- Ensure your robot is powered on and your smartphone is connected to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network during the pairing process.
5.3 Initial Mapping
During its first cleaning cycle, the LEGEE D8 will create a map of your home. Ensure all doors are open and clear any obstacles to allow for comprehensive mapping. This map will be saved in the app for future customized cleaning.
6. Operating Instructions
6.1 Starting a Cleaning Cycle
You can start a cleaning cycle in two ways:
- Via the App: Open the HOBOT LEGEE app, select your device, and choose a cleaning mode or start a general clean.
- On the Robot: Press the power button on the robot to start a standard cleaning cycle.
6.2 Filling the Water Tank
For mopping functions, fill the water tank with clean water. The LEGEE D8 features AI Smart Spray, which applies the optimal amount of water to dissolve stains without leaving excessive moisture.

6.3 Cleaning Modes (Talent Clean)
The app offers 7+1 distinctive Talent Clean modes, allowing you to customize cleaning routines based on your needs. These modes optimize suction, mopping, and navigation for different floor types and cleaning requirements.
6.4 Carpet Detection
The LEGEE D8 automatically lifts its mop by 7mm when transitioning to carpets, ensuring deep cleaning for hard floors while protecting soft surfaces from getting wet.

7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your LEGEE D8.
7.1 Emptying the Dustbin (ECO Compactor)
The ECO Compactor technology compresses dust and debris, creating up to 5 times more space. Empty the dustbin regularly, especially after cleaning heavily soiled areas. The compactor mechanism also helps scrape the filter clean and reduce dust emission.
