3. Setup and Installation
3.1 Before Installation:
- Ensure your robot vacuum cleaner is powered off and unplugged from its charging base.
- Remove the existing water tank or dustbin module from the robot vacuum.
- Clean any debris or dust from the robot's water tank compartment.
3.2 Installation Steps:
- Carefully unbox the new replacement water tank.
- Locate the water tank slot on your ROWENTA/Tefal Explorer Serie 60 robot vacuum cleaner. This is typically at the rear or underside of the robot.
- Align the new water tank with the slot, ensuring the connection points match.
- Gently slide the water tank into place until it clicks securely. Do not force the tank if it does not slide in easily; re-align and try again.
- Once installed, the tank should sit flush with the robot's body.

4. Operation
4.1 Filling the Water Tank:
- Remove the water tank from the robot vacuum cleaner.
- Locate the water inlet port, usually covered by a rubber stopper or cap.
- Open the stopper/cap and carefully fill the tank with clean, distilled, or filtered water. Avoid using tap water with high mineral content to prevent clogs.
- Do not overfill the tank; ensure the water level does not exceed the maximum fill line, if indicated.
- Securely close the stopper/cap to prevent leaks.
- Reinstall the filled water tank into the robot vacuum cleaner as described in Section 3.2.
4.2 Emptying and Cleaning After Use:
- After each mopping cycle, remove the water tank from the robot.
- Open the water inlet port and empty any remaining water.
- Rinse the inside of the tank with clean water to remove any residue.
- Allow the tank to air dry completely before reinstalling or storing to prevent mold or mildew growth.
5. Maintenance
5.1 Regular Cleaning:
- Daily/After Each Use: Empty and rinse the water tank.
- Weekly: Inspect the water inlet and outlet ports for any blockages or mineral buildup. Use a soft brush or cotton swab to gently clean if necessary.
- Monthly: For thorough cleaning, you may use a mild detergent solution (e.g., diluted white vinegar) to clean the inside of the tank. Rinse thoroughly with clean water afterward to remove all traces of detergent.
- Ensure all rubber seals are clean and free from debris to maintain a watertight seal.
5.2 Storage:
When not in use for extended periods, ensure the water tank is completely empty and dry. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent material degradation.
