6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your robot vacuum.
6.1 Dustbin and Water Tank Cleaning
Empty the dustbin after each use. The 600 ml dustbin is easily removable. If using the mopping function, empty and rinse the 400 ml water tank after each use to prevent mold or odors.
