5.2 Cleaning Mop Pads
The package includes three types of mop pads for different cleaning needs:
- Grey Pad: For normal, everyday mopping.

- Green Pad: For capturing fine dust.
After each mopping session, remove the used pad from the support and clean it according to the care instructions (typically hand wash or machine wash at low temperature). Allow to air dry completely before reattaching.
5.3 Brush and Filter Cleaning
- Electro-Brush: Regularly remove hair and debris tangled around the main Electro-Brush and side brushes. Use the cleaning tool provided (if any) or scissors to cut tangled hair.
- Filters: Tap the filter to remove loose dust. Rinse the filter under running water if washable, and ensure it is completely dry before reinserting. Replace filters periodically as recommended in the full manual.
5.4 Sensor Cleaning
Wipe the robot's sensors (cliff sensors, wall sensors, charging contacts) with a clean, dry cloth to ensure proper navigation and charging.
