3. Installation
3.1 Chargement de la batterie
- Place the Home Base® charging station on a hard, level surface against a wall. Ensure there are no obstacles within 3 feet (1 meter) of either side of the Home Base and 4 feet (1.2 meters) in front of it.
- Branchez le cordon d'alimentation à la base de connexion, puis à une prise murale.
- Place your Roomba onto the Home Base, ensuring the metal charging contacts on the robot align with those on the Home Base. The battery indicator will pulse to show it's charging.
- Allow Roomba to charge for at least 3 hours before its first use. A full charge provides approximately 90 minutes of cleaning time.

4. Mode d'emploi
4.1 Démarrage d'un cycle de nettoyage
To start a cleaning cycle, simply press the large FAIRE LE MÉNAGE button located on the top of your Roomba. The robot will automatically begin cleaning and navigate your home. It uses a patented 3-stage cleaning system to loosen, lift, and suction debris from various floor types.

4.2 Amarrage automatique
When the battery is low or when Roomba completes its cleaning cycle, it will automatically return to its Home Base to recharge. Ensure the Home Base remains plugged in and accessible for the robot to dock successfully.

4.3 Cliff Detection
The Roomba 640 is equipped with cliff sensors that prevent it from falling down stairs or other drop-offs. It will detect edges and change direction to avoid them.

5. Entretien
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your Roomba 640.
5.1 Vider la poubelle
Empty the dust bin after each cleaning cycle. Press the bin release button, slide out the bin, and open the bin door to discard debris. Tap the bin to remove excess dirt.
5.2 Nettoyage du filtre
The AeroVac™ Filter should be cleaned regularly by tapping it against a trash can to remove dust. Replace the filter every 2-3 months, or more frequently if you have pets. An extra filter is included with your purchase.
5.3 brosses de nettoyage
Periodically remove and clean the main brushes and side brush. Use the cleaning tool (if included) to remove hair and debris wrapped around the brushes. Ensure the brush bearings are also free of debris.
5.4 Nettoyage des capteurs et des contacts de charge
Wipe the cliff sensors, wall-following sensor, and charging contacts on both the robot and Home Base with a clean, dry cloth. This prevents dirt buildup from affecting performance.
