Safety first: Switch the robot off and unplug the dock before clearing brushes, ducts or contacts. Keep liquids out of the dock and LDS. Use only the specified base and battery components.
Confirm exact model and variant
Use only Dreame D10 Plus Gen 2 (RLD32GD) and its matching auto-empty base (RCDD0202). Original D10 Plus/D10s Plus instructions or app features may differ by version.

03

HOW TO CHECK & CORRECT THIS CAUSE
- Inspect station air path, disposable bag inlet flap and lid seal.
