Operating Instructions
Cleaning Modes
The OBODE P8 offers four distinct cleaning modes to suit various needs:
- Vacuum Only: Ideal for dry debris and dust.
- Mop Only: For hard floors requiring wet cleaning.
- Vacuum + Mop: Performs vacuuming first, then mopping.
- Vacuum & Mop at the same time: Simultaneous vacuuming and mopping for efficient cleaning.

Navigation and Mapping
Equipped with d-ToF LiDAR Navigation and multiple sensors, the P8 accurately maps your home environment, identifies obstacles, and plans efficient cleaning paths. It supports multi-floor mapping (up to 3 levels) and allows for customized cleaning plans via the app.

Intelligent Carpet Detection
The P8 features ultrasonic carpet detection. When a carpet is detected during mopping, the robot will automatically lift its mop pads to avoid wetting the carpet. During vacuuming, it will automatically boost suction power on carpets for deeper cleaning.

App Control and Voice Commands

Maintenance
1. Dustbin Emptying
Regularly empty the robot's dustbin to maintain optimal vacuuming performance. Open the robot cover, remove the dustbin, and dispose of collected debris. The auto-cleaning station does not self-empty the dustbin, only cleans the mop pads.
2. Main Brush and Side Brush Cleaning
Periodically remove the main brush and side brushes to clear any tangled hair or debris. Use the provided cleaning tool to cut and remove hair from the main brush. Reinstall brushes securely.
3. Mop Pad Cleaning and Drying
The auto-cleaning station automatically washes and dries the mop pads. The P8 returns to the station to clean its mop pads during and after cleaning jobs. Hot air drying (55°C) prevents odor and bacteria growth.

4. Water Tank Maintenance
The auto-cleaning station has separate tanks for clean water and waste water. Regularly check and empty the waste water tank. Refill the clean water tank as needed. The robot automatically refills its onboard water tank from the clean water tank in the base station.
