About Your Clean Base™ Automatic Dirt Disposal
The Clean Base™ Automatic Dirt Disposal is designed to work with your Roomba® j7 robot vacuum. While cleaning, your robot will automatically return to the Clean Base to empty its bin and recharge as needed.
The Clean Base's LED indicator will turn solid red when a new bag is needed. If a clog is detected, the Clean Base will attempt to clear the clog automatically.
Note: If you place your robot on the Clean Base by hand, it will not empty automatically. Use the iRobot HOME App or hold the Clean button on your robot for 2-5 seconds to manually empty the bin.
Positioning the Clean Base™ Automatic Dirt Disposal
For optimal performance, ensure the following placement guidelines are met:
- Good Wi-Fi® Coverage
- 1 ft (0.3 m) above
- 1.5 ft (0.5 m) on both sides
- 4 ft (1.2 m) in front
- 4 ft (1.2 m) away from stairs
Note: Do not place your Clean Base Automatic Dirt Disposal in direct sunlight. Ensure the area around the dock is free of clutter to improve docking performance.
WARNING: To prevent the risk of your robot falling downstairs, ensure that the charging station is placed at least 4 feet (1.2 meters) away from stairs.
