How To Get Started - iRobot Scooba 300 series Owner's Manual

Dear Scooba Owner
Congratulations and welcome to the world of iRobot! You have
joined the growing number of people who have discovered a
smarter way to clean.
iRobot Scooba is an innovative and easy-to-use product that will change
the way you clean hard fl oors. Scooba frees you to manage other household
tasks while it cleans, so you can wash your hard fl oors more frequently and
get more done.
Thank you for joining the iRobot revolution. We look forward to bringing you
more groundbreaking products that will change and improve your world.
On behalf of the entire iRobot team,
Colin Angle
Chairman, CEO and Co-founder, iRobot Corporation
Looking after your iRobot Scooba
For best results, use it often! Scooba is designed to work with only
Scooba Hard Floor Cleaning Solution or plain tap water. Never use bleach
in Scooba! After every use, rinse the tank, fi lter, and vacuum port. The
brushes do a lot of the hard work, so it's best to take them out and remove
the hair and fl uff that collect around these.
Your Scooba is pretty smart in getting around, but it does need a little help.
Before cleaning, sweep up large debris and clear away any clutter, furniture
and lightweight rugs. General dust, dirt and grime are what it's there for, but
avoid large liquid spills.
Extend the battery life by recharging it as soon as possible and storing your
Scooba plugged in. For long-term storage, charge battery, then remove and
store the battery in a cool, dry place.
*Safety fi rst* As your Scooba contains electrical parts, don't submerge or
spray it with water – clean with a damp cloth only.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE SCOOBA ON THESE SURFACES:
Carpet or rugs, unsealed hardwood, waxed fl oors, or laminate fl ooring
