3.3 Vacuuming and Mopping
The LS1 is designed for both vacuuming and mopping simultaneously:
- Prepare for Mopping: Fill the 160ml water tank with clean water. Attach a clean mop cloth to the mop cloth holder and then attach the holder to the robot.

- Adjust Water Flow: Use the Lefant Life app to adjust the water flow level (low, medium, high) according to your floor type and cleaning needs.

- Voice Control: Connect your LS1 to Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. Use simple voice commands to start, stop, or send the robot back to its charging base. For example, "Alexa, ask LS1 to start clean."
- Scheduled Cleaning: Set up recurring cleaning times through the app to ensure your home is cleaned automatically at your convenience.

3.5 Automatic Recharging
When the battery level drops below 20% or after completing a cleaning cycle, the LS1 will automatically return to its charging base to recharge. Ensure the charging base remains accessible.
4. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures your Lefant LS1 operates efficiently and extends its lifespan.
- Emptying the Dust Box: After each cleaning cycle, remove the 2-in-1 dust box/water tank and empty the dust compartment.
- Cleaning the Water Tank: After each mopping session, empty any remaining water from the tank and rinse it thoroughly to prevent mold or residue buildup.
- Cleaning Filters: Remove the HEPA filters from the dust box. Tap them gently to remove dust or use a cleaning brush. Do not wash HEPA filters with water. Replace HEPA filters every 3-6 months, depending on usage.
- Cleaning Side Brushes: Periodically remove the side brushes and clear any tangled hair or debris. If brushes are worn or damaged, replace them with new ones.
- Cleaning Sensors: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the Lidar sensor, anti-drop sensors (located on the bottom of the robot), and the charging contacts on both the robot and the charging base. This prevents performance issues due to dust accumulation.
- Mop Cloth Maintenance: Wash reusable mop cloths after each use. Disposable mop cloths should be discarded and replaced as needed.

5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Lefant LS1, refer to the following common problems and solutions.
- Robot not charging:
- Ensure the charging base is powered on and the power adapter is securely connected to both the base and a working wall outlet.
- Check that the charging contacts on both the robot and the base are clean and free of dust or debris. Wipe them with a dry cloth.
- Verify the robot is correctly positioned on the charging base, with contacts aligned.
- Robot not connecting to Wi-Fi:

- Robot getting stuck frequently or avoiding obstacles poorly:
- Clear obstacles, loose cables, and small items from the cleaning path.
- Clean the FreeMove sensors (located around the robot's bumper) and anti-drop sensors (on the bottom) to ensure they are not obstructed by dust or debris.
- Check for tangled hair or debris in the main brush, side brushes, and wheels.
- Poor cleaning performance (vacuuming or mopping):
- Empty the dust box and clean the HEPA filters.
- Ensure the side brushes are clean and not excessively worn. Replace if necessary.
- Increase suction power via the Lefant Life app.
- For mopping, ensure the water tank is filled and the mop cloth is clean and properly attached. Adjust water flow settings if needed.
- Robot making unusual noises:
- Turn off the robot and check for any foreign objects caught in the main brush, side brushes, or wheels.
- Ensure all removable components (dust box, brushes) are correctly installed.
