Using your Roomba

 

Note:

 After each use, empty the bin and clean the filter.

•   Always store Roomba on the Home Base so it’s charged and ready to clean when you need it. If 

storing off of the Home Base, remove the battery first and then store Roomba and the battery in 

a cool, dry place.

Battery and Charging

Charge Roomba using the Home Base. Indicator lights will turn off after 60 seconds to conserve 

energy while Roomba is charging. Check status of the battery by pressing the CLEAN button to 

illuminate the Battery Indicator. Indicator will appear amber while the battery is charging and solid 
green when fully charged.
