Cleaning Brushes and Wheels

Regularly check the side cleaning brush and dual multi-surface rubber brushes for hair tangles or debris. The AeroForce cleaning system is designed to minimize tangles, but occasional cleaning ensures optimal performance. Also, check the omni-directional wheel and spring-loaded wheels for any obstructions.

Troubleshooting

For common issues, refer to the iRobot Home App's messages section for alerts and tips.

• Bin Full Behavior: Configure whether the robot should stop or continue cleaning when its bin is full via the app settings.
• Obstacle Detection: Ensure obstacle detection is set to "Automatic" in the app settings for optimal navigation.
• Connectivity Issues: If the robot is not connecting to Wi-Fi, check your network settings and ensure the robot is within range. You may need to reboot the robot via the app settings.
• Physical Obstructions: Clear any large objects, cords, or pet waste from the cleaning path to prevent the robot from getting stuck or spreading messes.
