iRobot Braava Jet M6 Robot Mop

ABOUT iRobot

iRobot is an American technology company that specializes in the development and manufacturing of consumer robots. The company was founded in 1990 by Rodney Brooks, Colin Angle, and Helen Greiner, who were researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). iRobot is known for its innovative robot vacuum cleaners, including the popular Roomba series.

The Roomba is a line of autonomous robotic vacuum cleaners designed to clean floors without human intervention. These robots use a combination of sensors, algorithms, and brushes to navigate through a home, detect dirt and debris, and clean effectively. Over the years, iRobot has introduced several models with various features and capabilities, such as mapping technology, Wi-Fi connectivity, and advanced navigation systems.

Apart from robot vacuums, iRobot has expanded its product portfolio to include other robotic devices. One notable example is the Braava series, which consists of mopping robots designed to clean hard floors. These robots use a wet or dry cleaning method, depending on the model, and employ similar navigation and sensing technologies as the Roomba.

Using Your Braava jet® m6 Robot Mop

Cleaning

Use your robot frequently to maintain well-conditioned floors.

• Your robot will automatically explore and clean your home, moving in a methodical manner across the floor, with some overlap from one pass to the next to ensure that every spot on the floor is cleaned three times. If you are looking for a quicker clean or a deeper clean than this default setting, or if you want to adjust the amount of water sprayed, you can change your cleaning preferences from the iRobot HOME App.
• Your robot will return to the charging station at the end of a cleaning job, whenever it needs to recharge, or when the tank needs to be refilled.
  Note: If the “CLEAN” text is pulsing while charging, your robot is in the middle of a cleaning job and will automatically resume where it left off once recharged.
• To send the robot back to its charging station, tap (home). A blue light ring pattern will indicate that the robot is seeking the charging station. This feature will only work if your robot started the job from the charging station.
• When the robot senses its tank needs to be filled, the light ring indicator will illuminate in a red sweeping motion toward the lid latch.
• Clean smaller designated areas (3.3 ft2 /1 m2) by placing your robot at the bottom center of the space you’d like to focus on. Tap (spot clean) to start cleaning.

Tips for Optimizing Performance

• Your robot works best when used with the iRobot HOME App.
• For optimal mopping performance, we recommend that you vacuum first to pick up large dirt and debris before running Braava jet®.
• Your robot will only run with Braava jet® m Series pads, which are made specifically for Braava jet® m Series robots.
• Use a new pad for each cleaning job, and do not pre-wet the pads prior to use.
• Keep your charging station plugged in and the area around it clear of clutter.
• You can use a Dual Mode Virtual Wall® Barrier to help keep your robot in places you want to be cleaned, and out of the ones you don’t. (Sold separately)
• Within the iRobot HOME App, you can adjust cleaning preferences to modify cleaning power, speed, and coverage.

Charging

• Slide your robot onto the charging station contacts to activate the battery.
  Note: Your robot comes with a partial charge, but we recommend that you charge the robot for 3 hours prior to starting the first cleaning job.
• The light ring indicator will show the current charging status. This will turn off after 1 minute to save power, but can be shown again if you press CLEAN. This can also been seen in the iRobot HOME App.
• Your robot uses a small amount of power whenever it is on the charging station. You can put the robot in a further-reduced power state when not in use. For instructions and more details on this Reduced Power Standby Mode, refer to the iRobot HOME App.
• For long-term storage, turn off your robot by removing it from the charging station and holding down (home) for 10 seconds. Store your robot in a cool, dry place.
