Maintenance
Replacing the dust bag
Open the top cover of the dust charging base, remove the dust bag, dispose of
it in the trash, take out a new dust bag, check for any damage, place it in the
dust bag slot, and cover it with the lid.
Damaged dust bags may cause damage to the self-emptying station.
Before use, check if the dust bag is intact.
Dust bags are disposable consumables with a usage cycle of about one
and a half months. Please check and replace them regularly to avoid
damage caused by prolonged use.
If dirt accumulates in the dust bag compartment of the self-emptying
station, it is recommended to clean it regularly to ensure the filter is free
of foreign objects, avoiding blockage of the fan inlet and affecting
performance.
Replace with a new
dust bag and cover the
top of the station.
Remove the dust bag
and discard it.
Open the top cover of
the base station.
Do not disassemble violently. After cleaning, reinstall it as it was.
If any foreign objects are found blocking
the passage, unplug the power plug,
turn over the self-emptying station,
and refer to the diagram below.
