GENERAL

WARNING

• Your robot comes with a region-approved power supply cord and is designed to only be plugged into a standard household AC power socket. Do not use any other power supply cord. For replacement cords, please contact Customer Care to ensure proper selection of a country-specific power supply cord.
• Do not submerge your robot in water.
• Do not open your robot except as instructed to install or replace the battery or to perform required maintenance. Do not open the integrated dock-charger known as Home Base or Clean Base. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
• Risk of electric shock, only use indoors in a dry location.
• Do not handle your robot or Charging Station with wet hands.
• Do not use unauthorised chargers. Use of an unauthorised charger could cause the battery to generate heat or smoke, catch fire or explode.
• Your robot is not a toy. Small children and pets should be supervised when your robot is operating. Do not sit or stand on your robot or dock.
• Store and operate your robot in room-temperature environments only.
• If the room to be cleaned contains a balcony, a physical barrier should be used to prevent access to the balcony and ensure safe operation.
• Clean the (Edge Detection or Cliff) Sensor lens and covers on the bottom of your robot to remove dust and dirt build-up as needed.
• If the room to be cleaned contains equipment, such as a stove, fan or humidifier, remove the equipment before operation. There is a risk of injury, accident or malfunction if the robot comes into contact with and pushes the equipment.
• Do not use the Mopping Pad Plate as a handle to lift or move the robot.
• Be aware that floors may be slippery after wet cleaning with your robot.
• Do not operate the robot in areas with exposed electrical sockets in the floor.

CAUTION

• Do not use this device to pick up sharp objects, glass or anything that is burning or smoking.
• Be aware that the robot moves on its own. Take care when walking in the area that the robot is operating in to avoid stepping on it.
• If the device passes over a power cord and drags it, there is a chance an object could be pulled off a table or shelf. Before using this device, pick up objects like clothing, loose papers, pull cords for blinds or curtains, power cords and any fragile objects.
• Perform the required maintenance as per the owner’s guide to ensure safe operation of the robot and Charging Station.
• If the robot is operating on a floor with stairs, please remove any clutter from the top step.

NOTICE

• Do not allow your robot or Charging Station to become wet.

• Do not place anything on top of your robot.

• Failure to maintain cleanliness of Charging Contacts could result in the loss of ability for the robot to charge the battery and the Contacts to become hot to the touch.

• Before running your robot on hard floors, please test your robot on a small section of the hard floor to ensure that it is compatible.
  Using your robot on a hard floor that is not compatible could result in damage to your floor. Contact your hard floor manufacturer with questions about compatibility.

• Before running your robot on carpets or rugs, ensure that the carpets or rugs are compatible with vacuums using bars or brushes.
  Using your robot on a carpet or rug that is not compatible could result in damage to your carpet or rug. Contact your carpet or rug manufacturer with questions about compatibility.

CHARGING STATION

WARNING

• If the appliance is not working as it should or it has been dropped, damaged, left outdoors or dropped into water, return it to a service centre.
• Do not use a Charging Station with a damaged cord or plug. If the cord or plug is damaged, it must be replaced.
• Always disconnect your robot from the Charging Station before cleaning or maintaining it.
• Only charge your robot with the power supply provided. The provided power supply delivers a safety extra-low voltage corresponding to the input marking on the robot, which is required to maintain safe operation.
• To prevent the risk of your robot falling downstairs, ensure that the Charging Station is placed at least 4 feet (1.2 metres) away from stairs.
• Do not allow liquids to get on or into the Charging Station.

Charging

• Place the robot on the Charging Station to activate the battery.
  Note: Your robot comes partially charged but we recommend that you charge the robot for three (3) hours prior to starting the first cleaning job. When your robot is fully charged, the Light Ring Indicator will intermittently pulse white at the rear.

• The robot uses a small amount of power whenever it is on the Charging Station. You can put the robot in a further-reduced power state when not in use. For instructions and more details on this Reduced Power Standby Mode, refer to the FAQ page on our website.

• For long-term storage, turn off the robot by removing it from the Charging Station and holding down the Clean Button for three (3) seconds with one Wheel off the ground. Store the robot in a cool, dry place.

Cleaning

• Your robot will automatically explore and clean your home in neat rows, avoiding obstacles using its front-facing Camera. It will return to the Charging Station at the end of a cleaning job and whenever it needs to recharge. Your robot is able to recognise and avoid objects. However, it is still recommended that you remove excess clutter before cleaning.

• To end a job and send the robot back to its Charging Station, hold the Clean Button down for between two to five (2-5) seconds. A blue light ring pattern will indicate that the robot is searching for the Charging Station.

• When your robot detects an especially dirty area, it will engage Dirt Detect™ mode, moving in a forwards/backwards motion to clean the area more thoroughly. The Light Ring Indicator will flash blue. When your robot senses that its Bin needs to be emptied, the Light Ring Indicator will illuminate in a red sweeping motion towards the rear.
  Vacuuming

• To start a vacuum-only cleaning job from your robot, empty the Tank or detach the Mopping Pad before pressing the Clean Button.

Mopping

• Your robot is able to both vacuum and mop at the same time.
  To start a vacuum and mop cleaning job from your robot, fill the Tank, attach a Mopping Pad and press the Clean Button.

• When your robot encounters carpet during its cleaning job, it will lift and tuck the Mopping Pad away.

• After completing your vacuum and mop cleaning job, make sure that you empty the Water Tank and replace the Mopping Pad.

WARNING: To prevent damaging your robot, do not manually stow the Mopping Pad Plate on the Pad Shelf.

1. Press the Bin Release Button to remove the Bin.
2. Attach the Mopping Pad.
3. Fill the Tank with water and a compatible cleaning solution.
4. Place the Bin back in the robot.

Cleaning solution
For best results when mopping, you may add iRobot Hard Floor Cleaning Solution to the Tank before adding water. This product is a concentrate that is suitable for all well-sealed hard floors.

WARNING: Only certain cleaning solutions can be safely used with your robot.
A full list of compatible cleaning solutions can be found on answers.irobot.com/s/roomba-combo-cleanser or by visiting the App. Please do not use other cleaning solutions or bleach-based products.

Troubleshooting

• Your robot will tell you that something is wrong by playing an audio alert and turning the Light Ring Indicator red. Press the Clean Button or tap the Bumper for details. Check the iRobot Home App for further support.
• After 90 minutes of inactivity off the Charging Station, the robot will automatically end its cleaning job.
• To factory reset your robot, remove the Dust Bin and hold the Clean Button down for seven (7) seconds. A sound will let you know when the factory reset has been completed. Press down the Clean Button once more to confirm.

Battery safety and postage
For best results, only use the iRobot Lithium Ion Battery that comes with your robot.
WARNING: Lithium ion batteries and products that contain lithium ion batteries are subject to stringent transport regulations. If you need to post this product for service, travel or any other reason, you MUST follow the postage instructions below.

• The battery MUST be turned off before postage.
• Turn off the battery by removing the robot from the Charging Station and holding down the Clean Button for three (3) seconds with one Wheel off the ground. All indicators will turn off.
