Before You Clean

  • Pick up loose toys, cords, clothing, or other objects that may interfere with your robot.
  • Secure or move fragile items as your robot may push lighter objects across the floor.

Mapping

  • Your robot will create a virtual map of your home to allow customized cleaning options. Open the BISSELL Connect App and press start. The robot will begin mapping and cleaning at the same time.
  • Your robot will clean a room in sections starting with the perimeter of that section and filling in with a structured pattern.

_ Note: _If the robot is moved to an area outside of the originally mapped area, it will see this as a new space and restart the mapping process. This will delete the original map and any zones previously created.

Tips for Mapping

  • Perform mapping in dry vacuum mode to ensure the robot maps all floor types.
  • Open doors and remove barriers to allow the robot to map freely.
  • After mapping, use the app to customize your clean. Create virtual “go” or “no-go” zones, and create virtual walls on the map.

Scheduled Cleaning

  • Download the BISSELL Connect App to set up automatic features.
  • You can designate a day and time for your robot to run automatically using the app. Once the robot is connected and a map has been created, go to the Schedule tab and follow the on-screen prompts.
