Where to Place the Robot in a Room
Place the robot in the lower left of the area you want it to clean.
The robot will systematically clean the area to the right and in front of where
it started.
• The robot will start by cleaning to the right until it encounters a wall
or other barrier.
• When the robot has cleaned as far as it can to the right, the robot will
continue to the area in front and to the right of where it started.
• The robot will stop cleaning and will return to where it started once it has cleaned
an entire enclosed space or has cleaned up to 150 ft2 while wet mopping or up to
200 ft2 while damp and dry sweeping.
Braava jet is designed to intelligently navigate and clean
typical kitchens and bathrooms each time it runs, up to
150 ft2 while wet mopping and up to 200 ft2 while damp
and dry sweeping.*

iRobot Braava jet adjusts its cleaning pattern based on the
cleaning pad you choose.
• When you attach a Braava jet Wet Mopping Pad or Washable Wet Mopping Pad
(blue), Braava jet mops your floors with triple-pass coverage, moving similarly
to how you would mop yourself. The robot drives forward a short distance to one
side, backs up slightly, then moves forward to the other side. It alternates to the
left and right as it progresses through the room, providing triple-pass coverage
of each section of your floor.
• With a Braava jet Damp Sweeping Pad (orange), Braava jet cleans your floors
with gentle yet thorough double-pass cleaning. It first drives forward a short dis-
tance and then backs up in a straight line, continuing this back and forth pattern
as it cleans the area.
• When you attach a Braava jet Dry Sweeping Pad (white), Braava jet swiftly
moves forward in a straight line for single-pass coverage of the area.
• Braava jet does not spray furniture or walls. Before the robot sprays, it will back up to
ensure it’s only spraying a portion of the floor it knows is clear.
• As Braava jet finds edges, chair legs, and other obstacles, it will clean around them
and then return to its original path and resume cleaning.
• After Braava jet has cleaned the entire space, it finishes the job by cleaning along
edges, walls, furniture, and other obstacles a second time.
• Once Braava jet finishes its cleaning job, it returns to where it started, plays
a tone so you know it’s done, and powers o.
• Braava jet creates a new map every time it cleans.

Creating an Invisible Barrier
You can create an invisible barrier with the Virtual Wall® Mode so that the robot
will avoid cleaning part of a room or a dierent floor type.
• Begin with the robot powered o. When placing the robot, note that the invisible line
will be created in line with the back of the robot.
• To activate Virtual Wall Mode, start with a powered-o robot and press and hold the
CLEAN button until two blue lines appear on the top of the robot. The blue lines will
indicate that the Virtual Wall Mode has been activated.
• Once in Virtual Wall Mode, the robot will mark an invisible boundary in its internal
map, extending out to each side (see illustration). As the robot cleans your floor, it
will not go beyond the invisible line.
• Once the robot is in place, just press CLEAN to start the job.
• Virtual Wall Mode will turn o automatically when the robot completes its job. To
manually clear a Virtual Wall Mode cleaning cycle and turn o the robot, press
and hold the CLEAN button until all indicators turn o.
Cleaning Tip: You can also use
Virtual Wall Mode to divide a
larger room into smaller areas
to help Braava jet clean more
eciently.

Tips for Best Performance
General Cleaning Tips
• For best results, use a Dry Sweeping Pad or vacuum to pick up dirt and dust
before running your robot with a Wet Mopping or Damp Sweeping Pad.
• To pause your robot during a cleaning cycle, press the CLEAN button.
To resume the cleaning cycle, press the CLEAN button again.
• Do not pick up and move your robot while it is cleaning – the robot will
end its cleaning run if you do.
• Always fill Braava jet to the top with water and check for any air
bubbles before closing the tank cap.
• Only use water inside your robot. Cleaning solutions, even natural ones, can
clog the spray nozzle and break down the materials inside the robot.
• Your robot will only run with Braava jet Pads, which are specifically made
for the robot.
• Braava jet cleans best on smooth hard surfaces and may not perform as well on
uneven tiles, heavily waxed floors or rough surfaces like slate or brick which may
snag the cleaning pads.
