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 person in order
to avoid 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 the Power Supply in within 12 feet of the pool.

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

Mishandling the unit can result in leakage of lubricants.

Please keep the plug 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.

Do not use the floating power cord to lift Verro from the pool. Use the
handle.

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

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.

Tip

iRobot recommends using the mesh filter bag (included) when the pool contains a significant

quantity of large debris (leaves, etc.), such as when the pool is opened for the season. The

fine filter bag is ideal for filtering small debris (algae, sand, etc.) and for regular maintenance.

Tip

Periodically straighten the floating power cord with the Detangler.

Tip

Verro’s 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 star t another
cleaning cycle, switch the Power Supply OFF and then back ON and then press
the reset button.
