Setup Guide

1. Unpacking and Placement

Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Ensure all protective films and packing materials are removed from the robot and the auto-empty dock. Place the auto-empty dock on a hard, flat surface against a wall, ensuring 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 dock. This allows the robot to easily return for charging and emptying.

2. Charging the Robot

Connect the power cable to the auto-empty dock and plug it into a power outlet. Place the robot onto the charging contacts of the dock. The robot will automatically begin charging. For first-time use, it is recommended to fully charge the robot before its initial cleaning cycle.

3. App Installation and Connection

Download the Roborock app from your mobile device's app store (available on iOS and Android). Open the app and follow the on-screen instructions to add your Roborock Q8 Max Plus. This typically involves connecting the robot to your home Wi-Fi network. The app allows for advanced control, scheduling, and mapping features.

Operating Instructions

1. Initial Mapping

After setup, initiate an initial mapping run through the app. The robot will use its PreciSense LiDAR navigation to scan your home and create a detailed map. Ensure all doors are open to areas you wish to map. This map is crucial for efficient cleaning routes and advanced features like selective room cleaning.

2. Starting a Cleaning Cycle

You can start a cleaning cycle in several ways:

• Via App: Use the Roborock app to start, pause, or stop cleaning. You can also select specific rooms or zones to clean.
• On-Robot Button: Press the power button on the robot to start a full cleaning cycle. Press again to pause.
• Voice Command: If integrated with a smart home assistant (e.g., Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant), use voice commands to initiate cleaning.

The robot features Reactive Obstacle Avoidance, which helps it detect and navigate around common household objects, reducing the need to clear floors before cleaning.

3. Adjusting Suction Power and Water Flow

Through the Roborock app, you can customize the cleaning experience:

• Suction Power: Choose from multiple suction modes (e.g., Quiet, Balanced, Turbo, Max) to suit different floor types and cleaning needs. The 5,500 Pa HyperForce suction is ideal for deep cleaning.
• Water Flow: For mopping, select from 30 different water flow levels to control the dampness of the mop pad, suitable for various floor surfaces.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your Roborock Q8 Max Plus.

1. Emptying the Dustbin and Auto-Empty Dock Bag

The auto-empty dock automatically empties the robot's dustbin. The 2.5L dust bag in the dock can hold debris for up to 7 weeks, depending on usage. Replace the dust bag when indicated by the app or when full.

2. Cleaning the DuoRoller Brushes

The DuoRoller brush system is designed to minimize hair tangles. However, it is recommended to periodically check and clean the brushes, especially the ends where hair might accumulate. Remove the brushes and use the cleaning tool provided to cut and remove any tangled hair.
