To keep Roomba running at peak performance, it is recommended that you

pull to remove bin
Empty bin
B. Remove brush caps and use scissors
to cut any hair wrapped around the
brush. Use the Roomba cleaning tool
to comb hair from brush.
C. Remove and clean hair and dirt from
Roomba’s brush bearings.
TIP: Bin emptying and brush cleaning should be done after every 3-5 cleaning
cycles depending on the amount of hair, dirt, and debris in your environment.
TIP: If you notice Roomba picking up less debris from your floor, empty the bin
and clean the brushes.
Do not attempt to run Roomba without the bearings. If you misplace
Roomba’s brush bearings, contact iRobot Customer Care for replacement
bearings.
Excessive build up of hair in Roomba’s brushes and bearings can
permanently damage Roomba. Inspect brush bearings regularly.
