How Roomba Cleans Your Home

The 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, the Roomba uses iAdapt® 2.0
Navigation with Visual Localisation to map out a series of small
areas, cleaning them efficiently, one at a time. Using this map,
the Roomba tracks where it has and has not been to ensure
complete coverage.
Note:
Depending on your home's layout, the Roomba may not always finish
cleaning one room before moving to the next. Don't worry, the Roomba will
return to clean any areas that it may have missed before completing the job.
• At various times throughout the cleaning cycle, the Roomba touches
up around the edges of the room, as well as chair legs and other
furniture.
• The Roomba continues this process until it has cleaned an entire
level of your home. If its battery gets low before finishing a cleaning
cycle, the Roomba returns to the Home Base to recharge. After its
battery has been recharged, the Roomba automatically resumes
and completes the cleaning cycle.
• Once the Roomba finishes its cleaning cycle, the Roomba returns to
the Home Base to recharge.

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