  • 1 x Adapter
  • 2 x HEPA Filter (1 in Machine + 1 Extra)
  • 2 x Side Brush (1 in Machine + 1 Extra)
  • 2 x Dust Bag (1 in Machine + 1 Extra)

2. Charging Station Placement

Place the Dust Collection Station against a wall in an open area, ensuring there is at least 0.5 meters (1.6 feet) of clear space on both sides and 1.5 meters (4.9 feet) in front. Plug the adapter into the station and connect it to a power outlet. Ensure the station is on a hard, flat surface and not on carpet, which could interfere with the robot's ability to dock.

3. Initial Charge

Place the robot vacuum onto the charging station. Ensure the charging contacts on the robot align with those on the station. The robot will begin charging automatically. For first-time use, allow the robot to fully charge before its initial cleaning cycle (approximately 4-6 hours).

4. App Installation and Pairing

  1. Download the Proscenic App from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android).
  2. Open the app and create an account or log in.
  3. Follow the in-app instructions to add your Q8 Max+ robot. Ensure your phone is connected to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network during the pairing process.
  4. The app will guide you through connecting the robot to your home Wi-Fi network.

5. Initial Mapping

After pairing, initiate a full cleaning cycle from the app. The robot will use its 360° LiDAR navigation to create a detailed map of your home. This initial map is crucial for efficient cleaning and allows for advanced features like custom cleaning zones and restricted areas. Clear any obstacles during this first run for the most accurate map.

Operating the Robot Vacuum

1. Cleaning Modes

  • Auto Clean: The robot intelligently cleans your entire home.
  • Spot Clean: Directs the robot to clean a specific small area with concentrated suction.
  • Zone Clean: Define specific areas on the map for the robot to clean.
  • Matrix Cleaning Mode (2 Cycles): For a deeper clean, activate the 2-cycle cleaning mode via the app. This ensures a flawless, spot-free finish by cleaning the area twice.

Choose between 1-cycle and 2-cycle Matrix Cleaning Mode for varying cleaning intensity.

2. Suction Power Adjustment

The Q8 Max+ offers adjustable suction power. You can select different modes (e.g., Eco, Standard, Max) via the Proscenic App to suit your cleaning needs. The robot also features an Auto-Boosts Suction on Carpets function, automatically increasing suction when it detects carpeted surfaces for deeper cleaning.

3. Mopping Function

To use the mopping function, fill the water tank (integrated with the dustbin) with clean water and attach a mop pad. The robot will vacuum and mop simultaneously. Adjust water flow levels via the app for different floor types.

4. Scheduling and Customization

Use the Proscenic App to:

  • Set cleaning schedules for specific times and days.
  • Define No-Go Zones or Virtual Walls to prevent the robot from entering certain areas.
  • Set up Restricted Mopping Zones to avoid mopping carpets.
  • Manage and save up to 5 floor maps for multi-story homes, customizing cleaning preferences for each level.

5. Voice Control

Maintenance

Regular maintenance is essential to keep your Proscenic Q8 Max+ performing at its best.

1. Auto-Empty Station and Dust Bag

The 3L dust bag in the auto-empty station can hold up to 60 days of dirt, providing hands-free maintenance. When the dust bag is full, the app will notify you, and you should replace it.

  1. Open the lid of the Dust Collection Station.
  2. Carefully remove the full dust bag and dispose of it.
  3. Insert a new 3L dust bag, ensuring it is properly seated.
  4. Close the lid securely.

2. HEPA Filter

The HEPA filter is located inside the robot's 2-in-1 dust & water tank. It should be cleaned weekly and replaced every 1-3 months, depending on usage.

  1. Remove the 2-in-1 dust & water tank from the robot.
  2. Open the dustbin compartment and remove the HEPA filter.
  3. Tap the filter gently to remove loose dirt. Do not wash the HEPA filter with water.
  4. Reinsert the clean filter or replace it with a new one.

3. Main Brush and Side Brushes

Clean the main brush and side brushes weekly to prevent hair tangles and maintain cleaning efficiency.

  • Main Brush: Remove the main brush cover and lift out the brush. Use the included cleaning tool to cut and remove tangled hair.
  • Side Brushes: Gently pull off the side brushes. Remove any tangled hair or debris. If brushes are damaged, replace them.

4. Mop Pads

After each mopping session, remove the mop pad and wash it thoroughly. Allow it to air dry completely before reattaching or storing.

5. Sensors and Charging Contacts

Wipe the robot's sensors (cliff sensors, wall sensor, LiDAR sensor) and the charging contacts on both the robot and the charging station with a clean, dry cloth monthly to ensure proper function.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Proscenic Q8 Max+, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

  • Robot not charging: Ensure the charging contacts on both the robot and the station are clean and aligned. Check if the power adapter is securely plugged in.
  • Robot stuck or navigating erratically: Clear obstacles from the robot's path. Clean all sensors. If the map is corrupted, try resetting the map via the app and initiating a new mapping run.
  • Poor suction performance: Check if the dustbin is full or the dust bag needs replacement. Clean or replace the HEPA filter. Ensure the main brush and side brushes are free of tangles.
  • Mopping not effective: Ensure the water tank is filled and the mop pad is clean and properly attached. Check water flow settings in the app.
  • App connectivity issues: Ensure your robot and phone are connected to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network. Restart your router, robot, and phone, then try pairing again.
  • Unusual noises: Check the main brush and side brushes for tangled hair or foreign objects. Inspect wheels for debris.

For persistent issues, consult the in-app help section or contact Proscenic customer support.
