4. Maintenance

Regular maintenance of your ARK3 Performance Kit components is crucial for optimal cleaning performance and longevity.

4.1. Filter Cleaning

• The filters in this kit are washable. Gently tap the filter to remove loose dust over a waste bin.
• Rinse the filter under cool, running water until the water runs clear. Do not use detergent.
• Allow the filter to air dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinserting it into the dustbin. Do not use a dryer or direct heat.
• Replace filters every 3-6 months, or as needed, depending on usage.

4.2. Brush Roll Cleaning

• Regularly remove the main brush roll and use a cleaning tool (often included with the vacuum) or scissors to cut and remove tangled hair, threads, and debris.
• Wipe the brush roll with a dry cloth if necessary.
• Replace the brush roll when bristles show significant wear or damage.

4.3. Side Brush Care

• Inspect side brushes regularly for wear, bending, or damage.
• Remove any tangled hair or debris from the bristles.
• Replace side brushes every 3-6 months, or if they become visibly worn or ineffective, to ensure optimal edge and corner cleaning.

5. Optimizing Performance

To ensure your AEG RX9.2 Robotic Vacuum Cleaner continues to deliver its best cleaning results, adhere to the recommended replacement schedule for the ARK3 Performance Kit components. Worn brushes and clogged filters can significantly reduce suction power, cleaning efficiency, and battery life. Using genuine AEG replacement parts, such as those in the ARK3 kit, guarantees compatibility and maintains the vacuum's performance specifications.

6. Troubleshooting

If you experience issues with your robotic vacuum's cleaning performance after installing the ARK3 Performance Kit, consider the following:

• Reduced Suction Power: Ensure filters are clean and completely dry. Check for any blockages in the dustbin or air ducts.
• Poor Edge/Corner Cleaning: Verify that side brushes are correctly installed and not bent or excessively worn. Replace if necessary.
• Ineffective Debris Pickup: Check the main brush roll for tangles or damage. Ensure it is properly seated in its compartment.
• Unusual Noises: Remove and inspect all brushes and filters for foreign objects or improper installation.
