6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your robot vacuum.
6.1 Emptying the Dustbin
Open the top cover of the robot, remove the dustbin, and empty its contents into a trash receptacle. It is recommended to empty the dustbin after each cleaning cycle.
6.2 Cleaning the HEPA Filter
Remove the HEPA filter from the dustbin. Tap the filter gently to remove dust and debris. The H11 HEPA filter traps 95% of dirt and allergens. Do not wash the HEPA filter with water; replace it every 3-6 months depending on usage.
6.3 Cleaning Brushes
Remove the main brush and side brushes. Use the provided cleaning tool to remove hair and debris tangled around the brushes. Reinstall them securely.
6.4 Cleaning Sensors and Charging Contacts
Wipe the cliff sensors, wall sensors, and charging contacts on both the robot and the charging dock with a clean, dry cloth. This prevents cleaning errors and ensures proper charging.
6.5 Mopping Pad Maintenance (if applicable)
If your model includes a mopping function, remove the mopping pad after use, clean it with water, and allow it to air dry completely before reattaching.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your robot vacuum, refer to the following common solutions:
- Robot not charging: Ensure the charging dock is powered on and the robot's charging contacts are clean and properly aligned with the dock.
- Robot stuck: Clear any obstacles from the robot's path. Clean the drive wheels and sensors.
- Poor cleaning performance: Empty the dustbin, clean or replace the HEPA filter, and clean the main and side brushes.
- App connectivity issues: Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz, the robot is within range, and the app is updated to the latest version. Try restarting both the robot and your router.
