5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your Lefant M2S PLUS.

Rinse the filter sponge with water if necessary and allow it to air dry completely before reinstallation. Do not wash the HEPA filter. Replace filters every 3-6 months depending on usage.
5.2 Brushes
- Side Brushes: Regularly check side brushes for tangled hair or debris. Use the provided cleaning tool to remove any obstructions. Replace side brushes if they are worn or damaged.
- Main Brush (if applicable): If your model includes a main brush, remove it and clean any tangled hair or debris using the cleaning tool.
5.3 Mop Pad and Water Tank
- Clean Mop Pad: After each mopping session, remove the mop pad and wash it thoroughly. Allow it to air dry completely before reuse.
- Empty Water Tank: After mopping, empty any remaining water from the water tank to prevent mildew and odors.
5.4 Sensors and Charging Contacts
- Wipe the cliff sensors, wall sensors, and charging contacts on both the robot and the charging station with a clean, dry cloth to ensure proper function.
