Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your Roborock E5 Mop.
1. Emptying and Cleaning the Dustbin
Open the robot's top cover, remove the dustbin, and empty its contents into a trash receptacle. Rinse the dustbin with water if necessary and allow it to air dry completely before reinserting.
2. Cleaning the Main Brush
Remove the main brush cover and then the main brush. Use the cleaning tool provided to remove hair and debris tangled around the brush. Reinstall the brush and cover securely.
3. Cleaning the Side Brush
Periodically check the side brush for tangled hair or debris. Remove any obstructions to ensure effective edge cleaning.
4. Washing the Filter
Remove the filter from the dustbin. Rinse it under running water until clean. Shake off excess water and allow it to air dry for at least 24 hours before reinserting. Do not use a dryer or direct sunlight.
5. Cleaning the Mop Cloth and Water Tank
After mopping, remove the mop cloth and wash it thoroughly. Allow it to air dry. Empty any remaining water from the water tank and rinse it. Ensure the tank is dry before storage.

6. Cleaning Sensors and Charging Contacts
Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the cliff sensors, wall sensors, and charging contacts on both the robot and the charging dock. This prevents dust buildup from affecting performance.
