4. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your robot vacuum.

4.1 Dustbin Emptying

The 400 ml dustbin should be emptied regularly, especially after each cleaning cycle, to maintain suction power. Open the robot's top cover, remove the dustbin, and dispose of collected debris.

4.2 Filter Cleaning

The filter inside the dustbin is washable. Rinse it under running water and allow it to air dry completely before reinserting. Do not use a brush or fingers to clean the filter, as this may damage it.

4.3 Main Brush and Side Brush Cleaning

The Q7 L5 features a Dual Anti-Tangle System. Regularly check the main brush and side brush for tangled hair or debris. Use the cleaning tool provided to cut and remove any tangled hair. The zero-tangle side brush is designed to prevent hair wrap.
