iRobot Roomba 500 Series
 
Cleaning Modes
Roomba will clean based on the cleaning mode you select. Roomba has 
three cleaning modes.
Clean Mode 
(all models)
Roomba automatically calculates the room size and adjusts its cleaning 
time appropriately. 
Spot Mode 
(all models)
 
Roomba will spiral approximately three feet in diameter and then spiral 
back to where it started, intensely cleaning a localized area. 
 
Scheduled Cleaning Mode 
(Models 550 and above)
When a future cleaning time is programmed, Roomba enters Scheduled 
Cleaning Mode. When scheduled to clean, Roomba will occasionally flash 
its next cleaning time to remind you of its schedule. At the specified time, 
Roomba leaves its Home Base, cleans, and then returns to the Home 
Base to recharge when it’s done.
