Using Your Roomba

Positioning the Home Base
®
Place the Home Base in an open, uncluttered area, leaving the following
distances around the Home Base:
• At least 1.5 feet (0.5 metres) on each side of the Home Base
• At least 4 feet (1.2 metres) in front of the Home Base, and at least
4 feet (1.2 metres) away from stairs
• At least 8 feet (2.4 metres) from Virtual Wall Barriers
Always keep the Home Base plugged in and make sure it is in an area with
consistent Wi-Fi
coverage to allow Roomba to receive information via the

Use Instructions
• Turn your robot over and remove the bin insert and battery pull tabs.
Then place Roomba on the Home Base to activate the battery.
• Roomba has a partial battery charge, so it's ready to start cleaning.
Note:
Roomba ships with a partial battery charge. If you start a
cleaning cycle before charging the battery fully, Roomba may
return to the Home Base to recharge sooner than it will during future
cleaning cycles. To fully charge the battery before the first cleaning
cycle, allow Roomba to charge on the Home Base for 3 hours.
Note:
Remove excess clutter from floors before cleaning (e.g. clothing, toys, etc.).
Use Roomba frequently to maintain well-conditioned floors.
• If its battery gets low before finishing a cleaning cycle, Roomba returns to the Home
Base to recharge. It will not play a tone when it docks and its CLEAN button will pulse
with the battery indicator (
» After its battery has been recharged, Roomba automatically returns to where it left
off and completes the cleaning cycle.
» You can check the iRobot HOME App for a current status of your Roomba.
• If Roomba is returning to recharge after completing a cleaning cycle, it will play a series
of tones to indicate successful completion of the cleaning cycle.
• To pause Roomba during a cleaning cycle, press CLEAN.
• To resume the cleaning cycle, press CLEAN again.
• To end the cleaning cycle and put Roomba in standby mode, press and hold CLEAN
:
®
until Roomba's indicators turn off.
• To send Roomba back to its Home Base during a cleaning cycle, press CLEAN and then
(DOCK) on Roomba or press CLEAN on the iRobot HOME App main screen. This will
end the cleaning cycle.
• If 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.
• To use SPOT Cleaning, place Roomba on top of the localised debris and press
on the robot. Roomba will intensely clean the area by spiraling outward about 3 feet
(1metre) in diameter and then spiraling inward to where it started.
• When Roomba senses that its dust bin is full ( ), it is programed to complete its cleaning
cycle by default. You can adjust this setting under Cleaning Preferences (
iRobot HOME App.
» Roomba won't leave the Home Base for a cleaning cycle if its bin is full. In this
case, remove and empty the bin, then reinsert it before starting or resuming
a cleaning cycle.
Note:
After each use, empty the bin, and clean the filter.
• Always store Roomba on the Home Base so it's charged and ready to clean when you
need it. If storing away from the Home Base, remove the battery first and then store
Roomba and the battery in a cool, dry place.
