Robot vacuum emits a burning smell or very hot air from the exhaust during cleaning.

Safety first: Immediately turn OFF the robot and unplug the charging dock. Do not continue using the robot until the cause is identified.

• Allow cooling: Let the robot cool down completely (at least 30–60 minutes) before touching internal areas.
• Clean filters and ducts: Remove and thoroughly clean or replace all filters. Check for blockages in the suction path and dust bin.
• Inspect for discoloration: Look for melted plastic or discoloration near the motor exhaust vents, which indicates overheating.
• Test briefly: After cleaning, run the robot for a short period while monitoring for smell or excessive heat.
• Stop if smell persists: If the burning smell returns quickly, the suction motor is likely damaged and must be replaced by a professional. Do not continue to operate the robot.
