iRobot® Verro ™ OWNER’S MANUAL Model 00
Safety Notes WARNING: Your cleaner should not be used while people are swimming in the pool. A Ground Fault Current Interrupter (GFCI) must be installed to protect your electric outlet and prevent any possible electric shock. The unit must be supplied through a Ground Fault Current Interrupter outlet. The connection to the branch circuit should be consistent with the local and national wiring rules (electrical code).
Cautions Please read this manual completely before operating your pool cleaner. Retain the safety and operating instructions for future reference. Do not switch the pool cleaner ON if it is not fully immersed in water. Operating the cleaner out of water will cause severe damage immediately and will result in loss of warranty. Allow the cleaner to remain in the pool for 15 to 20 minutes following the end of its cleaning cycle. This will allow the motors to cool adequately.
Tips Tip Clean the filter bag regularly. Verro uses the force of the water pumped through its filter bag to move properly. If the filter bag is not kept clean, Verro will not move or clean properly. Tip Store Verro in a dry place out of direct sunlight at a temperature between 50 and 104 degrees Fahrenheit. The Power Supply is water resistant, but not waterproof and may be damaged by rain. Important: Failure to properly store Verro will result in loss of warranty.

Using Verro 1 Uncoil the floating power cord and spread it over the surface of the water, ensuring that it is not tangled or kinked. 2 Place Verro upside down in the pool and rock it from side to side to allow air to escape. Turn Verro over and allow it to sink to the bottom of the pool so that the wheels rest on the bottom of the pool. 3 Place the Power Supply in a dry area at least 3.5 meters/12 feet from the pool. 3.5m/12ft 4 Plug the floating power cord into the Power Supply.
Using Verro (cont...) 6 Set the time control dial to 30 seconds. See Adjusting the Time Control Dial, below. 7 Turn the Power Supply switch ON then press the reset button. The light on the Power Supply will illuminate and Verro will start to clean your pool. 8 After approximately two hours, Verro will stop and the Power Supply light will turn off. To stop Verro before the end of the cleaning cycle, switch the Power Supply OFF. www.irobot.
Using Verro (cont...) 9 Wait 20 minutes before removing Verro from the pool to allow the pump motor to cool. Shut off and unplug the Power Supply every time you remove the cleaner from the water. Always remember to turn the Power Supply OFF and unplug it from the power outlet before removing the cleaner from the pool. 10 Unplug the Power Supply from the GFCI outlet. Never leave the Power Supply plugged in when Verro is not in use. 11 Unplug the floating power cord from the Power Supply.
How Verro Works iRobot Verro uses a powerful motor to draw 80 gallons of water per minute through the filter bag. This creates strong suction at two inlet ports under the robot that draws dirt and debris, such as bacteria, algae, leaves, and even coins into the filter bag where they are trapped. The pump motor also drives two high-pressure jets under the robot that loosen dirt and attached particles, which are then vacuumed up.
Adjusting the Time Control Dial The time control dial determines how long iRobot Verro travels in one direction before stopping and reversing direction. Adjust it so that Verro goes from the waterline on one side of the pool to the waterline on the other side at the widest point, waiting approximately two seconds on each side. Turning the time control dial clockwise lengthens the time between Verro reversing direction; turning the time control dial counter-clockwise shortens the time.
Cleaning the Filter Bag It is very important to clean Verro’s filter regularly in order to keep it running at peak efficiency. The fine filter bag can trap particles as small as two microns across. (For comparison, the period at the end of this sentence is more than 500 microns across.) These small particles can clog the filter bag, reducing the amount of water that Verro can pump.
Cleaning the Filter Bag (cont...) 4 6 7 8 9 14 Remove the filter bag assembly. 5 Remove the filter bag from the support bars. Turn the filter bag inside out and rinse away any accumulated debris with a hose. Gently agitate and squeeze the bag while rinsing it until the water is clear. If this does not remove all visible dirt, machine wash the bag using cold water on the gentle cycle. Do not use detergents, fabric softeners, bleach or other additives and do not machine dry.
Maintenance and Adjustment Rinsing Verro iRobot recommends that you rinse Verro with a garden hose after using it. This will extend the life of the plastic and keep your robot looking good for years to come. Storage Store Verro in a dry place out of direct sunlight at a temperature between 50 and 104 degrees Fahrenheit. The Power Supply is water resistant, but not waterproof and may be damaged by rain. Important: Failure to properly store Verro will result in loss of warranty. www.irobot.
Maintenance and Adjustment (cont...) Untwisting the Floating Power Cord Check the floating power cord periodically for external damage. Verro is designed to travel around your pool in a way that reduces any tendency for the cord to become twisted. However, if the cord tangles or kinks, and will not lie properly on the surface of the water, it may be necessary to untwist it using the Detangler. 1 Unplug the Power Supply. (Please keep the plug away from contact with water.
Maintenance and Adjustment (cont...) Cleaning the Impeller Verro uses an impeller to pump water up through the vacuum intakes at the bottom of the robot and out the jet valve housing at the top. If this impeller becomes fouled by hair, string, etc. it will reduce the amount of water Verro can pump and may reduce the life of the motor.
6 Using the bent paper clip, hook the material fouling the impeller. It may be helpful to use a small flashlight to see better. 7 Replace the jet valve port. 8 Replace the screws.
Maintenance and Adjustment (cont...) Cleaning the Jet Tubes Verro uses two powerful jets of water like power washers to loosen attached dirt and debris as it moves around the pool. If the tubes that carry these jets from the impeller to the nozzles under the robot become blocked, Verro will not be able to clean as well. If Verro is not doing a good job of loosening attached dirt, and other measures (cleaning the filter, inspecting the vacuum intakes, etc.) have not worked, check the tubes.
Checking the Flaps in the Vacuum Intakes There is a flap just inside each vacuum intake at the bottom of the robot. These flaps must freely open and close. If they do not, remove any dirt or debris that is interfering with their operation. Cleaning the Direction Baffle Verro uses a baffle to redirect the flow of water so that it can move forward and backward. If this baffle becomes fouled or clogged, Verro will not be able to change direction.
Troubleshooting Most problems with Verro are caused by a dirty or clogged filter bag. Verro depends on water flowing freely through the filter bag to operate at peak efficiency. If the filter bag gets clogged, Verro will not be able to clean as effectively and may not move as well. The fine filter bag can trap particles as small as two microns across and can be clogged by particles too small to see.
