Regular care helps keep suction, navigation, mopping, and charging consistent. Focus on the dustbin, filters, brushes, wheels, sensors, mopping parts, and charging contacts rather than waiting for performance to noticeably decline.
Maintenance Rhythm
[reference] Title: After Regular Cleaning Text: Empty the dustbin and check for visible hair, debris, or tangled material. Title: Weekly Care Text: Check the main brush and filter, and clean them when needed. Title: Periodic Deep Care Text: Inspect wheels, sensors, bumper, charging contacts, and the mopping system. Title: Wear Check Text: Replace brushes and filters when they become worn, damaged, deformed, or noticeably less effective. [/reference] [note] Homes with pets, carpets, heavy dust, or frequent cleaning may require more frequent maintenance. [/note]Dustbin Care
Do not allow debris to remain tightly packed in the dustbin. Empty it after large cleaning sessions or every few runs, depending on how quickly it fills.
- Tap loose debris into a trash bag.
- Use a small brush to clear dust from corners and edges.
- If the bin itself is rinsed, let it dry completely before reinstalling.
- Keep moisture away from filters that are not marked as washable.
- Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaning tools.
Filter Care
A clean filter helps maintain airflow and reduces unnecessary load on the vacuum system.
[step] 1. Remove the filter from the dustbin. 2. Gently tap out loose dust. 3. Use a small soft brush if fine dust remains on the surface. 4. If the filter is specifically marked as washable, rinse it with water and allow it to dry completely before reinstalling. [/step] [warning] Do not rinse a non-washable filter or reinstall any filter while it is damp. Avoid aggressive brushing or high-pressure air that could damage the filter material. [/warning]Consider replacement when cleaning no longer restores normal airflow, persistent odors remain, or the filter material is visibly worn. Usage conditions affect how quickly replacement is needed.
Main and Side Brushes
Hair, thread, and carpet fibers can wrap around the brushes and increase resistance.
[checklist] * Remove wrapped hair from the main brush and its ends * Check the brush bearings or end areas for tightly wound fibers * Remove debris from the side-brush hubs * Check side-brush bristles for bending, heavy wear, or missing sections * Confirm the brushes can move without obvious obstruction [/checklist]Use the supplied cleaning tool when available, or another suitable tool carefully. Replace a badly worn or damaged brush rather than continuing to use it.
[tip] If a brush is washed only when its care instructions permit it, allow it to dry completely before reinstalling. [/tip]Wheels, Sensors, Bumper, and Contacts
Debris around moving parts and sensors can affect traction, steering, navigation, and docking.
- Turn each drive wheel by hand and remove visible hair or fibers around the wheel and axle area.
- Clean the front caster area and check that the wheel rotates freely.
- Wipe anti-drop and other exposed sensor windows with a soft dry cloth.
- Clear debris from the front bumper gap and check that the bumper moves and springs back normally.
- Wipe the charging contacts on both the robot and charging dock.
Mopping System
The water reservoir and mop pad need regular care because moisture and collected dirt can create buildup or odors.
[step] 1. Remove the mop pad after mopping. 2. Rinse reusable pads as appropriate and allow them to air-dry completely. 3. Empty standing water from the reservoir when the robot will not be mopping again soon. 4. Rinse the reservoir periodically to reduce residue. 5. Before the next session, confirm the reservoir is seated correctly and the pad is flat and properly attached. [/step] [dosdonts] Do: Use clean water unless a compatible cleaning solution is specifically supported. Do: Check the water-level setting when mopping performance needs adjustment. Do: Inspect the water outlet area gently if flow becomes uneven. Dont: Leave dirty water or a wet reusable pad stored on the robot for long periods. Dont: Use an unsupported cleaning liquid in the reservoir. [/dosdonts]Charging and Battery Care
[checklist] * Use the intended charging dock and power adapter * Keep the dock connected to a stable power source * Keep robot and dock charging contacts clean * Allow the robot to return to the dock normally after cleaning * Keep the robot away from prolonged heat and direct sunlight [/checklist]For normal daily use, the robot can remain powered and docked so it is ready for the next cleaning session. For extended storage, keep it powered off in a cool, dry location and avoid leaving the battery fully depleted for a long period.
A battery may be aging if cleaning coverage becomes much shorter, the robot returns to charge much earlier than before, or charging behavior changes noticeably even after normal cleaning and maintenance.
App and Firmware Care
The companion app can help track cleaning activity, adjust relevant settings, and check for available firmware updates.
- Review cleaning history or usage patterns when deciding whether maintenance is due.
- Perform firmware updates while the robot is docked with a stable network connection.
- Avoid disconnecting power or moving the robot during an update.
- Keep the network connection reasonably stable for scheduled cleaning and app functions.
Prepare the Cleaning Area
Reducing tangles and collisions also reduces unnecessary mechanical stress.
[checklist] * Pick up charging cables, cords, string, and similar items * Remove small objects such as socks, toys, or coins * Secure loose rug edges * Keep the robot away from areas where it repeatedly becomes trapped * Use available area controls or virtual boundaries for unsuitable zones when appropriate [/checklist]Storage and Transport
- Store the robot in a dry location away from extreme temperatures.
- Keep it on a stable, flat surface.
- Empty the water reservoir before transport.
- Remove or secure the mop pad.
- Carry the robot securely with both hands and avoid impacts to the body or sensor areas.
After several weeks or months without use, recharge the robot, inspect brushes, wheels, and sensors for accumulated dust, and run a short cleaning session before returning to normal use.
When to Inspect It Sooner
[checklist] * Suction is noticeably weaker * Cleaning becomes louder than usual * Brushes or wheels repeatedly stop because of debris * Movement becomes uneven or repeated collisions increase * Mopping becomes uneven or water flow changes * Charging becomes intermittent [/checklist]Start with cleaning the relevant brush, filter, wheel, sensor, water-system, or charging-contact area. Regular small maintenance sessions are generally more useful than waiting for several symptoms to appear at once.
