How Roomba Cleans Your Home

Roomba is designed to intelligently navigate and clean an entire level
of your home. Here's a look at how it does its job:
• At the start of a cleaning cycle, Roomba uses iAdapt
with Visual Localization to map out a series of small areas, cleaning
them efficiently, one at a time. Using this map, Roomba tracks where
it has and has not been to ensure complete coverage.
Note:
Depending on your home's layout, Roomba may not always finish
cleaning one room before moving to the next. Don't worry, Roomba will return
to clean any areas that it may have missed before completing the job.
• At various times throughout the cleaning cycle, Roomba touches
up around the edges of the room, as well as chair legs and other
furniture.
• Roomba continues this process until it has cleaned an entire level of
your home. If its battery gets low before finishing a cleaning cycle,
Roomba returns to the Home Base to recharge. After its battery has
been recharged, Roomba automatically resumes and completes the
cleaning cycle.
• Once Roomba finishes its cleaning cycle, Roomba returns to the
Home Base to recharge.

Note:
•
To clear Roomba's memory of the areas it has cleaned so far
in the middle of a cleaning job, press and hold CLEAN for 3 seconds
until all indicators turn off.

Periodically, when Roomba encounters an area of high debris
concentration, it will move in a forward/backward motion to clean
the area more thoroughly. When Roomba does this, you will see the
Dirt Detect™ indicator ( ) illuminate.
