1. Dustbin and Water Tank Cleaning

• Dustbin: Empty the dustbin after each cleaning session. Open the robot's top cover, remove the dustbin, and discard collected debris.
• Water Tank: After mopping, empty any remaining water from the tank. It is recommended to rinse the water tank and mop cloth after each use to prevent odor and mildew.

• Side Brush: Check the side brush for tangled hair or debris. Remove and clean if necessary.

3. Filter Cleaning

The washable filter should be cleaned regularly to maintain suction performance.
