Setup
Before using your iRobot Roomba s9+ and Braava Jet m6, follow these steps for initial setup:
- Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Ensure you have the Roomba s9+ robot, Braava jet m6 robot, Clean Base Automatic Dirt Disposal, Home Base charging station, power cords, and any included accessories.
- Placement: Place the Clean Base for the Roomba s9+ and the Home Base for the Braava jet m6 in areas with good Wi-Fi coverage, on a level surface, and against a wall. Ensure there is adequate clear space around each base (e.g., 1.5 feet on each side and 4 feet in front).
- Charging: Connect the power cords to their respective bases and plug them into a wall outlet. Place both robots on their bases to charge fully before first use. The battery indicator will show charging status.
- iRobot Home App Installation: Download the iRobot Home app from your device's app store. Follow the in-app instructions to connect both your Roomba s9+ and Braava jet m6 to your home Wi-Fi network. The app will guide you through naming your robots and initial mapping runs.
- Initial Mapping: Allow the robots to complete several mapping runs to learn the layout of your home. This process is crucial for efficient cleaning and smart navigation.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures your robots continue to perform effectively. The iRobot Home app will often provide reminders for maintenance tasks.
Roomba s9+ Vacuum Maintenance
- Emptying the Clean Base: The Clean Base automatically empties the robot's bin for up to 60 days. Replace the disposable bag in the Clean Base when full.
- Cleaning the Robot's Bin: Periodically remove and clean the robot's internal dust bin and filter.
- Cleaning Brushes: Remove and clean the Dual Rubber Brushes regularly to prevent hair tangles and maintain cleaning efficiency. The Corner Brush should also be cleaned.
- Cleaning Sensors: Wipe the robot's sensors (cliff sensors, optical sensors) with a clean, dry cloth to ensure proper navigation.
- Filter Replacement: Replace the high-efficiency filter as recommended by the app or every few months, depending on usage.

Braava Jet m6 Mop Maintenance
- Filling the Tank: Fill the Braava jet m6's tank with water or Braava jet Hard Floor Cleaning Solution. Do not use other cleaning solutions.
- Attaching/Ejecting Pads: Use disposable or washable mopping pads. Attach a clean pad before each mopping cycle. Eject used pads directly into the trash using the pad eject button to avoid touching dirty pads.
- Cleaning Wheels and Sensors: Periodically clean the wheels and sensors to ensure smooth movement and accurate navigation.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your iRobot Roomba s9+ or Braava Jet m6, refer to the following common solutions:
- Robot Not Starting/Returning to Base: Ensure the robot is fully charged and its charging contacts are clean. Check for any obstructions around the base station.
- Navigation/Mapping Issues: If the robot gets stuck frequently or creates incorrect maps, ensure all sensors are clean. Perform a reboot of the robot and the app. Ensure adequate lighting during mapping runs.
- Poor Cleaning Performance: For the Roomba s9+, check and clean the brushes, filter, and dust bin. For the Braava jet m6, ensure the tank is filled and a clean pad is attached.
- Robot Getting Stuck: Clear the cleaning area of loose cables, small objects, or thick rugs that might impede movement. Use Keep Out Zones in the app for problematic areas.
- App Connectivity Issues: Ensure your Wi-Fi network is stable and the robots are within range. Try restarting your router, the robots, and the iRobot Home app.
- Battery Life Concerns: Battery performance can vary with floor type and cleaning mode. Ensure the robot is fully charged before each cycle. If battery life significantly degrades, contact customer support.
- Dirty Sensors/Battery Contacts: If the robot behaves erratically or fails to charge, inspect and clean all visible sensors and the battery charging contacts on both the robot and its base. Fine dust can sometimes interfere with these components.
For persistent issues, consult the iRobot Home app for specific error messages or visit the iRobot support website.
