The basic principle of MONDIALVAP 2500 with auto refilling is conceived for cleaning
various types of surfaces by the simple use of steam and, if desired, by mixing water
powered with a high exit pressure.
The cleaning action takes place thanks to the coexistence of 3 important factors: volume,
temperature, humidity.
The volume determines the impact of the fluid with the surface to be treated, takes off
and removes the dirt in the same way as an imaginary blade, but without scratching the
treated areas. The temperature is an important steam component, in fact it has a double
role: it melts the dirt to make pickup easier and disinfects the surfaces. The steam
humidity, when in contact with dirt, makes it soft by changing the principal physical
characteristics of consistency, hardness and adhesion.

The materials the appliance is made of are of excellent quality and suitable to withstand
mechanical and thermic stress without changing their physical characteristics.
Further intervention devices guarantee the absolute safety of the appliance.

Apart from the two security systems (pressostat and safety valve) there is also a
thermostat (which is manually re-armable) which will intervene to protect the machine
in case of any electrical malfunction. The rearming of the thermostat can only be done
by a Polti Authorised Service Centre.
The switches for the electrovalve for steam output and for the detergent pump are both
low voltage (12V).

• For cleaning leather, wood or delicate fabrics especially dralon, velvet and other pile
surfaces, consult the manufacturers’ instructions.
Clean only by using the hand gun at a safe distance together with a soft cloth and always
do a test on a non visible part of the item first or on a sample.
Allow the test area to dry completely before observing results and effects on surface
or colour before proceeding to clean further areas, ensuring that exactly the same
distance and technique are applied as for the test area.
• For cleaning wood surfaces (furniture, doors, etc.) take great care as too long an
application of the steam could alter the waxed appearance, the shine or the colour of
the surfaces cleaned.
We therefore recommend you apply the steam on such surfaces only for brief periods
or to clean these surfaces using a cloth first held in the steam.
• On delicate surfaces (e.g. synthetic materials, lacquered surfaces etc.) we recommend
that the small brush should always be covered with at least two cloths and the steam
volume turned down to a low level.
• If cleaning glass surfaces in particularly low temperatures preheat the glass using the
hand gun (R) from about 50 centimetres distance from the surface to be cleaned.
• For the care of your plants vaporise at a minimum distance of 50 centimetres.

The steam gun can be used directly on all spots requiring a stronger, closer treatment
without connecting the brushes. The more resistant the stain, the closer you should hold
the gun; the steam pressure and temperature being higher at the source. You should
however always wipe with a dry cloth or a slightly abrasive sponge if the stain is a difficult
one to remove after using the gun.
The steam gun (R) is particularly efficient at:
– breaking down rug and carpet stains before they are treated with the large brush.
– cleaning stainless steel surfaces, panes, mirrors, enamelled surfaces.
– cleaning hard-to-reach corners, such as stairs, window sills, door posts, aluminium
outlines.
– cleaning tap bases.
– cleaning windows shutters, heaters, car interiors.
– spraying plants from a distance.
– removing odours and creases from clothes.
To reach higher points, the steam gun (R) can be connected to one or both extension tubes
(1).

To wash floors, put a clean, dry kitchen cloth under the brush and swing back and forth
without applying any pressure. Use the other side of the cloth when the first one is
impregnated with dirt.
Use the brush (2) directly without the cloth on particularly dirty or encrusted areas and in
spaces between the tiles: swing the brush sideways to detach the dirt.
Highly obstinate stains may require a steam gun treatment before the brush and cloth are
used (an old bath towel is an ideal cloth). The same procedures apply to ceilings and
vertical surfaces, like wallpaper: in this case the cloth can easily be fastened around the
brush (2) and held in place by the four clips on the brush itself. Smooth cotton cloths are
suitable for the treatment of glass surfaces: fasten the cloth around the brush then pass
it over the window pane (or mirror) to remove the greasy film. Finally, spray the surface
with the steam gun and wipe dry with a clean cloth. In cold weather, window panes will
require pre-heating with the steam gun (from a distance of 50 cm), prior to the actual
cleaning with the brush.
Mondialvap 2500 is ideal for both synthetic and wool rugs as well as for all types of
carpets.

Its use will ensure total hygiene, revive colours and restore the original brilliance of the
pile.
The treatment can be repeated as frequently as you wish, with no damage whatsoever.
Drying occurs practically at once. Use the brush (2) without cloth on the surface to raise
the dirt.
Then, fold a cotton cloth over 2 or 3 times (according to the resistance of the pile) and
fasten it with the clips (3) onto the brush. Move the brush (2) rapidly in all directions without
applying any pressure. You should avoid lingering in the same place, as this may soak the
area.
Particularly dirty rugs may need several treatments. Obstinate spots may require the use
of the steam gun (at a distance of 5-10 cm) (R) prior to treatment.

The small brush (6) is designed to perform the same operation as the large brush, only
on smaller surfaces. It can be connected to the steam gun (R) with one or two extension
tubes (1). The small brush is suitable for:
- upholstery fabrics (resistance and colour fastness should be tested previously on a
hidden piece of fabric, allowed to dry and results evaluated).
- velvets and leather (from a distance).
- car interiors, windshields.
- small glass surfaces, tiled surfaces.
When cleaning wood surfaces (doors, floors, etc) do not use naked steam, but cover the
brush (large 2or small 6) with a cotton cloth folded into a number of thicknesses.
For cleaning furniture spray the steam onto a dry cotton cloth then wipe with the cloth.
The warm moist cloth will pick up dirt and static, so that the furniture remains cleaner
longer thanks to the absence of sticky film from chemical cleaning products.

The 120° nozzle (which can be connected directly to the gun (R) or together with the
extension tubes) allows you to concentrate a powerful jet of steam to otherwise
inaccessible locations, such as radiators, door posts, sills and shutters, as well as for
sterilising toilet bowls.

The window squeegee tool (10) allows you to clean effectively and rapidly all glass
surfaces without using detergents.
Your glass will remain cleaner longer thanks to the absence of layers of film normally
left behind by chemical cleaning products on which new dust and grease can attach
itself.
Cleaning glass is done in two stages:
– spraying the steam onto the surface to be cleaned to loosen the dirt.
– Pulling the blade straight down the window surface from top to bottom without applying
the steam, to take away the dirt.
To clean especially large glass surfaces, attach the window squeegee tool (10) to the
extension tubes (1).

Before attempting any maintenance operation, be sure to always disconnect the appliance
from the mains.
We recommend that the bristles of the brushes are allowed to cool down in their normal
position after use, so as to avoid any mis-shaping.
Check periodically the condition of the rubber washer connections on the extension tubes
(1) and on the steam gun (R). If necessary, replace the washers with the exchange
washers (7) supplied with your Mondialvap 2500.
To clean the body of the appliance, simply use a moist cloth. Do not use solvents or
detergents which may harm the body material.
Position an empty container under the machine (W) and with a screwdriver turn the
opening device anti-clockwise. Insert the plug and push the mains supply switch (A). This
activates the pump and starts the washing process. When washing is completed, unplug
the appliance and screw the device clockwise back in its place.
Switch the appliance on pushing only the mains supply switch (A), enabling the generator
to refill again and only when it is full (the pump has finished filling), activate the starter
switch (B).
Attention! if the generator is not full enough of water, the heating elements may burn out.
