Mop maintenance

• First, detach the mop assembly and separate the mop from it.
• Use clean water to rinse the mop assembly. Be careful not to scrub too hard, as this could cause damage.
• Once clean, allow both the mop assembly and the mop to dry completely. Then, reattach the assembly before using it again.

Cleaning the sensors and the charging contacts

• It is important to regularly clean the sensors of the robot. Use a dry cloth or bird brush to remove any dust on them (Image 10).
• Additionally, clean the charging contacts of the robot on a regular basis, but avoid using a wet cloth as this could cause damage. Use a dry cloth or bird brush to remove any dust on the charging contacts (Image 11).

Cleaning the water tank 

• To begin, drain the dirty water from the tank by opening the cover lid (Images 12 and 13).
• Next, open the clean water cover lid and place the tank under the faucet to add clean water. It's important to monitor the water level inside the tank while adding clean water to prevent overfilling (Image 14).
• If you need to clean the water tank, release the side latches and take out the clean water tank. After removing it, use a cloth or rinse it with clean water to remove any dirt. Avoid scrubbing the tank vigorously with a brush as it may cause damage and impact proper use (Images 15 and 16).

Cleaning the docking station

• To clean the docking station ramp, lift the round buckles on both sides and disassemble it. After cleaning, press the ramp down to reassemble it.
• Remove the cleaning rib from the docking station, and rinse it to remove mud and dirt.

Note: After cleaning, leave the docking station ramp, cleaning rib and internal surface enough time to dry before reassembling.

For models XU7100, XU3100 and XU3110, which come with the Auto Empty station, when the dust bag is full you can remove the old dust bag and place a new one in the Auto-Empty station.
