Depending on your cleaning needs, slide either the dustbin or the water tank into the designated slot at the rear of the robot until it clicks securely.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance is crucial for optimal performance and longevity of your Vactidy Nimble T8. Perform these steps regularly:
1. Emptying the Dustbin
Empty the dustbin after each cleaning cycle or when the "full" indicator appears in the app. Open the robot's top cover, remove the dustbin, open its lid, and discard the debris. Clean the filter with the provided cleaning tool or a soft brush.
2. Cleaning the Water Tank and Mop Pad
After mopping, empty any remaining water from the tank. Remove and rinse the mop pad thoroughly with clean water. Allow both to air dry completely before reassembling.
3. Cleaning Side Brushes and Roller Brush
Periodically remove hair and debris tangled around the side brushes and the main roller brush. Use the cleaning tool to cut and remove tangled hair. Replace brushes if they are worn or damaged.
