Using your Braava jet^®

1. Charge & Insert the Battery
   
   • Place the battery into the battery charger and plug the charger into an electrical outlet.
   • The indicator light will blink amber while the battery is charging. The light will switch to solid green when the battery is fully charged.
   • The wall charger automatically goes into low-power mode when the battery is fully charged to maintain the life of the battery and limit power usage.
   • The battery will fully charge within 2 hours. Battery should always be charged for the full 2 hours in between every cleaning cycle for optimal performance.
   • Insert the fully charged battery into the robot.
   • iRobot also offers additional batteries and chargers as accessories for purchase, so you can always have a charged battery ready to go.
2. 1. Select a Braava jet Cleaning Pad
      • Choose a cleaning pad that matches how you want to clean your floor. Refer to next page for details.
      • Your robot comes with a sample pack of Wet Mopping, Damp Sweeping, and Dry Sweeping Braava jet cleaning pads.
      • Braava jet will automatically recognise the pad and adjust its cleaning behaviour based on the pad you choose.
        Cleaning Tip: Before using a Wet Mopping or Damp Sweeping pad, use a Dry Sweeping pad or vacuum to clean loose debris.
   2. Slide in a Cleaning Pad
      
      • Slide a Braava jet pad into the track on the bottom of the robot until it clicks into place.
      • You can attach a Braava jet pad from either side of the robot.
3. Fill the Robot
   
   • Filling the tank is required for Wet Mopping or Damp Sweeping. When wet mopping, you may add Cleaning Solution to the tank before adding water. This product is a concentrate. Refer to the instructions on the bottle and use the proper amount.
   • Lift the robot handle to find the tank cap. Then lift and twist the cap open.
   • To fill the tank completely, tilt the robot so that the front left corner is pointing downwards and the tank opening is the highest point. Fill slowly with warm water. If you are using the Braava jet^® Hard Floor Cleaning Solution, add the solution first and then fill the tank with water.
   • Turn the cap back and close it. Then lower the robot handle before starting the robot.
     
     Braava jet^® Hard Floor Cleaning Solution is the only solution that can be safely used in your robot mop. Please do not use other cleaning solutions.
     Note: If you are using a Dry Sweeping Pad, skip to Step 4.

Braava jet^® Cleaning Pad Information

OVERVIEW

Pad Type		Cleaning Behavior
Wet	Wet Mopping (Blue)	Triple-pass coverage is similar to how you would mop yourself. The robot drives forward a short distance to one side, backs up slightly, then moves forward to the other side, alternating as it cleans the area.
	Washable Wet Mopping (Blue)
Damp	Damp Sweeping (Orange)	Gentle yet thorough cleaning. The robot drives forward a short distance, then backs up in a straight line, continuing this back and forth pattern as it cleans the area.
	Washable Damp Sweeping (Orange)
Dry	Dry Sweeping (White)	The robot swiftly moves forward in a straight line for single-pass coverage of the area.
	Washable Dry Sweeping (White)

How Braava jet^® Navigates

Braava jet is designed to intelligently navigate and clean rooms up to 200 ft 2 (20 m 2 ) while wet mopping and up to 250 ft2 (25 m2) while damp and dry sweeping.*

• The robot starts by cleaning to the right until it encounters a wall or other barrier.
• When wet mopping or damp sweeping, Braava jet repeats the first line twice to achieve the optimal wetness of the pad before it cleans the rest of the room.
• When the robot has cleaned as far as it can to the right, the robot will continue to the area in front and to the right of where it started.
• The robot will stop cleaning and will return to where it started when the cleaning job is done.
  • Braava jet does not spray furniture or walls. Before the robot sprays, it will back up to ensure it's only spraying a portion of the floor it knows is clear. Lift up floor-length curtains before running Braava jet.
• As Braava jet finds edges, chair legs, and other obstacles, it will clean around them and then return to its original path and resume cleaning.
• Braava jet creates a new map every time it cleans.

* Based on a room with 25% of the floor occupied by objects, furniture and rugs.

Using Virtual Wall^® Mode

You can create an invisible barrier with the Virtual Wall^® Mode so that the robot will avoid cleaning part of a room or a different floor type.

• Begin with the robot powered off. When placing the robot, note that the invisible line will be created in line with the back of the robot.
• To activate Virtual Wall Mode, start with a powered-off robot and press and hold the CLEAN button until two blue lines appear on the top of the robot. The blue lines will indicate that the Virtual Wall Mode has been activated.
  Cleaning Tip: You can also use Virtual Wall Mode to divide a larger room into smaller areas to help Braava jet clean more efficiently.
• Once in Virtual Wall Mode, the robot will mark an invisible boundary in its internal map, extending out to each side (see illustration). As the robot cleans your floor, it will not go beyond the invisible line.
• Once the robot is in place, just press CLEAN to start the job.
• Virtual Wall Mode will turn off automatically when the robot completes its job. To manually clear a Virtual Wall Mode cleaning cycle and turn off the robot, press and hold the CLEAN button until all indicators turn off.

Tips for Best Performance

• For best results, use a Dry Sweeping Pad or vacuum to pick up dirt and dust before running your robot with a Wet Mopping or Damp Sweeping Pad.
• Do not presoak cleaning pads before attaching them to the robot. Pads should be dry at the start of a cleaning cycle.
• To pause your robot during a cleaning cycle, press the CLEAN button. To resume the cleaning cycle, press the CLEAN button again. Do not pick up and move your robot while it is cleaning – the robot will end its cleaning run if you do.
• To turn off your Braava jet, press and hold the CLEAN button for 5 seconds.
• Tilt robot slightly when filling to ensure tank fills completely.
• Your robot will only run with Braava jet pads, which are specifically made for the robot.
• Braava jet cleans best on smooth hard surfaces and may not perform as well on uneven tiles, heavily waxed floors, or rough surfaces like slate or brick which may snag the cleaning pads.
• Lift up floor-length curtains before running Braava jet.

Troubleshooting

Braava jet will tell you something is wrong by alerting you with sounds and lights. If the problem is not resolved, learn more online at www.global.irobot.com.

Repeating Error Messages

If your robot remains on after an error occurs, press the bumper toward the body of the robot once to repeat the message. If your robot has turned off after an error occurs, press CLEAN to turn it on. If the error is ongoing, the robot will repeat the message. Visit www.global.irobot.com for additional support.

Rebooting Instructions

For some errors, rebooting Braava jet may resolve the problem. To reboot Braava jet, press and hold CLEAN for 5 seconds until you hear an audible tone. Take out the battery and insert it again. Press CLEAN again to turn the robot back on.

Precision Jet Spray Troubleshooting

If the robot is not spraying or is spraying unevenly and you have checked that the tank has enough water and can hear the pump running, contact Customer Care.
