This symbol on the battery indicates that the battery must not be disposed of with unsorted common municipal waste. As the enduser, it is your responsibility to dispose of the end-of-life battery in your appliance in an environmentally sensitive manner as follows:
The separate collection and recycling of end-of-life batteries at the time of disposal will help to conserve natural resources and to ensure that it is recycled in a manner that protects human health and the environment. For more information, please contact your local recycling office or the dealer from whom you originally purchased the product. Failure to properly dispose of end-of-life batteries may potentially result in negative effects on the environment and human health due to the substances in the batteries and accumulators.
Information regarding the effects of problematic substances in the battery waste stream may be found at the following source: http://ec.europa.eu/environment/waste/batteries/
*Selected models only
To prevent the risk of your robot falling down stairs when it is leaving or returning to the Home Base, ensure that the Home Base is placed at least 4 feet (1.2 metres) away from stairs.
Download the iRobot HOME App and connect to Wi-Fi ®
Remove excess clutter from floors before cleaning. Use your robot frequently to maintain well-conditioned floors.
When the robot senses its bin needs to be emptied, the light ring indicator will illuminate in a red sweeping motion toward the rear.
For best results, only use the iRobot Lithium Ion Battery that comes with your robot.
Lithium ion batteries and products that contain lithium ion batteries are subject to stringent transportation regulations. If you need to ship this product for service, travel or any other reason, you MUST follow the below shipping instructions.
Note: For best results, place at least 8 feet (2.5 metres) from the Home Base.
Use the Dual Mode Virtual Wall® barrier to keep the robot in the places you want cleaned — and out of the ones you don't. It creates an invisible barrier that only the robot can see. You can leave the device in position between cleanings.
*Dual Mode Virtual Wall included for selected models only
Virtual Wall Mode: When the switch is in the Virtual Wall position ( ), the device will create a linear barrier to block openings up to 10 feet (3 metres).
Note: This barrier gets wider as it gets further from the device (refer to illustration).
Halo Mode: Toggle the switch to the Halo position ( ), to create a circular barrier. This will prevent the robot from approaching zones you want to protect such as a pet bowl, vase, or under a desk. The Halo barrier extends approximately 12 inches (30 centimetres) from the centre of the device.
Note: The batteries will last about 8–10 months under normal use. If you are not planning to use your Virtual Wall barrier for an extended period of time, be sure to turn the switch to the Off, or middle position.
To keep your robot running at peak performance, perform the procedures on the following pages.
There are additional instructional videos in the iRobot HOME App. If you notice the robot picking up less debris from your floor, empty the bin, clean the brushes, and clean or replace the filter if needed.
Part | Care Frequency | Replacement Frequency* |
Bin | Wash bin as needed | |
Filter | Clean once a week (twice a week if you have a pet). Do not wash. | Every 2 months |
Full Bin Sensor | Clean every 2 weeks | |
Front Caster Wheel | Clean every 2 weeks | Every 12 months |
Edge-Sweeping Brush and Multi-Surface Brushes | Clean once a month (twice a month if you have a pet) | Every 12 months |

The robot will not run if the filter is not installed correctly.
Replace the filter every two months.
Do not wash the filter. Remove the filter before washing the bin.
A front wheel clogged with hair and debris could result in damage to your floor. If the wheel is not spinning freely after you have cleaned it, please contact Customer Care.
