 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. If rinsing the filter bag by hand with a hose does not solve the problem, try machine washing it in cold water. Do not use any detergent, fabric softeners, bleach, or any other additives. Do not machine dry the filter bag. If you find the filter bag gets clogged too quickly, consider using the mesh bag instead (mesh filter bags are available separately from www.irobot.com). Always turn off Verro's Power Supply and unplug it before troubleshooting any problem. Problem Possible Cause What to Do Verro will The Power Supply is not Plug the Power Supply into a GFCI outlet.
