Introducing the Roomba Pro Pro Elite FloorVac

Welcome to the next generation of Roomba innovation and convenience. The new Roomba Pro and Roomba Pro Elite Robotic FloorVacs have all the great features of the original Roomba, plus many improvements. Roomba Pro and Pro Elite are easier to use and maintain, and feature new ways to clean what you want, where you want, and when you want —

at the touch of a button.

Your Roomba Pro Pro Elite FloorVac is a hard-working, robotic floor-cleaning appliance that eliminates the need to push it or follow it around. It keeps your hard-surface floors and low- to medium-pile carpets barefoot clean with a unique three-stage cleaning process. Roomba effectively cleans most common household floor surfaces with little or no human supervision.

How Roomba cleans a room

When Roomba starts a typical cleaning cycle it first travels around the floor in a spiral pattern (see Figure 1). Its Non-Marring Bumper will contact a wall, or it may try to find a wall after spiraling for a while. Roomba follows the wall for a short period of time, using its spinning, Edge-Cleaning Side Brush to move debris away from the wall and into the Vacuum’s path. After cleaning along a portion of the wall or other object, Roomba crisscrosses the room in straight lines. For most of Roomba’s cleaning cycles, Roomba repeats this cleaning pattern until its cleaning time has elapsed, providing maximum coverage

of the room. In new Spot Cleaning mode (new in Pro and Pro Elite), Roomba cleans a 3-foot-diameter area using a slow, high-efficiency spiral pattern. This pattern allows Roomba to focus intense cleaning over a

Roomba Pro Elite also contains:

9.Five (5) wall anchors for installing the Wall Mount Unit

10.Five (5) screws for screwing into wall anchors or directly into wood, for installing the Wall Mount Unit

Remove your Roomba from its protective plastic bag and turn it upside down, so the wheels are facing up. You will notice a protective cardboard sheath enclosing the Edge-Cleaning Side Brush (see Figure 2). Carefully disengage the cardboard sheath and twist ties from the black, flexible Side Brush, being careful to protect the Side Brush from damage. Turn your Roomba back over.
