iRobot® Verro ™ Owner’s Manual Model 600
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 maintain traction, particularly on the walls of the pool. If the filter bag is not kept clean, Verro will not clean properly and will not be able to climb the walls of the pool. Tip Change the direction of the handle before each cleaning run to prevent the floating power cord from becoming twisted and to improve coverage of the entire pool. (p.

Using Verro 1 Position the handle diagonally across Verro. Each time Verro cleans the pool, reverse the direction of the handle. This will help keep Verro from twisting the floating power cord and ensure more even coverage. 2 Uncoil the floating power cord and spread it over the surface of the water. 3 Place Verro in the water and rock it from side to side to allow air to escape. Let Verro settle to the bottom of the pool. Ensure that it is right side up and level.
Using Verro (cont...) 5 Plug the floating power cord in the Power Supply. Be sure not to force the plug as it will only go in one way. Once the plug is fully seated, turn the locking collar clockwise to lock it. Push and rotate clockwise 6 Ensure the Power Supply at least 12 feet from the pool and plug it 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.
Using Verro (cont...) 8 When Verro has finished cleaning the pool it will stop automatically and the Power Supply light will go OFF. 9 Wait 20 minutes before removing Verro from the pool to allow the motors 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.
How Verro Works Verro has a powerful motor that pumps 80 gallons of water per minute through the robot, generating suction at two vacuum intakes under the robot. The water passes through a filter bag that traps dirt and debris down to two microns in size. (For comparison, the period at the end of this sentence is more than 500 microns in size.) The force of the water being pumped up through the bottom of the robot and out through the top helps Verro maintain traction on the pool bottom and walls.
Cleaning the Filter Bag Verro uses the force of the water pumped through the filter bag to maintain traction on the pool floor bottom and walls. If the filter bag becomes clogged, Verro will not be able to clean as effectively and may have trouble moving along the bottom and up the walls properly. 1 2 Unplug the Power Supply. (Please keep the plug away from contact with water.) Unplug the floating power cord (turn the locking collar counter-clockwise to unlock it) from the Power Supply.
Cleaning the Filter Bag (cont...) 4 6 7 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. 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.
Maintenance and Adjustment (cont...) 4 Remove the side plate. Side Plate 5 Note the arrangement of the drive belts and drive tracks and then remove the front and rear brush rollers. Wheel Tube PVA Brush 6 7 8 9 10 11 End Hub Remove the end hubs from the rollers. Pull the brushes off the wheel tubes. If the brushes are difficult to remove, soak them in water for 20 minutes. Push the new brushes onto the wheel tubes.
Maintenance and Adjustment (cont...) Changing the Drive Belts or Tracks Over time, Verro’s drive belts can stretch. When this happens, Verro may move more slowly and may have difficulty climbing the walls of the pool. You may also occasionally hear a click as the drive belt slips on its drive wheel. Please read these instructions carefully before proceeding. If you have any difficulty, please call our customer care representatives at 877.855.8593. They will be happy to provide assistance.
Maintenance and Adjustment (cont...) 5 6 7 8 Noting carefully how they are installed, remove the drive belts. Install the new drive belts and drive tracks. Replace the side plates. Reattach the four screws on each side. 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.
Maintenance and Adjustment (cont...) 4 If the cord is not fully untwisted by the time it is straight, simply give it a few more turns by hand. Cleaning the Impeller Outlet Top Propeller 1 2 3 4 5 18 Unplug the floating power cord from the Power Supply. Remove the screws that attach the outlet top to the robot. Lift off the outlet top. Clean any debris from the propeller and shaft. Replace the outlet top and reinstall the screws.
Troubleshooting Many 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 move as well and will not be able to clean as effectively. The fine filter bag can trap particles as small as two microns across and can be clogged by particles too small to see.
Troubleshooting Problem Verro does not cover the entire pool (cont...) Likely cause What to do The filter bag needs to be Clean the filter bag. (p. 12) cleaned The brushes, drive belts or drive tracks need replacing Replace drive belts and treads. (p. 16) The floating power cord is preventing Verro from reaching all parts of the pool Use the Detangler to untwist the floating power cord. Position the Power Supply 12 feet away from the center one of the long sides of the pool.
