2.4 Pad Attachment and Water Tank Fill

Attach either a wet mopping pad or a dry sweeping pad to the robot. The robot automatically detects the pad type and adjusts its cleaning mode accordingly. For wet mopping, fill the internal water tank with water and a small amount of cleaning solution (if desired, use iRobot Braava jet Hard Floor Cleaning Solution or Bona Hardwood Floor Cleaner). Ensure the lid is securely closed.

3. Operating the Braava Jet M6

3.1 Cleaning Modes and Precision Jet Spray

The Braava Jet M6 offers various cleaning modes to suit different needs, including extended mode for lighter messes, standard for thorough cleaning, and deep for tougher jobs. Its Precision Jet Spray targets messes without spraying solution everywhere, ensuring efficient and contained cleaning.

3.2 Smart Mapping and Navigation

Equipped with iAdapt 3.0 Navigation and vSLAM technology, the robot precisely maps your home, allowing you to define specific cleaning areas and "Keep Out Zones" through the app. It moves in neat, straight rows to ensure comprehensive coverage and avoids obstacles with ease.

3.3 App and Voice Control

Control your robot mop from anywhere using the iRobot Home App. You can start, stop, schedule, and customize cleaning routines. The Braava Jet M6 also works with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, allowing for convenient voice commands.

3.4 Imprint Link Technology

The Imprint Link Technology allows the Braava Jet M6 to coordinate with compatible iRobot Roomba robot vacuums. After the Roomba finishes vacuuming, it signals the Braava Jet M6 to begin mopping, ensuring a comprehensive floor cleaning process.

3.5 Automatic Recharge and Resume

For larger cleaning areas, the Braava Jet M6 automatically returns to its charging dock to recharge when its battery is low. Once sufficiently charged, it resumes cleaning from where it left off, ensuring the entire job is completed without manual intervention.

4. Maintenance

4.1 Cleaning Pads

After each wet mopping session, remove the used pad and wash it with a little dish detergent. Allow it to air dry completely to prevent unpleasant odors. Disposable pads should be discarded after use. The robot intelligently knows which mode to use based on pad type (electrostatic force for sweeping, wicking fibers for mopping).

4.2 Water Tank

Regularly refill the water tank as needed. Avoid spraying cleaning solution or water directly onto the sensors or sensor openings to prevent damage.

4.3 General Care

To ensure optimal performance, keep the robot's sensors clean and free of debris. Avoid letting the robot get stuck on rugs or other obstacles by setting "Keep Out Zones" in the app. Some users have reported issues with tire deterioration over time, which can affect docking. If this occurs, contact iRobot customer support for assistance.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Braava Jet M6, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Robot cannot dock: Some users have reported issues with the robot's tires deteriorating, affecting its ability to dock. This may require tire replacement. Contact iRobot customer support.
• Lid won't lock / "Fill Tank" error when full: This can sometimes be resolved by simply opening and closing the lid once or twice to ensure it's properly seated.
• Navigation problems / Robot spins in circles: This issue has been reported by some users, potentially due to firmware updates or internal PCB problems. Try resetting the robot, remapping, or recalibrating. If the problem persists, contact iRobot customer support.
• Streaking on floors: To reduce streaking, ensure you are using distilled water and the correct amount of cleaning solution. Setting a "favorite" mopping schedule that allows the mop to slowly return to the dock as it cleans can also help prevent dragging wet pads across previously cleaned areas.
