4. Installation Instructions
Follow these steps to replace the side brushes on your Cecotec Conga robotic vacuum cleaner:
- Power Off: Ensure your robotic vacuum cleaner is powered off and disconnected from its charging base before beginning any maintenance.
- Access Brushes: Carefully turn the robotic vacuum cleaner upside down to expose the underside where the side brushes are located.
- Remove Old Brushes: Locate the existing side brushes. They are typically held in place by a single screw. Use a screwdriver (not included) to unscrew and remove the old, worn-out brushes.
- Install New Brushes: Align a new EtliN side brush with the corresponding attachment point on the vacuum cleaner. Ensure the square shaft on the brush base fits correctly into the vacuum's motor shaft.
- Secure Brushes: Reinsert the screw and tighten it gently to secure the new side brush in place. Do not overtighten.
- Repeat: Repeat the process for the other side brush if your model has two.
- Verify: Once both brushes are installed, gently spin them by hand to ensure they are securely attached and can rotate freely.
- Power On: Turn the robotic vacuum cleaner right-side up and power it on.

5. Maintenance
To ensure optimal cleaning performance and extend the lifespan of your robotic vacuum cleaner, it is recommended to:
- Inspect Regularly: Periodically check the side brushes for wear, damage, or tangled hair/debris.
- Clean Brushes: If brushes are tangled, carefully remove any hair or debris using scissors or a cleaning tool.
- Replace Periodically: For best results, side brushes should be replaced every 2-3 months, or sooner if visible wear or damage occurs. This frequency may vary depending on usage and environment.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues after replacing the side brushes, consider the following:
- Brushes Not Spinning:
- Ensure the brushes are correctly aligned and securely screwed into place.
- Check for any obstructions (e.g., hair, debris) preventing rotation.
- Verify the vacuum cleaner is powered on and functioning correctly.
- Reduced Cleaning Performance:
- Confirm the brushes are not excessively worn.
- Ensure other vacuum components (main brush, filter) are also clean and in good condition.
