5. Operating
Once the new side brushes and filters are installed, your Rowenta Smart Force Essential robot vacuum cleaner is ready for operation. The accessories will function automatically as part of the robot's cleaning cycle:
- Side Brushes: These brushes sweep debris from edges and corners into the robot's main suction path.
- Filters: The foam and fine dust filters work together to capture dust, allergens, and fine particles from the air as it passes through the dust bin, ensuring cleaner exhaust air.
6. Maintenance and Replacement
To maintain optimal cleaning performance and air filtration, regular inspection and replacement of these accessories are crucial.
6.1. Replacement Schedule
- Side Brushes: Inspect regularly for wear, bending, or damage. Replace every 6-12 months, or sooner depending on usage and floor type.
- Filters (Fine Dust & Foam): Inspect regularly for dirt accumulation. Replace every 6 months to ensure effective filtration and prevent reduced suction power.
Note: The replacement frequency may vary based on the robot's usage, the presence of pets, and the general cleanliness of your environment.
6.2. Cleaning (Filters)
While these filters are designed for replacement, you can gently tap the fine dust filter over a waste bin to remove loose debris between replacements. Do not wash the fine dust filter with water, as this can damage the filter material. The foam filter may be gently rinsed with water if heavily soiled, but ensure it is completely dry before reinstallation.
7. Troubleshooting
If you experience issues after installing new accessories, consider the following:
- Reduced Cleaning Performance: Ensure side brushes are correctly installed and not tangled with hair or debris. Verify filters are clean and properly seated in the dust bin.
- Unusual Noise: Check that side brushes are securely attached and not obstructed. Ensure no foreign objects are caught in the brush mechanism.
- Reduced Suction: This is often due to clogged filters. Ensure filters are clean and replaced according to the recommended schedule.
For persistent issues, refer to your main Rowenta Smart Force Essential robot vacuum cleaner user manual or contact Rowenta customer support.
