Sweep and Mop Modes  
Braava sweeps and mops hard surface floors using readily available dry and  
wet cleaning cloths or the included reusable microfiber cloths.  
Braava is not a vacuum and is not intended for use on carpets.  
Sweep Mode  
Sweep mode is intended for cleaning with a dry cloth.  
In Sweep mode, Braava moves  
ahead in a straight line when it begins  
cleaning, then cleans back and forth  
in parallel lines.  
It is ideal for picking up dust, dirt and  
hair to maintain clean, grit-free floors  
every day.  
Mop Mode  
Mop mode is intended for cleaning with a wet cloth.  
In Mop mode, Braava drives forward  
a short distance to one side, backs  
up slightly then moves forward to the  
other side, alternating to the left and  
right as it progresses.  
This mopping action helps dissolve  
and pick up the deeper dirt and grime  
on your floors.  
Braava automatically adjusts to a smaller  
cleaning area in Mop mode to optimize  
cleaning while the cloth is wet.  
TIP: Start with dry Sweep mode to pick up surface grit and then follow  
with a wet cloth in mopping mode to get a deeper clean.

Cleaning Cloths  
Disposable Cloths  
For use only with the Multi-Purpose Cleaning Pad.  
• Braava is compatible with most disposable dry and pre-moistened  
cleaning cloths such as Swiffer® brand and store brands like Target®.  
• Always follow the use and care instructions included with any dry or wet  
cleaning cloths to care for your floors.  
• Please note that Braava is not compatible with Swiffer® WetJet® Refills.  
Microfiber Cloths  
Braava’s specially designed microfiber cloths can be rewashed and reused.  
• White cloths are for dry sweeping with the Multi-Purpose Cleaning Pad.  
• Blue textured cloths are for mopping and can be used with either the  
Pro-Clean Reservoir Pad or the Multi-Purpose Cleaning Pad. Dampen  
cloth before use.  
NOTICE: Wet cloths may not be suitable for cleaning unsealed  
floors. Ask your flooring manufacturer or installer if you are unsure  
whether damp mopping is safe for your floor.  
Floor Types  
• Braava is designed to clean hard surface floors including wood, tile, vinyl,  
linoleum and laminate.  
• Braava cleans best on smooth hard surfaces and may not perform on  
uneven tiles, heavily waxed floors or rough surfaces like slate or brick  
which can snag the cleaning cloth.  
NOTICE: Braava is not intended to pick up large debris. Before  
cleaning with Braava, pick up large debris and check for gravel or sharp  
objects that could scratch the floor if captured under the cleaning pad.

How Braava Cleans  
Braava intelligently cleans your floor by mapping the room as it cleans.  
Cleaning Cycle  
• Braava cleans your home in sections, first cleaning areas to its right and  
later returning to areas to its left.  
• When the open areas in each section are complete, Braava cleans along  
edges of furniture and walls before moving on.  
• When finished, Braava returns to where it started and parks itself.  
Cleaning Pattern  
• In open areas, Braava methodically cleans back  
and forth across your floor.  
• As Braava encounters chair legs, furniture and  
other obstacles, it cleans around them and  
continues its cleaning pattern.  
• Braava detects stairs and will maneuver away  
from drop offs and back to the cleaning area.  
As a safety precaution, open ledges or  
balconies with a drop of 2 feet or more  
should be blocked off with a physical barrier.  
• Braava also detects area rugs and raised transitions  
to carpet so it can avoid driving on to them.  
Note: If your carpet is flush with your hard surface floor,  
you may need to add a temporary barrier to provide Braava  
a boundary it can detect.  
• Braava follows along walls and edges as it  
encountersthemandasitcompleteseachsection  
it cleans.

Quick Clean Mode  
• Cleans 30% faster by focusing cleaning on open areas.  
• Activate by holding the Sweep or Mop button for 3 seconds.  
You will hear a single beep followed by the “start cleaning” song.  
• Braava typically cleans the same total area as the standard detailed  
cleaning mode, but will skip detailed cleaning around furniture and some  
walls to save time.  
Pause / Resume  
Braava will automatically pause if you pick it up or press any button  
while cleaning.  
• The cleaning mode button will flash blue to indicate the cleaning cycle  
is paused. While paused, Braava will save the map of the area it has  
already cleaned.  
To resume cleaning, place Braava within 6 feet of the Cube where it  
originally started, facing in the same general direction it started.  
• Press the flashing cleaning mode button.  
• Braava will start cleaning while it determines its position on the map.  
Once it confirms its position, it will drive to an area not yet covered and  
continue cleaning.  
• Braava may re-clean an area already covered or explore new areas of  
cleaning while determining its position on the map.  
• If you resume Braava where you paused it, it may take longer for the  
cleaner to determine its position depending on its distance from the Cube.  
To exit Pause and quit the cleaning cycle, power Braava off by holding the  
power button for 2 seconds.  
Note: Braava can only be paused after it has locked onto the NorthStar  
Navigation Cube at the beginning of the cleaning cycle.

®
NorthStar Navigation  
The NorthStar Navigation Cube acts as a beacon, emitting a signal that  
guides Braava’s cleaning.  
Connecting to the NorthStar Navigation Cube  
• Once Braava starts cleaning, it tries to establish a connection to the  
NorthStar Navigation Cube, indicated by one flashing blue light on the  
Navigation System Indicator. Once Braava has locked onto the Cube,  
Braava’s lights turn solid blue.  
• The Navigation System Indicator also indicates Braava’s range. As Braava  
gets to the edge of its range (such as going out of the room or far from the  
NorthStar Navigation Cube) the number of lights will go down.  
• Braava may occasionally drive back toward the NorthStar Navigation  
Cube to confirm its position before continuing on its cleaning path.  
• Braava builds a new map each time it starts a new cleaning cycle,  
but retains its map if paused during the cleaning cycle.  
Cleaning without a NorthStar Navigation Cube  
• Because the Cube is just one part of the Navigation System, Braava can  
still clean without a NorthStar signal present, however the cleaning area  
will be much smaller and Braava will not be able to perform edge cleaning  
in each section.  
Cleaning with multiple NorthStar Navigation Cubes:  
(For Braava 380t ONLY):  
• Braava can use multiple NorthStar Cubes to clean up to 2,000 square  
feet when dry sweeping. Braava will move from one Cube to the next,  
extending the cleaning area with each Cube it encounters.  
• Multiple cubes can be used in Mop mode, too, but Braava limits its wet  
cleaning area to 350 square feet to optimize for cloth wetness.

Setting Up NorthStar Navigation Cubes  
Using Braava with one Cube  
• Place the Cube near the center of the area you want to clean and start  
Braava nearby.  
• Braava will clean the area around the Cube, and may extend into other rooms  
based on the cleaning mode and how far the NorthStar signal reaches.  
• If you have a choice of rooms, place the Cube in a larger room to  
maximize NorthStar coverage.  
• Once Braava has completed its run, you can move the Cube to clean a  
different part of your home.  
Using Braava with multiple Cubes (For Braava 380t ONLY):  
• Use one or more extra Cubes (sold separately) to expand how far Braava  
cleans in a single run.*  
• Place extra Cubes in rooms or areas next to the area covered by the first  
Cube. The Cubes should typically be between 20 and 25 feet from each  
other for the NorthStar coverage to overlap.  
• Braava will automatically clean from one Cube to another.  
*Cubes are pre-programmed to different NorthStar channels, indicated on the bottom of the Cube.  
Cubes with different channels must be used for multi-Cube cleaning.

Using the Pro-Clean Reservoir Pad  
(Sold separately for Braava 320)  
The Pro-Clean Reservoir Pad dispenses liquid as Braava mops to keep  
the cleaning cloth wet longer.  
Fill the reservoir  
1. Open the fill cap by pulling and swiveling it  
to the side.  
2. Fill reservoir with water and replace fill cap,  
pressing it in securely so it does not leak.  
3. Fill the reservoir over a sink as a small  
amount of fluid can leak out when the fill  
cap is closed.  
4. Dampen the blue Pro-Clean microfiber  
cloth and press onto the velcro strips.  
Do not use a dry cloth.  
TIP: Fluid dispenses at different rates depending on floor type and solution  
used. The first time you mop, start with the cloth only slightly damp  
and then increase the starting cloth wetness if needed.  
NOTICE: To avoid the Pro-Clean Reservoir Pad leaving excess fluid  
on your floor, do not leave Braava unattended when mopping and  
remove from floor once Braava stops cleaning.  
When mopping is finished:  
• Empty any remaining fluid from the reservoir.  
• Leave the fill cap open to allow reservoir to dry completely.  
Do not store the pad on Braava if wet.  
• See page 22 for care instructions.

Place the NorthStar® Cube  
1. Press the button on the  
back corner of the NorthStar  
Navigation Cube to turn it on.  
A blue light will flash on the  
opposite corner when turned  
on, and then go solid when  
Braava locks onto it.  
If you forget to turn the Cube  
on, Braava will send a signal  
to try to turn it on. If Braava is  
successful, the blue flashing  
light will appear on the Cube.  
2. Place the NorthStar Navigation  
Cube on a table or counter top,  
pointing the blue light away  
from walls and toward the  
middle of the room.  
For Best Results  
• Place the NorthStar Navigation Cube where it has a clear view of the  
ceiling (for example, no cabinet or shelf directly above it).  
• Do not move the NorthStar Navigation Cube once Braava has started  
cleaning as it may impair Braava’s cleaning performance.  
• Do not put the NorthStar Navigation Cube on the floor as the cleaner  
may run into it and move it.

it started and parks itself. Braava will also do this if the battery runs low  
while cleaning.  
To turn Braava off, press the power button for two seconds. A tune will  
play and the light will turn off.  
To turn off the NorthStar Navigation Cube, press the button on the back  
corner. The light on the opposite corner will turn off.

Maintenance  
To keep your Braava in the best working condition, follow these maintenance steps.  
Cleaning and Storing  
• Use a dry cloth to wipe dust or dirt from Braava’s exterior. Do not rinse or  
submerge in water.  
• Use a damp cloth to wipe off dust and dirt on tires. Make sure that Braava  
is not plugged in and that the cloth is not dripping.  
• Place Braava on its end (handle side down) when charging or storing  
between uses.  
• For long term storage remove C batteries from the NorthStar Cube.  
Wheel Guard  
• As Braava cleans, debris may accumulate around the Wheel Guards.  
This helps keep Braava’s wheels moving freely.  
• Periodically check Braava’s wheels to see if debris has accumulated and  
remove as needed.  
• A small notch next to the wheel allows access with tweezers or scissors if  
needed to free the debris.
