Setup Guide
Unpacking
Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Retain the packaging for future storage or transport.
Charging Station Placement
Place the self-emptying base 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 to allow the robot to dock easily. Keep the area free from obstacles, direct sunlight, and heat sources. Plug the power adapter into the base station and a wall outlet.
The robot automatically returns to its base station for charging and automatic dust collection, which takes approximately 9 seconds.
Initial Charge
Place the robot vacuum onto the charging station. Ensure the charging contacts on the robot align with those on the station. The robot will begin charging automatically. For first use, it is recommended to fully charge the robot before operation.
App Installation and Connection
Download the Midea app from your smartphone's app store (iOS or Android). Follow the in-app instructions to create an account and connect your Midea S8+ robot vacuum. The app allows for advanced control, scheduling, map management, and integration with voice assistants like Amazon Alexa and Google Home.
Operating Instructions
Cleaning Modes
The Midea S8+ offers various cleaning modes to suit your needs:
- Auto Clean: The robot intelligently maps and cleans your home automatically.
- Spot Clean: Cleans a specific area more intensely.
- Zone Clean: Allows you to define specific zones on the map for cleaning.
- Edge Clean: Cleans along walls and furniture edges.
The Midea S8+ features 4000Pa suction power, an efficient mopping mode with even water distribution, and a 5200mAh battery providing up to 150 minutes of mopping.
Mopping Function
To use the mopping function, fill the 250ml water tank with clean water and attach the mop pad. Insert the water tank into the robot. You can adjust the water flow level via the mobile app to suit different floor types and cleaning needs. The high-frequency vibration mop ensures effective removal of stubborn stains.
Carpet Detection
The robot is equipped with carpet detection sensors. When a carpet is detected, the suction power automatically increases to provide deeper cleaning. During mopping, the robot will avoid carpets to prevent wetting them.
Obstacle Avoidance
With over 30 sets of sensors, the Midea S8+ intelligently detects and navigates around furniture, walls, and other obstacles. Its slim design allows it to clean under low-lying furniture, ensuring comprehensive coverage of your home.
The robot's advanced sensor system allows it to easily recognize and avoid obstacles, navigate under furniture, and safely approach stairs.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance is crucial for the optimal performance and longevity of your Midea S8+ robot vacuum.
Dustbin Emptying
The robot's internal dustbin (450ml) should be emptied after each cleaning cycle, especially if the self-emptying function is not used. The 2.5L dustbag in the base station typically needs replacement every 30 days, depending on usage and pet hair accumulation.
Filter Cleaning/Replacement
Clean the HEPA filter and sponge filter regularly (weekly recommended) by tapping off debris. Replace filters every 3-6 months, or as needed, to maintain suction performance.
Brush Cleaning
Remove the main roller brush and side brushes regularly. Use the provided cleaning tool to cut and remove tangled hair and debris. Ensure brushes spin freely.
Water Tank and Mop Pad Maintenance
After each mopping session, empty any remaining water from the tank and allow it to air dry. Remove and wash the mop pad. It is recommended to hand wash mop pads and air dry them.
Sensor Cleaning
Wipe all sensors (cliff sensors, wall sensors, charging contacts, LDS sensor window) with a clean, dry cloth periodically to ensure accurate navigation and operation.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Midea S8+, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Robot not charging: Ensure the charging contacts on both the robot and the base station are clean and free of debris. Verify the power adapter is securely plugged in.
- Robot stuck or lost: Clear obstacles from the robot's path. If the robot frequently gets stuck, consider setting up no-go zones in the app. Clean navigation sensors.
- Poor suction: Check if the dustbin is full and empty it. Clean or replace the filters. Remove any blockages from the main brush or suction inlet.
- App connection issues: Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz. Restart your router, robot, and smartphone. Re-attempt the connection process in the app.
- Mopping not effective: Ensure the water tank is filled and properly installed. Check if the mop pad is clean and wet. Adjust water flow settings in the app.
- Unusual noises: Check the main brush and side brushes for tangled hair or debris. Inspect the wheels for any obstructions.
If the problem persists, please contact customer support.
