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).

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer’s service agent or a qualified and trained technician in
order to avoid safety hazards.

Always remember to turn the Power Supply OFF and unplug it from the
power outlet before removing the cleaner from the pool.

Shut off and unplug the Power Supply every time you remove the
cleaner from the water.

Do not plug-in the Power Supply within 12 feet of the pool.

Do not leave the cleaner in the pool all the time.

Mishandling of the unit can result in leakage of lubricants.

Please keep the plug and power supply away from contact with water.

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.

Do not use Verro in a pool warmer than 100 degrees Fahrenheit.

Use the handle - not the floating power cord - to remove Verro from the
pool. Using the power cord can severely damage the robot.

Do not force the floating power cord plug. It will fit into the socket only
one way.

Do not leave your cleaner in direct sunlight when not in use.

Never leave the Power Supply in direct sunlight and avoid leaving it in
the rain.

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

iRobot Verro 100 includes one fine filter bag, ideal for filtering small debris (algae, sand,

etc.) and regular maintenance. Additional fine filter bags (as well as mesh filter bags, ideal
for when the pool contains a significant quantity of large debris) are available for purchase
at store.irobot.com

Tip

To keep the power cord from becoming kinked and tangled, always reverse the position of the

locking pin to the opposing side of the axle after each use.

Tip

Periodically straighten the floating power cord with the Detangler.

Tip

Store your robot 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.

Tip

The Verro 100 Power Supply has an automatic timer that shuts Verro OFF after approximately

two hours of operation. When this happens, the power switch will remain ON. To start
another cleaning cycle, switch the Power Supply OFF and then back ON and then press
the reset button.

Tip

Periodically, clean filter bag using cold water only on gentle cycle. Never use detergents,

fabric softeners, bleach or other additives and do not machine dry. This will cause permanent
damage to your filter bag.

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.

Verro uses the force of the water being pumped through the robot to hold

itself against the surface it is cleaning and to move along it.

Each time it changes direction, Verro automatically alters it course slightly so

that it covers the entire bottom of the pool efficiently and systematically.

Using Verro

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.

1

Uncoil the floating power cord and spread it over the surface of the water, ensuring that it

is not tangled or kinked.

3

Place the Power Supply in a dry area at least 3.5 meters/12 feet from the pool.

3.5m/12ft

5

Ensure that the Power Supply is at least 12 feet from the pool and that the power switch
is OFF. Plug the Power Supply into a GFCI outlet. Ensure the electric outlet has been
properly grounded. Never leave the Power Supply plugged in when Verro is not in use

4

Plug the floating power cord into the Power Supply. Be sure not to force the plug as it will

only go in one way.

Warning: A Ground Fault Current Interrupter (GFCI) must be installed to
protect your electric outlet and prevent any possible electric shock.
