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.
