A little maintenance goes a long way
To keep your Roomba working perfectly, it’s a good idea to do a little
maintenance regularly. In particular, please note the following:
• Look for the yellow parts – these are designed to be removed
and cleaned.
• You should empty the bin and clean the brushes after each use, if possible.
• Excessive hair build-up could permanently damage your Roomba or your floor,
so clean the brush bearings and brush caps regularly.
