4.1 Auto-Emptying Station

The auto-emptying station automatically transfers dust from the robot's dustbin to a larger dust bag within the station. Replace the dust bag when full (approximately every 60 days, depending on usage).

4.2 Dustbin and Water Tank

• Dustbin (350 mL): Empty the robot's internal dustbin manually if the auto-empty station is not used or if it becomes full during a cleaning cycle.
• Water Tank (250 mL): Refill the water tank with clean water before each mopping session. Empty any remaining water after use to prevent odors and mold.

4.3 Brushes and Filters

• Main Brush: Regularly remove hair and debris tangled around the main brush using the provided cleaning tool.
• Side Brushes: Check side brushes for wear and tear. Replace if damaged. Clean any tangled hair.
• HEPA Filter: Tap the filter gently to remove dust. Do not wash the HEPA filter with water. Replace every 3-6 months depending on usage.

Wipe all sensors (LiDAR, cliff, anti-collision) and charging contacts on both the robot and the station with a clean, dry cloth to ensure proper function.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Proscenic Q8 Max, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
