About Your Clean Base™ Automatic Dirt Disposal

Using Your Automatic Dirt Disposal

Positioning the Clean Base™ Automatic Dirt Disposal

WARNING: To prevent the risk of your robot falling downstairs, ensure that the charging station is placed at least 4 feet (1.2 meters) away from stairs.
About Your Automatic Dirt Disposal
While cleaning, your robot will automatically return to the dirt disposal to empty its bin and recharge as needed.
The dirt disposal’s LED indicator will turn solid red when a new bag is needed. If a clog is detected, the dirt disposal will trigger additional attempts to automatically clear the clog.
Note: If you place your robot on the dirt disposal by hand, it will not empty automatically. In this case, use the iRobot HOME App or the button on your robot to manually empty your robot’s bin.

Replacing the Bag
