How iRobot Braava jet™ Cleans

Braava jet is designed to intelligently navigate and clean typical kitchens and bathrooms each time it runs, up to 150 ft

while wet mopping and up to 200 ft2 while damp

and dry sweeping.*

Where to Place the Robot in a Room

Place the robot in the lower left of the area you want it to clean. The robot will systematically clean the area to the right and in front of where it started.

• The robot will start by cleaning to the right until it encounters a wall or other barrier.

• When the robot has cleaned as far as it can to the right, the robot will continue to the area in front and to the right of where it started.

• The robot will stop cleaning and will return to where it started once it has cleaned an entire enclosed space or has cleaned up to 150 ft

200 ft

while damp and dry sweeping.

*Tested in iRobot’s Home Test Lab on hard ﬂoors in damp/dry mode.

How iRobot Braava jet™ Cleans

• Braava jet does not spray furniture or walls. Before the robot sprays, it will back up to ensure it’s only spraying a portion of the ﬂoor it knows is clear.

• As Braava jet ﬁnds edges, chair legs, and other obstacles, it will clean around them and then return to its original path and resume cleaning.

• After Braava jet has cleaned the entire space, it ﬁnishes the job by cleaning along edges, walls, furniture, and other obstacles a second time.

• Once Braava jet ﬁnishes its cleaning job, it returns to where it started, plays a tone so you know it’s done, and powers o.

• Braava jet creates a new map every time it cleans.

24 For Customer Care go to www.irobot.com/support

iRobot Braava jet adjusts its cleaning pattern based on the cleaning pad you choose.

• When you attach a Braava jet Wet Mopping Pad or Washable Wet Mopping Pad (blue), Braava jet mops your ﬂoors with triple-pass coverage, moving similarly

to how you would mop yourself. The robot drives forward a short distance to one side, backs up slightly, then moves forward to the other side. It alternates to the left and right as it progresses through the room, providing triple-pass coverage of each section of your ﬂoor.

• With a Braava jet Damp Sweeping Pad (orange), Braava jet cleans your ﬂoors with gentle yet thorough double-pass cleaning. It ﬁrst drives forward a short distance and then backs up in a straight line, continuing this back and forth pattern as it cleans the area.

• When you attach a Braava jet Dry Sweeping Pad (white), Braava jet swiftly moves forward in a straight line for single-pass coverage of the area.

Braava jet™ Owner’s Guide 25

How iRobot Braava jet™ Cleans

Creating an Invisible Barrier

You can create an invisible barrier with the Virtual Wall

Mode so that the robot

will avoid cleaning part of a room or a dierent ﬂoor type.

• Begin with the robot powered o. When placing the robot, note that the invisible line will be created in line with the back of the robot.

• To activate Virtual Wall Mode, start with a powered-o robot and press and hold the CLEAN button until two blue lines appear on the top of the robot. The blue lines will indicate that the Virtual Wall Mode has been activated.

• Once in Virtual Wall Mode, the robot will mark an invisible boundary in its internal map, extending out to each side (see illustration). As the robot cleans your ﬂoor, it will not go beyond the invisible line.

• Once the robot is in place, just press CLEAN to start the job.

• Virtual Wall Mode will turn o automatically when the robot completes its job. To manually clear a Virtual Wall Mode cleaning cycle and turn o the robot, press and hold the CLEAN button until all indicators turn o.

Cleaning Tip: You can also use

Virtual Wall Mode to divide a larger room into smaller areas to help Braava jet clean more eciently.

Tips for Best Performance

General Cleaning Tips

• For best results, use a Dry Sweeping Pad or vacuum to pick up dirt and dust before running your robot with a Wet Mopping or Damp Sweeping Pad.

• To pause your robot during a cleaning cycle, press the CLEAN button. To resume the cleaning cycle, press the CLEAN button again.

• Do not pick up and move your robot while it is cleaning – the robot will end its cleaning run if you do.

• Always ﬁll Braava jet to the top with water and check for any air bubbles before closing the tank cap.

• Only use water inside your robot. Cleaning solutions, even natural ones, can clog the spray nozzle and break down the materials inside the robot.

• Your robot will only run with Braava jet Pads, which are speciﬁcally made for the robot.

• Braava jet cleans best on smooth hard surfaces and may not perform as well on uneven tiles, heavily waxed ﬂoors or rough surfaces like slate or brick which may snag the cleaning pads.
