5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your DEEBOT MINI.
5.1 OMNI Station Maintenance

- Automatic Mop Washing: The station washes the mop pads automatically with high-speed scrubbing.
- Hot Air Mop Drying: After cleaning, the mop pads are dried with 45°C hot air to prevent bacteria growth and odors.
- Removable Base: The station's base plate is fully removable for easy cleaning, ensuring no manual maintenance for up to 150 days.
- Water Tanks: Regularly empty the dirty water tank and refill the clean water tank. Consider using a specific robot cleaning solution for best results.

5.2 Robot Component Maintenance
- Mop Pads: While the station washes them, it is recommended to manually clean or machine wash the mop pads every 3-4 weeks for thorough hygiene. To remove, pull the two magnetic discs vertically.
- Side Brush and Main Brush: Periodically check for tangled hair or debris. The ZeroTangle 2.0 technology minimizes tangles, but occasional cleaning is still recommended.
- Filters: Clean or replace the HEPA filter as recommended in the full user manual to maintain suction efficiency.
- Sensors: Wipe the robot's sensors with a dry cloth to ensure accurate navigation and obstacle detection.
6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Robot does not connect to Wi-Fi. | Connected to 5GHz network; incorrect password. | Ensure connection to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network. Verify password. |
| Robot gets stuck or navigation is erratic. | Obstacles on the floor; dirty sensors; mapping issues. | Clear floor of cables and small items. Clean sensors. Remap the area if necessary. |
| Mop pads are dry during mopping. | Water tank empty; water flow setting too low. | Refill the clean water tank. Adjust water flow settings in the app. |
| Robot does not clean carpets effectively. | Mop pads are attached. | Remove mop pads when cleaning carpets only. |
| Automatic emptying is noisy. | Normal operation. | The emptying process operates at 70 dB, which is normal. Schedule emptying for times when noise is less disruptive. |
| Robot leaves uncleaned spots. | Inaccurate mapping; specific cleaning mode selected. | Ensure initial mapping was done without obstacles. Check app settings for selected cleaning areas or modes. |
