NOTE: The dust bin must be installed for both vacuuming mode and vacuuming & mopping mode otherwise the vacuum-mop cannot be turned on.  

NOTE: The water tank may contain a small amount of residual water due to quality inspection. This is normal.

Charging

Power Button

• White: Fully charged and connected.  
• Flashing White: Return to dock to charge.  
• Pulsing White: Charging (low battery) or software update - If you try to start a mission the buttons will then flash red and trigger an audio informing you it can't start due to low battery.  
• Flashing Red: Low battery/Error. 

Charging during a cleaning: You robot will return to the dock whenever it needs to recharge. Once it is sufficiently charged, it will then resume cleaning where it left off.

Standby mode: Your robot uses a small amount of power whenever it is on the dock. You can put it in a further-reduced power state when not in use by pressing the home button for 10 seconds. To exit low power mode short press the power button button.

Storing your robot: For long-term storage, turn off your robot by removing it from the dock and holding the power button for 10 seconds. Store in a cool, dry place.

Note: When the robot touches the dock's metal charging contacts, it's normal to see a slight arc, similar to static discharging. This is normal and not dangerous.

Cleaning

Button Controls

• HOME button: Tap to send the robot home. Press when running to pause. Press when paused to dock. Press when docking to stop.  
• POWER button: Tap to Start / Pause / Resume a job. Hold for 3 seconds to turn on. Hold for 10 seconds to turn off.

Cleaning Pattern

Be sure to remove excess clutter from floors before cleaning and use your robot frequently to maintain well-conditioned floors. Your robot will automatically explore and clean your home in neat rows. It will return to the dock at the end of a cleaning routine whenever it needs to recharge. After 90 minutes of inactivity off the dock, your robot will automatically end its cleaning. If you are unsure if it is finished or paused, visit the Roomba® Home App to check on its status.

• Spot clean: Tap button two times to spot clean a designated area. After spot clean is complete, your robot will end the job. Press the HOME button to send it back to its dock.  
• HOME button: Tap to send the robot home. Press when running to pause. Press when paused to dock. Press when docking to stop.  
• POWER button: Tap to Start / Pause / Resume a job. Hold for 3 seconds to turn on. Hold for 10 seconds to turn off.

NOTE: It is highly recommended to use the Roomba® Home App for cleaning control. The mobile app can be used to clean specific rooms, setup cleaning routines, and create automations/schedules.

NOTE: Roomba robots are generally designed to be used on most floor types for vacuuming. We do not recommend using mopping functions on unsealed hardwood floors and certain laminate/vinyl planks due to potential water damage to the flooring and/or subfloor.
