with water. Clean with a dry cloth only.
For Best Performance
• Remove and clean Roomba’s brushes after every use.

• Use a Virtual Wall®(optional accessory) to keep Roomba cleaning where
you want it.
• Use your Roomba frequently.

performance:
• Always keep Roomba plugged in when not in use.
• Recharge Roomba as soon as possible. Waiting several days to
recharge Roomba can damage the battery.
• For storage off the charger, remove the battery from Roomba and store
in a cool, dry place.
• Blue or black batteries should be stored after Roomba has been
used.
