2Check if the charging station is installed correctly.

Install the charging station in a different place

Things to consider when installing a charging station
1. Types of floor (carpet/kid's mat)
2. Installation environment (check if it's installed in a small space)

4Is the mop pad attached correctly to the mop plate?

If the mop pad is not correctly attached to the mop plate, it may not climb onto the charging station as the mop pad is folded.
Make sure if the mop plate is correctly inserted into the mop pocket.

Correct attachment: Correctly inserted into the mop pocket
            Incorrect attachment: When the pocket is not inserted and residual attachment remains.

Others

➔ Make sure to start cleaning at the charging station.

When it starts cleaning from the charging station, it records the location of the charging station, so the vacuum cleaner can easily return to the charging station.
