Starting a cleaning cycle
There are two ways to start a cleaning cycle with your Roomba robot. However it is important to know that your cleaning robot comes with a partial battery charge. If you are starting a cleaning cycle before fully charging the battery, it may return to the home base to recharge sooner compared to a full cleaning cycle.During one cleaning cycle, Roomba cleans your entire home. If the battery gets low before finishing a cleaning cycle, Roomba automatically returns to the home base to recharge itself. Once the battery has been charged, it resumes automatically, thus completing the cleaning cycle. In case the home base is inaccessible, Roomba won’t recharge and return to its starting location, thus completing a cycle.
To start a cleaning cycle, here are the steps you can follow:
- Open the iRobot Home app and press the Clean button
- Press Clean on the roomba robot once to wake it up. You can then press Clean again to start a cleaning cycle.
