Fill the Robot
• Filling the tank is required for Wet Mopping or Damp Sweeping. When wet mopping,
you may add Cleaning Solution to the tank before adding water. This product is
aconcentrate. Refer to theinstructions on the bottle and use the proper amount.
• Lift the robot handle to find the tank cap. Then lift andtwist the cap open.
• To fill the tank completely, tilt the robot so that the front left corner is pointing
downwards and the tank opening is the highest point. Fill slowly with warm
water. If you are using the Braava jet®Hard Floor Cleaning Solution, add
thesolution firstand then fill the tankwith water.
• Turn the cap back and close it. Then lower the robot handle before starting
therobot.

Important: Braava jet®Hard
Floor Cleaning Solution is
the only solution that can
be safely used in your robot
mop. Please do not use other
cleaning solutions.

How Braava jet®Navigates
*Based on a room with 25% of the floor
occupied by objects, furniture and rugs.
Braava jet is designed to intelligently
navigate and clean rooms up to
200 ft2(20 m2) while wet mopping and
up to 250 ft (25 m) while damp and
dry sweeping.*
• The robot starts by cleaning to the
right until it encounters a wall or other
barrier.
• When wet mopping or damp sweeping,
Braava jet repeats the first line twice to
achieve the optimal wetness of the pad
before it cleans the rest of the room.
• 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 when the
cleaning job is done.
- 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.
Lift up floor-length curtains before
running Braava jet.
• 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.
• Braava jet creates a new map every
time it cleans.

Using Virtual Wall®Mode
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.
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.
Braava jet®Owner’s Guide 13
EN

• 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.
