Important Information
Diagram showing required clearance around the charging dock. Areas marked with 'X' indicate zones that must be kept clear.
Diagram showing required clearance around the charging dock. Areas marked with 'X' indicate zones that must be kept clear.
- Tidy cables and loose items from the ground and move any unstable, fragile, precious, or dangerous items to prevent personal injury or property damage due to items becoming tangled in, struck by, or knocked over by the robot.
- When using the robot in a raised area, always use a secure physical barrier to prevent accidental falls that may result in personal injury or property damage.
Note: When using the robot for the first time, follow it throughout its whole cleaning route and watch for potential problems. The robot will be able to clean by itself in future uses.
B1 Place the Dock
Keep the dock on a level surface, flat against a wall. Connect it to a power supply.
Clearance requirements: More than 0.5m (1.6ft) on each side, and more than 1.5m (4.9ft) in front of the dock.
Notes:
- Allow more than 0.5 m (1.6 ft) of clearance on each side, and 1.5 m (4.9 ft) in front of the dock.
- If the power cable hangs vertical to the ground, it may be caught by the robot, causing the dock to be moved or disconnected.
- The dock indicator is on when the dock is powered on, and off when the robot is charging.
- Keep the dock away from direct sunlight or anything that may block the dock location beacon; otherwise, the robot may fail to return to the dock.
- To ensure a better user experience of the mobile app, place the dock in an area with good WiFi coverage.
B2 Secure the Dock
Select a flat floor surface to place the dock and wipe it with a dry cloth. Then, place the dock on the selected surface against the wall. Use the double-sided tape to secure the dock better.
B2-1 Double-Sided Tape: Use of the double-sided tape to secure the charging dock is optional. When necessary, remove the double-sided tape slowly to reduce residue glue.
B3 Secure the Moisture-Proof Mat
After the dock is secured, use a dry cloth to wipe the surface on which the moisture-proof mat is to be placed. Tear off the double-sided tape at the bottom of the moisture-proof mat, and stick the mat on the floor.
Notes:
- Always place the moisture-proof mat on wooden floors.
- The moisture-proof mat attaches better to smooth surfaces.
B4 Powering on & Charging
Press and hold the [Power/Clean button] to power on the robot. When the power light goes on, place the robot on the dock to charge. Make sure the charging dock power indicator turns off and a "charging" voice alert sounds. To maintain the performance of the high-performance lithium-ion rechargeable battery pack, keep the robot charged.
Note: The robot may not turn on when the battery is low. In this case, place the robot directly onto the dock to charge.
B5 Using the Mopping Module
- B5-1 Adjust water flow: Slide the switch down to increase the water flow and up to decrease the water flow.
- B5-2 Fill the water tank: Remove the water tank stopper, fill it with water, and close it.
- B5-3 Install the mop cloth: Dampen the mop cloth and wring it until it stops dripping. Insert it into the bottom along the attachment slot and stick it firmly in place.
- B5-4 Install the mopping module: Slide the mopping module along the back of the robot as indicated by the arrow. A click indicates that it is locked in place.
Notes:
- To prevent excessive dirt buildup during first-time use, floors should be vacuumed at least three times before mopping.
- If carpets are present, draw No-Go Zones or Invisible Wall to prevent the robot going on them, or roll them up.
- To prevent corrosion or damage, only use the Roborock branded floor cleaner in the water tank.
- Do not use hot water as this may cause the tank to deform.
- The mop cloth should be cleaned after 60 minutes of mopping to ensure water flow and cleaning performance.
B6 Remove the Mopping Module
When the robot returns to the dock after cleaning, press the latches on both sides, and slide the mopping module backwards to remove it.
Notes:
- Wash the mop cloth after each use, and regularly empty the water tank of unused water to prevent odor.
- Remove the mopping module when not mopping.

Common Issues
Problem | Solution |
Unable to power on | Battery low. Put the robot on the dock and charge it before use. Battery temperature too low or too high. Only use the robot within the range of 4-40°C (39-104°F). |
Unable to charge | Check that both ends of the power cable are properly connected and confirm that the dock indicator is on. If the contact is poor, clean the charging contacts of the dock and the robot. |
Slow charging speed | To maintain the battery life, the robot automatically reduces the charging speed when it is charged in an environment at a high or low temperature. Charging contacts dirty. Clean them with a dry cloth. |
Unable to return to dock | There are too many obstacles near the dock. Move it to an open area. The robot is too far from the dock. Place it closer and retry. |
Abnormal behavior | Restart the robot. |
Noise during cleaning | The main brushes, side brush, or main wheels may be jammed. Turn off the robot and clean them. The omnidirectional wheel is jammed. Use a screwdriver to remove it for cleaning. |
Poor cleaning performance and/or leaking dust | The dustbin is full and needs emptying. The filter is blocked and needs cleaning. The main brushes are tangled up and need cleaning. |
Unable to connect to WiFi | WiFi disabled. Reset the WiFi and try again. Poor WiFi signal. Move the robot to an area with good WiFi reception. Abnormal WiFi connection. Reset the WiFi, download the latest mobile app, and retry. Unable to connect to WiFi abruptly. There may be an error with your router settings. Contact Roborock Customer Service for help with troubleshooting. |
Scheduled Cleaning is not working | Battery low. Scheduled cleaning can only begin when the battery level is above 20%. |
Is power always being drawn when the robot is on the dock? | The robot will draw power while it is docked to maintain battery performance, but the power consumption is extremely low. |
Does the robot need to be charged for at least 16 hours for the first three uses? | No. The lithium-ion battery has no memory effect. The robot can be used any time after it has been fully charged once. |
No or little water during mopping | Check whether there is water in the water tank; adjust up the water flow; wash the mop cloth; replace the filter; check the manual for instructions on how to correctly install the mop. |
Too much water during mopping | Make sure that the water tank stopper is properly installed; adjust down the water flow; make sure that the filter is properly installed. |
Cleaning does not resume after recharging | Make sure that the robot is not in DND mode. DND mode will prevent auto top-up. If the robot is placed manually on the dock before it is recharged automatically, it will not be able to continue cleanup. |
The robot cannot return to the dock after spot cleaning or when it has been moved manually | After spot cleaning or a significant position change, the robot will re-generate the map. If the dock is too far away, the robot may not be able to return for recharging and must be placed on the dock manually. |
The robot begins to miss certain spots | The wall sensor or cliff sensors may be dirty. Clean them with a soft, dry cloth. |
