Working Time
A fully charged robot can operate for approximately 50-70 minutes, depending on the cleaning mode and floor surface.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance is crucial for the optimal performance and longevity of your robotic vacuum cleaner.
1. Cleaning the Dust Box and Filter
The dust box should be emptied after each use or when full. The cloth filter should be cleaned regularly.
- Press the dust box release button and pull out the dust box.
- Open the dust box lid and empty its contents into a trash bin.
- Remove the cloth filter from the dust box. Tap the filter gently to remove dust, or use a cleaning brush. Do not wash the cloth filter with water.
- Rinse the dust box with water if necessary, ensuring it is completely dry before reinserting the filter and placing it back into the robot.
2. Cleaning the Side Brushes
Check the side brushes regularly for tangled hair or debris. Use a pair of scissors to cut away any tangled hair and remove debris.
3. Cleaning the Sensors
The robot's sensors (cliff sensors, bumper sensors) should be wiped clean periodically with a dry cloth to ensure proper navigation.
