OWNER’S MANUAL

Dear Scooba Owner

Congratulations and welcome to the world of iRobot! You have joined the growing number of people who have discovered a smarter way to clean.

iRobot Scooba is an innovative and easy-to-use product that will change the way you clean hard ﬂoors. Scooba frees you to manage other household tasks while it cleans, so you can wash your hard ﬂoors more frequently and get more done.

Thank you for joining the iRobot revolution. We look forward to bringing you more groundbreaking products that will change and improve your world.

On behalf of the entire iRobot team,

Colin Angle Chairman, CEO and Co-founder, iRobot Corporation

Looking after your iRobot Scooba

For best results, use it often! Scooba is designed to work with only Scooba Hard Floor Cleaning Solution or plain tap water. Never use bleach in Scooba! After every use, rinse the tank, ﬁlter, and vacuum port. The brushes do a lot of the hard work, so it’s best to take them out and remove the hair and ﬂuff that collect around these.

Your Scooba is pretty smart in getting around, but it does need a little help. Before cleaning, sweep up large debris and clear away any clutter, furniture and lightweight rugs. General dust, dirt and grime are what it’s there for, but avoid large liquid spills.

Extend the battery life by recharging it as soon as possible and storing your Scooba plugged in. For long-term storage, charge battery, then remove and store the battery in a cool, dry place.

*Safety ﬁrst* As your Scooba contains electrical parts, don’t submerge or spray it with water – clean with a damp cloth only.

CAUTION: DO NOT USE SCOOBA ON THESE SURFACES:

Carpet or rugs, unsealed hardwood, waxed ﬂoors, or laminate ﬂooring
