Use Guide

Initial Setup

  1. Unbox: Remove the Roomba robot, AutoEmpty Dock, extra filter, and extra AutoEmpty bag from the packaging.
  2. Place the Dock: Position the AutoEmpty Dock on a hard, level floor. Ensure there is at least 4 feet (1.2 meters) of clear space in front of the dock and that it is away from stairs.
  3. Power On: Plug the dock into a wall outlet. The robot's battery comes partially charged.
  4. Install the App: Download the "Roomba Home" app from your device's app store.
  5. Connect and Map: Follow the in-app instructions to connect the robot to your Wi-Fi network. The robot will then perform an initial mapping run to learn your home's layout.

Starting a Cleaning Job

You can start cleaning in several ways:

  • Using the App: Open the Roomba Home app and press the "Clean" button.
  • Using Voice: Say a command like "Alexa, ask Roomba to start cleaning."
  • Using the Robot: Press the "Clean" button on the robot itself.

Using the Roomba Home App

The app provides control over the following functions:

  • Start/Pause/Stop: Control the current cleaning job.
  • Room & Zone Cleaning: Select specific rooms or draw zones on the map to clean.
  • Suction Power: Adjust between four suction levels.
  • Cleaning Passes: Set the number of passes for a specific room or zone.
  • Schedules: Create recurring cleaning schedules.
  • Keep Out Zones: Designate areas where the robot should not enter.
  • History & Recommendations: View past cleaning reports and see smart cleaning suggestions based on usage.

Emptying the AutoEmpty Dock

  1. The dock will automatically empty the robot's bin after most cleaning jobs.
  2. When the bag is full (typically after up to 75 days), an alert will appear in the Roomba Home app.
  3. To replace the bag, open the compartment door on the front of the dock.
  4. Remove the full bag by pulling it up and out. Dispose of it sealed.
  5. Insert a new AutoEmpty bag into the compartment, ensuring it is seated properly, and close the door.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance.

  • Clean the Brushes: Regularly remove hair and debris wrapped around the Dual Rubber Brushes and the Edge-Sweeping Brush.
  • Empty the Robot Bin: Although the dock handles this automatically, you may need to manually empty the robot's bin if it becomes full mid-job.
  • Clean the Filter: Remove and tap the filter to clear dust. Replace the filter every 2-3 months, or as needed.
  • Clean Sensors and Charging Contacts: Wipe the LiDAR sensor window on top of the robot, the cliff sensors on its underside, and the charging contacts on the robot and dock with a dry cloth.
  • Check the Wheels: Remove any debris lodged in the wheels.

Troubleshooting

  • Robot not starting: Ensure it is charged. Place it on the dock and check that the charging contacts are clean.
  • Robot missing areas: Ensure the mapping run is complete. Clear clutter from floors to allow full navigation.
  • Suction seems weak: Check and clean the filter, robot bin, and all brushes for blockages.
  • App connection issues: Ensure your robot and mobile device are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Restart the robot and your router if necessary.
  • Dock not emptying robot: Ensure the dock is powered on and the bag is properly installed and not full.
