How to Prepare Your Matic for Storage
If you are going away and not planning to use Matic for a prolonged period of time, follow this guide to prepare your robot for storage.
If you are not planning to use your Matic for a while, we recommend the following:
-
Run a short mop cycle over about 100 square feet of clean floor. This helps purge the internal tubes.
-
Once that’s done:
-
Remove the brushroll, mop roll, HEPA bag and the water tank
-
Clean out the wringer and remove any hair from the sweeper driver
-
-
Put the robot in "shipment mode" (Settings > Prepare for Shipment > Prepare for Repair Shipment)
At that point, Matic is ready for deep storage.
For better battery health, we also recommend:
-
Discharging the battery to 40-50%
-
Powering Matic off completely (via the power button or the app)
-
Unplugging the dock (otherwise Matic will continue to charge even when it appears to be off)
-
Storing Matic in a cool, dry place
One last note: while Matic is powered off, it won’t receive regular software updates. That’s completely fine, and we’ll make sure it can update successfully once you power it back on.
