[. . . ] Snap new Filter into Filter Door Frame as shown (Figure 10c). Cleaning the Vacuum Inlet Figure 9a-b: Reinstalling the Filter Door. Glide the Filter Door into grooves (Figure 9a), and snap the Filter Door into place (Figure 9b). CLICK! 10 NOTE: Always carry Roomba by its handle and never tilt it forward, as debris may spill out of the particle bin. Over time, debris will accumulate in the Vacuum Inlet. Empty the Vacuum Inlet every 10 floor cleanings at minimum to keep air flowing through it, especially if you notice a decline in Roomba's cleaning performance. Turn Roomba's Main Power Switch to the Off position. Place Roomba upside down (cleaning surface up) on a flat surface. Insert finger into the Release Tab of the Vacuum Inlet Lid and pull upward to remove the Lid (Figure 11). Shake the debris into a trash receptacle. Turn the Vacuum Impeller, the fan-shaped mechanism on the left side of the Vacuum Inlet, with your finger to make sure that it spins freely. Replace the Vacuum Inlet Lid, pressing down on all four white circles on the Lid to ensure complete re-installation. Figure 11: Removing the Vacuum Inlet Lid. 11 12 13 Cleaning the Main Brushes It is important that you regularly remove and clean the Brushes of your Roomba. Debris can accumulate around the Brushes and the brush ends, or axles, causing a decrease in cleaning ability and potentially damaging the unit. In most households it's a good idea to clean the Brushes after every ten floor cleanings. In houses with pets or long hair, clean the Brushes after every five floor cleanings. Note that the Cleaning Brush axles cannot be checked without removing the Brushes from Roomba. It is a simple process that you will master quickly with a little practice. 4. Pull the Brush Coupler off the end of the Brushes, then pull the Brushes to the right and up, free of the device (Figure 12d). Clean any hair or other debris off the Brushes. Clean any debris from around the Brush ends, or axles (Figure 13). Figure 13: Clean and remove any debris built up or wound around the ends and metal axles of both Brushes. Reassembling the Brushes 1. Put the Self-Adjusting Cleaning Deck back together by inserting the square ends of the two Brushes into the square sockets in the Cleaning Deck. Insert the other ends of the Brushes into the small holes in the Brush Coupler. Lower the Brush Coupler into its slot and screw in the screw. Swing the Wire Guards back in place and snap them down into their slots. Figure 12a-b: Unlatch the Wire Guards by pushing each of the two Release Tabs forward (away from you) while pushing down on the Wire Guards to elongate them, swinging the Wire Guards up and over the tabs. Once the Wire Guard has been freed from both Release Tabs, it can be swung up and away, exposing the Brushes. Maintaining the Edge-Cleaning Side Brush Periodically check the Edge-Cleaning Side Brush by spinning it to ensure debris has not built up underneath it.
