7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your LEFANT M3 Max.
7.1 Self-Emptying Station
The 3.2L dust bag in the self-emptying station typically requires replacement every 8 weeks, depending on usage and environment. The app will notify you when the bag is full.
7.2 Mop Cleaning and Drying
The station automatically washes the mop pads with 45°C hot water and then dries them with natural air to prevent odors and bacterial growth. The mop base is removable for easy manual cleaning if needed.

7.3 Dustbin and Filter Cleaning
Although the station self-empties, periodically check and clean the robot's internal dustbin and HEPA filter to maintain suction efficiency. Tap out debris from the filter and rinse if necessary (allow to air dry completely before reinserting).
7.4 Brush Cleaning
Regularly remove hair and debris from the main V-shaped roller brush and side brushes. The anti-tangle design helps, but manual cleaning is still recommended.
