Setup
- Unpack the Robot: Remove all packaging materials from the robot and its accessories.
- Install Side Brushes and Mopping Pad: Attach the side brushes and the microfiber mopping pad if they are not already installed. Ensure the mopping pad is securely fastened.
- Position the Charging Station: Place the docking station against a wall in an open, uncluttered area. Ensure there is at least 0.5 meters (1.5 feet) of clear space on either side and 1.2 meters (4 feet) in front of the station. Plug the charging adapter into the station and a power outlet.
- Charge the Robot: Place the robot onto the charging station. The robot will emit a tone to confirm it is charging. Allow the robot to fully charge before its first use (approximately 3-4 hours).
- Download the Roomba Home App: For full functionality, download the iRobot Roomba Home app from your device's app store. Follow the in-app instructions to connect your robot to your home's 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network. This enables smart mapping, scheduling, and advanced cleaning options.
The Roomba Home app allows you to configure cleaning schedules, suction power, and mopping levels.
Operating Instructions
Starting a Cleaning Cycle
- Manual Start: Press the CLEAN button on the robot to start a cleaning cycle.
- App Control: Use the Roomba Home app to start, pause, or stop cleaning. You can also schedule cleanings and customize settings.
- Voice Control: Connect your robot to compatible voice assistants like Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, or Siri for hands-free control.
Cleaning Modes and Features
- Vacuum and Mop: The robot performs both vacuuming (15,000 Pa suction) and mopping simultaneously. It covers up to 83 m² per charge.
- ClearView LiDAR Navigation: The robot maps your rooms and cleans in neat, efficient rows, even in low-light conditions.
- Edge and Corner Cleaning: An extended mopping pad and a side brush are designed to clean along baseboards and into corners.
- SmartScrub Mopping: This feature provides 2 times deeper mopping for stubborn dirt and stains.
- Customizable Cleaning: Through the app, select between 1 or 2 cleaning passes, 4 levels of suction power, and 3 levels of mopping water.
- No-Mop Zones: Define specific areas in the app where the robot should not mop, protecting carpets and rugs.
- Spot Cleaning: Direct the robot to clean specific small areas, such as spills or mud tracks, without a full cleaning cycle.
The robot vacuums and mops simultaneously for comprehensive floor cleaning.
The extended mop and side brush ensure thorough cleaning of edges and corners.
Automatic Recharging and Resuming
When the cleaning cycle is complete or the battery runs low, the robot will automatically return to its charging station. If a cleaning job is interrupted due to low battery, the robot will recharge and then resume cleaning from where it left off.
The robot automatically returns to its base for recharging and resumes cleaning.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures your iRobot Roomba 115 Combo operates at peak performance. Follow these guidelines:
- Empty the Dust Bin: Empty the dust bin after each cleaning cycle or as needed.
- Clean the Filter: Tap the filter to remove debris. Replace the filter every 3-6 months, or more frequently if you have pets.
- Wash the Mopping Pad: Remove the microfiber mopping pad after each use and wash it. Allow it to air dry completely before reattaching.
- Clean Brushes: Regularly remove hair and debris from the anti-tangle brushes and side brush. Replace brushes every 3-6 months.
- Clean Sensors: Wipe the robot's sensors with a clean, dry cloth to ensure proper navigation and anti-fall functionality.
The washable microfiber mopping pad effectively removes stains and footprints.
