Important Tips
How to use:
- Ensure the power switch is on before use. Remove obstacles from the cleaning area.
- The robot cleans areas multiple times for thorough cleaning.
- Side brushes may flick small granules, but the robot will vacuum them.
- Match "L" and "R" marks when replacing side brushes.
- Clock and schedule settings are confirmed by a beep. No beep means unsuccessful setting.
- Empty the dustbin regularly. A full dustbin reduces vacuuming power and may cause spitting, without a warning beep.
For best performance:
- Empty the V5s Plus's dustbin and clean its filter after every use.
- The filter should not be washed with water.
- Replace the filter when vacuuming power weakens.
- Place the charging dock against a wall, with 1 meter clear space on both sides and 2 meters forward.
- Fully charge the robot's battery before each cleaning cycle.
Battery life:
- Charge the robot overnight before first use.
- Turn off the power switch if the robot is not used for a long time.
- Recharge the robot as soon as possible to prevent battery damage.
- Use the robot frequently.
Warning: The product contains electronic parts. DO NOT submerge V5s Plus or spray it with water. Clean with a dry cloth only.

Maintenance
Cleaning side brushes:
Clean side brushes when dirty and replace if damaged. Before replacing, match "L" and "R" marks on both the brush and the robot's bottom.
Cleaning dustbin and filter:
Empty and clean the dustbin after each use. After removing the dustbin, check for foreign matter in the suck passage and clean it. Clean the filter every 15-30 days and replace it after a maximum of 6 months. Ensure both the filter and primary filters are dry before reinstallation. Filters can be replaced if needed.
Cleaning cliff sensors and auto charging pins:
Slightly clean the sensor window and auto charging pins with a soft dry cloth. Charging pins on the charging dock also need cleaning if dirty.
Nose wheel clean up:
If foreign matter is in the nose wheel, it will affect cleaning performance. To clean: pull the wheel up vertically and clean it. Ensure the gasket is properly installed after cleaning.
