    How Mint Plus Cleans Mint Plus intelligently cleans your floor by mapping the room as it cleans. Cleaning Cycle Mint Plus 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, Mint Plus cleans along edges of furniture and walls before moving on.
  • Page 15 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. Mint Plus 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.

    NorthStar Navigation ® The NorthStar Navigation Cube acts as a beacon, emitting a signal that guides Mint Plus’s cleaning. Connecting to the NorthStar Navigation Cube Once Mint Plus starts cleaning, it tries to establish a connection to the NorthStar Navigation Cube, indicated by one flashing blue light on the Navigation System Indicator.
  • Page 17 Setting Up NorthStar Navigation Cubes Using Mint Plus with one Cube Place the Cube near the center of the area you want to clean and start Mint Plus nearby. Mint Plus 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.
