Cleaning with Roomba

Cleaning Pattern

Before cleaning with Roomba, clear the floor of loose objects. If you don't vacuum over it, don't use Roomba over it (e.g., rug tassels, power and blind cords).

Roomba will clean based on the cleaning

mode you select. Roomba has four cleaning modes:

Clean mode - Roomba automatically calculates the room size and adjusts its cleaning time appropriately. Roomba may clean for up to 60 minutes.

Max mode - Roomba will run until its battery is nearly depleted, up to 120 minutes and will then return to the Home Base.

Spot mode - Roomba will spiral approximately 3 feet in diameter and then spiral back to where it started, intensly cleaning a localized area.

Scheduled Cleaning Mode - When iRobot Roomba receives a cleaning time from Scheduler, Roomba enters Scheduled Cleaning Mode. When Roomba is in Scheduled Cleaning Mode, the Status light will blink amber. Roomba will leave it’s Home Base at the specified time, clean for up to 60 minutes, and return to the Home Base to recharge at the end of the cleaning cycle.

Dirt Detect Mode

Roomba features the ability to clean more intensly in dirty areas. When Roomba finds a particularly dirty area you will see the blue Dirt Detect light come on and Roomba will change its cleaning pattern.

Roomba uses two sensors to recognize the dirtiest areas.To ensure optimal performance, you may want to periodically wipe the sensors with a dry cloth. Roomba will sense heavy debris like pepper, sand, and rice. Roomba will not sense pet hair or dust, but will pick them up.

Roomba Features

Mission Status:

You can program Virtual Wall Schedulers to turn on at the same time as Roomba.

See page 13 for details.

Virtual Walls will automatically shut off after approximately 100 minutes in scheduled mode and 130 minutes in standard mode.

You can set Virtual Walls to cover areas up to 13 feet wide.

Virtual Walls create an infrared signal similar to that of the Home Base and iRobot Roomba Remote. DO NOT set up Virtual Walls near the Home Base or iRobot Roomba will be confused by multiple IR signals and not dock.

Home Base

Irobot Model 4230

Roomba will return to the Home Base at the end of a cleaning cycle or when its battery is running low. Roomba needs to find the infrared signal of the Home Base in order to return.

Always keep the Home Base plugged in.

Be sure to keep your Home Base on a hard level surface and in an area where Roomba has a clear path to the dock so Roomba can return at the end of a cleaning cycle.

To manually dock Roomba, place it within 5 feet of the Home Base and press Spot and Clean simultaneously, or just drive Roomba near the Home Base with the remote, Roomba will dock automatically.

The Roomba Remote,Virtual Wall, and Home Base all operate using an invisible infra red technology. If they are all used in the same area, Roomba may see multiple infra red signals and not operate. Roomba WILL NOT dock if you have a Virtual Wall near the Home Base.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I do if Roomba's battery does not seem to be charging?

Irobot Roomba Instructions Manual

If Roomba's battery is not charging, you should first make sure it is properly seated in Roomba. When you insert the battery, you should hear two clicks. Then confirm that the green light on the charging “brick” is a solid green and that the power indicator light is pulsing. If Roomba is not charging on the Home Base, try charging Roomba by plugging the charger directly into the robot.. If this does not work, call customer service at 877-855-8593.

What should I do if Roomba repeatedly starts and stops, or just spins in place?

If Roomba is repeatedly starting and stopping, or just spinning in place, you may have a blocked cliff sensor.Try cleaning the cliff sensors, located under the bumper, with a Q-tip or compressed air.You also should remove and clean Roomba's brushes and brush bearings.

What can I do if Roomba is cleaning longer than I'd like in a particular room?

Roomba automatically calculates room size and run time based on a number of factors. Roomba will clean for longer in rooms with more debris and furniture. Roomba also spends a little bit longer cleaning rugs than hard floors. In an empty 8x10 room with hard floors, Roomba will clean for approximately 20 minutes. Removing obstacles from a room will decrease the amount of time Roomba needs to spend in a room.

What can I do to help Roomba get back to the Home Base?

The Home Base creates an infrared 'beam' that Roomba needs to find in order to return successfully. You should make sure that the Home Base is plugged in, the power light is on, and the base is on a flat, level surface. Do not use any Virtual Walls near the Home Base, the Virtual Walls use an infrared signal similar to that of the Home Base that may prevent Roomba from successfuly docking. If you have a particularly large home, Roomba may have trouble finding the Home Base at the end of a cleaning cycle. If it does, try repositioning the Home Base.
