Setting Up for Single-Room Cleaning
- Ensure that your iRobot Roomba is fully charged. A fully charged Roomba is essential for efficient cleaning.
- If your Roomba uses a virtual wall or lighthouse, position it at the doorway of the room you want to clean. This device helps to contain the Roomba in a particular area.
Using the Roomba's Clean Button
- Place the Roomba in the center of the room you want to clean. This ensures that it starts cleaning in the desired area.
- Press the "Clean" button on your Roomba. This starts the cleaning process in the designated room.
- While the Roomba operates, the virtual wall or lighthouse border will keep it confined to the specific room.
Using the iRobot Home App
- Download and install the iRobot Home app on your smartphone, if you haven't done so already.
- Connect your Roomba to the app via Wi-Fi by following the in-app instructions. Ensure your Roomba is on the same network as your phone.
- Open the app and select the option for cleaning a specific room. Note that not all Roomba models support single-room cleaning via the app.
- Choose the room you want the Roomba to clean. You can schedule a cleaning session or start it immediately from the app.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
- If Roomba leaves the room, check the placement and batteries of virtual walls or lighthouses. Replace batteries if necessary and ensure proper alignment.
- Verify that the Roomba model supports single-room cleaning if using the app. Some older models may not have this feature.
- Reset your Roomba and reconfigure the Wi-Fi settings if it doesn't connect to the app. A restart often resolves connectivity issues.
