CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
- In order to lengthen your robot’s shelf life and to allow your robot to operate at peak performance, carry out the following procedures periodically.
- Empty the robot’s dust tank.
- Press the dust tank’s release button. Fig. 36
- Open the dust tank and empty it. Fig. 37
Robot filter cleaning
- Remove the filter.
- Carefully shake off all dust from the filter. 38
Free-fall sensors cleaning
- Use a clean, dry, and soft cloth to wipe off any dust from the free-fall sensor located on the right side of the robot’s bottom part.
Warning
- Do not spray cleaning products directly on the sensor.
- Main brush and silicone brush cleaning
- Slightly press the main brush frame’s tabs in order to open the main brush storage compartment and remove it. Fig. 39
- Remove any hair, fluffs, or dust collected in the brush and around the axes. Fig. 40
- Clear and clean the robot’s suction channel.
- Reinstall the main brush and its frame. Fig. 41
High-efficiency filter
- The high-efficiency filter is designed with fibers that help trap dust particles, dust mites, and pollen.
- It is very important to clean periodically the filter, to avoid these particles from building up in the filter, causing efficiency loss.
- It is convenient to carry out this maintenance once a week.
- It is suggested to replace the filter with a new one after a maximum of 160 hours of use.
Recommendations
- Dirt can be removed with a small brush or by shaking it carefully against a hard surface for dust to fall off. The high-efficiency filter cannot be washed.
- Mesh primary filter and sponge filter
- The filtering system is featured with a mesh primary filter and a sponge filter. It is suggested to replace them either after a maximum of 160 hours of use or when they are worn out due to operation.
Recommendations:
- Dirt can be removed with a small brush or by shaking it carefully against a hard surface for dust to fall off. You can also use warm water without detergents to obtain better results.
- Always make sure they are completely dry before installing them again.
Side brushes
- Side brushes are designed with multiple bristles and are used to push dirt toward the suction nozzle and to clean edges and corners.
- These brushes can wear out over time, affecting negatively the cleaning efficiency. For this reason, it is suggested to replace each side brush after a maximum of 220 hours.
Recommendations:
- It is recommended to clean the side brushes once a week with the help of the cleaning brush.
Main brush and silicone main brush
- The main brush is designed with bristles and silicone, spins at top speed, and helps introduce dirt into the suction nozzle.
- This brush is in contact with the floor, and therefore with dirt, so it can be worn out over time, negatively to the cleaning efficiency.
- For this reason, it is suggested to replace the main brush after a maximum of 320 hours.
Recommendations:
- It is recommended to clean the main brush once a week with the help of the cleaning brush.
- Follow the same recommendations with the silicone main brush.
Sensors
- Cleaning robot vacuum cleaners have different types of sensors, for example, proximity sensors that allow the robot to move around while detecting obstacles or free-fall sensors that help the robot detect slopes or possible gaps/unevenness such as staircases.
- These sensors are always in contact with dust particles and therefore can be blocked over time, causing possible navigation errors. It is suggested to clean all the robot’s sensors with the cleaning brush or with a dry cloth after a maximum of 35 hours of operation.
Battery charge and replacement
- To lengthen the battery’s service life, keep the robot charging on the charging base when not in use.
- If the robot is not going to be used for a long time, remove the battery from the product and store it in a dry and safe place.
- To replace the battery, follow the instructions below:
- Unscrew the 2 screws on the battery compartment, remove the battery cover and the battery. Fig. 42
- Insert the new battery with the battery label facing up. Fig. 43
- Place the battery and the battery cover in its place and fix properly the screws back again.
