3. Operating Instructions
The Roomba j7 is designed for intelligent and autonomous cleaning. Utilize its smart features for a customized cleaning experience.
Smart Cleaning Features:
- Smart Mapping: The robot learns your home's layout, allowing you to define specific rooms and areas for cleaning or to avoid.
- PrecisionVision Navigation: Identifies and avoids common obstacles such as pet waste, charging cords, and shoes. The robot can even send you photos of obstacles it encounters for future reference.
- Dirt Detect Technology: Focuses cleaning efforts on dirtier areas of your home, ensuring a thorough clean where it's needed most.
- Automatic Cleaning Schedules: Set the robot to clean automatically when you leave home and return to a clean space.

4. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures your Roomba j7 operates efficiently and extends its lifespan. The iRobot Home App can track the life of your robot's components and notify you when maintenance is needed.
Key Maintenance Tasks:
- Emptying the Dust Bin: The Roomba j7 can clean multiple rooms before its dust bin needs emptying. The bin is easily removed by pressing a button on the side, and another button opens it for disposal. The dust bin can be washed with warm water and soap.
- Cleaning the Filter: The filter should be tapped over a trash bin to clear it. Do not get the filter wet.
- Cleaning Brushes and Wheels: Periodically check and clean the dual multi-surface rubber brushes and the edge-sweeping brush to remove tangled hair or debris.
5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Roomba j7, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Robot stops and requests bin emptying, but bin is not full: This can occur if the dust sensor is obscured by pet hair or debris. Try cleaning the sensor. In the app, you can set the robot to run even if it thinks the bin is full, which may resolve this issue for homes with high pet hair volume.
- Robot does not detect or avoid pet waste: While the Roomba j7 is designed to avoid pet waste, occasional misses can occur. Ensure the camera lens is clean. If the issue persists, contact iRobot support as per the Pet Owner Official Promise.
- Robot gets stuck frequently: Ensure the area is clear of excessive clutter, loose cords, or small objects. The robot's sensors help it navigate, but a clear path is always best.
- Robot returns to base without finishing job: This can happen if the battery is low or if it encounters an unexpected obstacle. The robot will recharge and resume cleaning. Ensure sufficient lighting as the robot relies on light for navigation.
