About your Auto Empty Base
The Auto Empty Base is designed to automatically empty and charge the iHome Autovac Nova. Plug the power cable into the back panel of the
Base and plug the other end in a functioning wall outlet. Place on a flat, hard surface at least 2.5 inches away from the wall. Ensure that there is a
clear space in front and both sides so that your Autovac Nova can return to Base to re-charge and empty.
2.5 inches from the wall
How to place your Auto Empty Base
NOTE: The Auto Empty Base must always remain connected
to power. Avoid using a power source that may inadvertent-
ly be switched off (e.g. power strip, outlet controlled by a
light switch, GFCI)

SETTING UP THE AUTOVAC NOVA 9
Step 1
Position the Nova on the floor near your Auto Empty Base. Press and
hold the Power button until the indicator turns blue. You will hear
a welcome message.

Nova will navigate and dock to the base. Allow Nova to fully charge
before first use.

alarmed. Dust collection frequency can be adjusted later in the iHome
Clean App.

GETTING STARTED 10
Understanding your iHome Autovac Nova
The iHome Autovac Nova is designed to automatically and
intelligently clean your home. Nova uses advanced laser scanning
technology and multiple sensors to form a navigational map so
that Nova can avoid obstructions and cliffs. Nova will continue to
clean until it has determined that the addressable floor area has
been covered. The navigational map is available to view in the
iHome Clean app and is updated during each clean cycle to ensure
that Nova takes any changes (moved furniture or other
obstructions) into account.
Once cleaning is finished or the battery is low, the Nova will
automatically return to the Auto Empty Base to charge and
automatically empty the contents of the dustbin.
NOTE: Connecting Nova to Wi-Fi is not required but highly
recommended. Using the iHome Clean app, you can follow the
steps below to connect your Nova. The app will let you manage
Nova from anywhere, set cleaning schedules, view intelligent room
maps, set virtual boundaries, view cleaning history and more!

USING YOUR AUTOVAC NOVA 12
Before using this product, please clear the floor of all objects other than furniture as some small objects may obstruct, get caught in,
or damage the iHome Autovac Nova.
First Cleaning and Home Mapping
After the first Auto-clean cycle Nova will create a virtual map of your home, viewable in the iHome Clean app. Using that map you
can define Areas and set Virtual Boundaries. Those Areas and Boundaries can then be used in any of your cleaning cycles and
schedules (eg avoid the “Baby Room” during a daytime clean, mop ONLY the “Kitchen”).
Use the included remote control, or the iHome Clean APP to control your preferred cleaning method. Once you have chosen your
preferred cleaning method, the Nova will start cleaning and will continue until it has covered the entire cleaning area, or until the
battery is low and needs to be re-charged. Once cleaning is finished, the Nova will automatically return back to the Auto Empty
Base to empty the dustbin. If a cleaning session was interrupted due to low battery, Nova will automatically resume cleaning once
the power has been sufficiently restored..
Cleaning Modes
Auto Clean - The Nova will automatically clean your floor until it has covered the entire surface. Once cleaning is finished or the
battery needs to be re-charged, the Nova will automatically return back to the Auto Empty Base to empty the Nova's dustbin and
charge or resume cleaning
Area Clean - Create customizable areas on your floor-plan within the iHome Clean App for your Nova to specifically clean or avoid.
Spot Clean - The Nova will focus on a specific spot you desire to have cleaned thoroughly. First, use the manual navigation
control on the remote (or in the app) to guide the Nova to the desired area. Then, choose Spot Clean mode.
Powermop - Attach the water tank attachment to the dustbin from the rear of the Nova. Choose Powermop in the iHome Clean
App or the included remote and the Nova will automatically mop the surface and return to the Auto Empty Base once complete.
Manual Control - Using the iHome Clean App or the included remote, you can manually control where the Nova goes.
