Vacuum Cleaning Robot

700 series Owner’s Manual

Dear Roomba owner,

How to get started

Thank you for choosing a new generation iRobot Roomba vacuum cleaning robot. You’re joining a very special community of people - 5 million worldwide and growing - who are discovering just how useful, convenient and straightforward having a home robot is. In fact, owners tend to like their Roomba so much they’ve even given them nicknames.

Before you first use your Roomba, turn it upside down and remove the battery pull tab. To set the clock see page 7. Use the Home Base™ to charge the battery overnight.

We’re passionate about our robots too. Not surprisingly, given that making robots is all we’ve ever done in the 20 odd years of our existence.

Preparing your cleaning area

Now, you’re probably itching to give your Roomba a go, but it’s worth having a quick read of this manual first. That way it will be even easier to use and save you even more time. I hope you will have many enjoyable experiences with your Roomba and on behalf of all the team thank you for choosing iRobot.

Setting Roomba up

First, set up the Home Base™. To keep your Roomba on track, set up Virtual Walls or Auto Virtual Walls, which block off areas, or Virtual Wall® Lighthouses™ (models 780 and above only), to enable room-to-room cleaning.

Best Wishes Colin Angle Chairman, CEO and Co-Founder, iRobot Corporation

Looking after your iRobot Roomba Every little bit helps

If you have one, set up your Wireless Command Center or your Remote Control. Otherwise, just start up your Roomba manually:

For best results, use it often! After every use, empty the bin and clean the filter. The brushes do a lot of the hard work, so just like a hair brush, every week or so it’s best to take them out and remove the hair and fluff that collect around these, and under the brush bearings (see diagrams in Essential Maintenance section). Extend the battery life by recharging it as soon as possible and storing your Roomba plugged in. For long-term storage, remove and store the battery in a cool, dry place. *Safety first* As your Roomba contains electrical parts, don’t submerge or spray it with water – clean with a dry cloth only. Before using your product for the first time please refer to the important safety instructions towards the end of this manual.

Getting started | Looking after your Roomba

Your Roomba is pretty smart in getting around, but it does need a little help. Carpet tassels aren’t a problem, but clear away any clutter and loose cables. General dust, dirt and grime are what it’s there for, but avoid anything wet.

• Press CLEAN once to turn it on. You’ll hear a beep and the CLEAN button will light up. To set the clock see page 7. • Press CLEAN again to start a cleaning cycle. • When on the Home Base, simply press CLEAN. • To pause while cleaning, press CLEAN. • To resume, press CLEAN again. • To turn off, press and hold the CLEAN button until the lights turn off. Then just walk away and let your Roomba get to work.

Cleaning Modes and Pattern

Virtual Wall® Optional accessory for all models.

Roomba 700 Series has 3 cleaning modes you can select:

• Each Virtual Wall needs two C alkaline batteries (not included).

Clean Mode – Roomba automatically calculates the room size and adjusts its cleaning time appropriately.

• You can set the Virtual Walls to block an opening of up to 7 feet (2 meters). It creates a cone shape barrier, so the beam gradually gets wider.

Roomba uses iAdapt™ Responsive Cleaning Technology, an advanced, proprietary system of software and sensors. iAdapt allows Roomba to actively monitor the cleaning environment more than 60 times per second and respond with over 40 different mobility behaviors to clean the room more thoroughly.

Spot Mode – Roomba will spiral approximately 3 feet (1 meter) in diameter and then spiral back to where it started – an intense, localized clean for those quick fixes.

• For best results, place the Virtual Wall on the outside of the doorway you want to block. Point the arrows on the top t
