Introduction
The Yeedi Self-Empty Station is an accessory designed to enhance the convenience of your compatible Yeedi robot vacuum cleaner. This station automatically empties the dustbin of your robot vacuum, storing debris in a large-capacity disposable dust bag. This reduces the frequency of manual dustbin emptying, providing a more hands-free cleaning experience.

Setup
Follow these steps to set up your Yeedi Self-Empty Station:
- Choose a Location: Place the self-empty station on a hard, level surface against a wall. Ensure 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 of the station. Avoid placing it near stairs or obstacles that could block the robot's return path.
- Connect Power: Plug the power cord into the back of the self-empty station and then into a wall outlet. Ensure the station is receiving power.
- Install Dust Bag: Open the top lid of the self-empty station. If not already installed, insert a new disposable dust bag into the designated slot. Ensure it is securely seated. Close the lid firmly.
- Dock the Robot Vacuum: Guide your compatible Yeedi robot vacuum onto the charging contacts of the self-empty station. Ensure the robot is properly docked and charging. The robot vacuum will automatically align itself for dustbin emptying when it returns to the station after cleaning.

Operating the Self-Empty Function
The Yeedi Self-Empty Station operates automatically in conjunction with your compatible Yeedi robot vacuum cleaner.
- Automatic Emptying: After completing a cleaning cycle and returning to the self-empty station, your robot vacuum's dustbin will be automatically emptied into the station's disposable dust bag. This process typically takes a few seconds and may produce a noticeable sound due to the strong suction.
- Manual Emptying (if applicable): Refer to your robot vacuum's specific instruction manual for details on initiating a manual emptying cycle via the Yeedi app, if supported.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance of your self-empty station.
Replacing the Dust Bag
The 2.5L capacity dust bag can hold weeks of dust and debris, typically lasting up to 30 days depending on usage and household conditions. Replace the dust bag when it is full.
- Open the Lid: Lift the top lid of the self-empty station.
- Remove Full Bag: Carefully pull the full dust bag upwards from its slot. The bag's opening will automatically seal to prevent dust leakage.
- Dispose: Discard the full dust bag in a waste bin.
- Install New Bag: Insert a new disposable dust bag into the slot, ensuring it is fully seated.
- Close Lid: Close the top lid firmly until it clicks into place.
