipes, clean them thoroughly after each use.
- Brushless Suction Port: The M213 features a brushless suction port, which significantly reduces hair tangling. Periodically check the suction port for any blockages and clear them if necessary.
The brushless suction port design minimizes hair tangling, making maintenance easier.
