To use the mopping function, remove the vacuuming dustbin and install the mopping attachment with a clean mop pad. Fill the mopping reservoir with water or a compatible cleaning solution. The robot will then be ready to mop hard floors. Do not use the mopping attachment on carpets or rugs.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance of your Roomba i5+ Combo.
- Empty the Dustbin: The Clean Base automatically empties the robot's dustbin. However, manually check and empty the dustbin if the Clean Base is not used or if the robot indicates it's full.
- Clean the Mop Pad: After each mopping cycle, remove and clean the mop pad. It can be hand-washed or machine-washed according to care instructions.
- Clean Brushes: Regularly remove hair and debris from the edge-sweeping brush and the dual multi-surface rubber brushes. Use the cleaning tool provided.
- Clean Filters: Tap the filter clean to remove debris. Replace the filter every 2-3 months, or as needed.
- Clean Sensors and Charging Contacts: Wipe the robot's sensors and charging contacts, as well as the Clean Base charging contacts, with a clean, dry cloth.

|---|---|
| Robot not charging | Ensure the Clean Base is plugged in and the robot is properly aligned with the charging contacts. Clean the charging contacts on both the robot and the base. |
