4. Maintenance
4.1 Self-Cleaning Station Functions
The all-in-one station automates several maintenance tasks:
- Mop Sterilization: Uses 45°C hot air to sterilize mop pads, eliminating 99% of bacteria.
- Mop Drying: 2-hour fresh air drying cycle preserves mop fiber integrity and prevents odors.
- Auto-Empty Dustbin: The 3.5L dustbin in the station can hold debris for up to 8 weeks, reducing manual emptying frequency.
- Intelligent Water Control: Prevents over or under-wetting of mop pads.

4.2 Cleaning the Robot
- Main Brush (V-brush): Regularly check and clean the main brush for tangled hair or debris. The double comb design helps prevent tangles, but occasional manual cleaning may be required.
- Side Brushes: Inspect and clean side brushes for debris. Replace if worn or damaged.
- Filters: Clean the HEPA filters regularly. Tap out dust and rinse if necessary (ensure completely dry before reinstallation). Replace filters every 3-6 months depending on usage.
- Sensors: Wipe all sensors (cliff sensors, wall sensors, charging contacts) with a dry cloth to ensure proper function.

4.3 Emptying Dustbin and Water Tanks
- The self-cleaning station automatically empties the robot's dustbin into its 3.5L bag. Replace the dust bag in the station when full (approximately every 8 weeks).
- The station also manages clean and dirty water for mopping. Ensure the clean water tank is filled and the dirty water tank is emptied as needed.
