• Open the cap and fill the water tank (I) with
normal tap water using the funnel (fig. 2).
Use water with a hardness of less than 5° F.
If the water from the mains supply is particu-
larly hard, we recommend using a mixture of
50% tap water and 50% demineralised wa-
ter.
• Replace the cap on the tank.
• Use the funnel (23) to fill the tank (J) with the
suitably diluted detergent.
• Replace the cap on the tank.
ATTENTION: never swap the contents of the
two tanks. It is important that the tank (I) is al-
ways filled with water and not detergent. Pla-
cing detergent in the water tank could cause
serious damage to the product.
Once the funnel has been used to fill the deter-
gent tank, rinse it under running water before
reusing it to fill the water tank.
DETERGENT:
It is recommended to only use detergents from
the Polti HP007 PROFESSIONAL line because
they are specifically developed and tested for
using with Mondial Vap steam appliances.
Refer to the instructions on the product labels
for information on the correct dilutions and on
how to use the Polti HP007 PROFESSIONAL
products.
ATTENTION:
• Never use foaming or acid-based detergents
because they could damage the internal
components of the appliance.
• Never use detergents containing muriatic
acid, ammonia or products classified as irri-
tants because their volatility increases when
used with steam and, therefore, could be
harmful if inhaled.
• Any problems caused by the use of deter-
gents not conforming to those mentioned
above will not be covered by the warranty
PREPARATION OF DIRT CONTAINER
• Release the locking lever of the dirt container
(L) and slide the container unit (M) towards
the outside of the appliance (fig. 3).
• Lift the cover of the dirt container (O).
• Fill the container (N) with one litre of ordinary
tap water.
• Add a dose (one cap) of antifoam (28) to the
water already in the container (N).
• Put the container unit back inside the ap-
pliance.

• Open the door of the unit socket (K); insert
the unit plug (6) all the way in without pres-
sing the button until the mechanism clicks
into place; then check that it is secure (fig. 4).
• To disconnect the unit plug (6) from the ap-
pliance, press the button (7) and pull the unit
so that it separates from the appliance.
• Connect the plug to a compatible power ou-
tlet.
S

• Press the main switch (B). The steam-ready
indicating light (E) will start flashing; after
about 5-10 minutes it will become fixed indi-
cating that the appliance is ready to generate
steam.
ATTENTION: do not dispense steam when
the indicating light (E) is flashing, wait for it
to become fixed so that the system has sta-
bilised and the most effective results can be
obtained.
• Press the steam/detergent request button (3)
on the handle to dispense steam.
Note: The handle (2) comes with a safety
button (4) which prevents the accidental di-
spensing of steam by children or other peo-
ple who do not know how to use the ap-
pliance. If the flexible hose is temporarily left
unattended while the appliance is on, lock
the safety button (4).
To start dispensing steam again, put the sa-
fety button in its original position.
On first use, a few drops of water may leak
out because the thermal stabilisation inside
the hose is not perfect yet. Therefore, it is
advisable to direct the first jet of steam onto
a rag until the jet is even.

Before treating leather, special fabrics and
wooden surfaces with steam, consult the ma-
nufacturer’s instructions and always carry out a
test on a hidden part or sample. Allow the trea-
ted area to dry in order to check for any chan-
ges in colour or deformations. Be careful when
cleaning wooden surfaces (furniture, doors,
etc.) and terracotta floors because excessive
use of steam may damage the wax, polish or
colour of the surfaces to be cleaned. It is re-
commended to steam these surfaces only for
short periods at a time or to clean them with a
cloth that has already been steamed. Use the
lowest steam setting on particularly delicate
surfaces such as synthetic materials, lacque-
red surfaces, etc. If cleaning glass surfaces in
particularly cold weather, preheat the glass by
starting to spray at a distance of about 50 centi-
metres from the surface. To care for your
plants, it is recommended to spray at a mini-
mum distance of 50 cm.

shape allows easily cleaning the area hidden
under the seat that would otherwise be difficult
to reach. The coloured brushes can also be
connected to this accessory (16).
ATTENTION: Use the toilet bowl cleaning
accessory only for this purpose because,
due to its special shape, any steam or deter-
gent dispensed may be directed towards
the user, with the risk of burns. Be very ca-
reful and when not in use, insert the steam

• Open the door of the unit socket (K); insert
the unit plug of the spray gun (6) all the way
in without pressing the button until the me-
chanism clicks into place; then check that it
is secure (fig.4).
• To disconnect the unit plug (6) from the ap-
pliance, press the button (7) and pull the unit
so that it separates from the appliance.
• Insert the catch located at the base of the
curtain freshening-up accessory (32) in the
special seat present on the end of the spray
gun (31), then turn until it is completely bloc-
ked (fig. 8).
ATTENTION! The curtain freshening-up acces-
sory (32) gets very hot during use, therefore be
very careful when removing it. Use an oven
mitt, or wait for it to cool down.
This accessory is suitable for ironing and fre-
shening-up curtains without having to remove
them.
HOW TO USE THIS ACCESSORY:
pass the accessory from the top to the bottom
of the curtain in order to spray and iron the cur-
tains, removing any creases and unpleasant
odours from the fabrics.
The practical sponge present on the accessory
collects any drops of steam.
To clean the sponge, simply remove it and
wash. Once dry, put it back on the accessory
using the Velcro.

• Before any type of maintenance, make sure
the power cord is not connected to the mains
power.
• After using the brushes, leave the bristles to
cool down in their natural position in order to
prevent any deformations.
• Periodically check the condition of the ga-
skets located in the unit plug (6). If neces-
sary, replace them with an approved spare
part. Also check the connection gaskets of
the extension tubes (9) and handle (2). Use
a damp cloth to clean the outside. Do not use
solvents or detergents because they could
damage the plastic surfaces.

remove any dirt.
• Allow the filter to dry before reconnecting it to

ATTENTION:
• Do not clean the filter with brushes, rags or
any object which may exert an abrasive ac-
tion, because rubbing or buffering may da-
mage it and consequently reduce its filtering
performance.
• Do not use detergents, do not rub the filter
and do not wash it in a dishwasher.
• To continue working, reassemble the filter by
following the above operations in reverse.
The filter has a lifecycle of about 100 hours.

• Separate the “U-shaped” tube (S) from the
cover and rinse under running water. Make
sure that the small tube positioned on the

tube and wash under running water to re-
move any obstructions.
• When replacing the “U-shaped” tube on the
cover of the dirt container, make sure to posi-
tion it by aligning the indent on the tube with
the indent on the cover (fig. 10).

The water tank (I) and detergent tank (J) can
be emptied easily.
To empty the tanks proceed as follows:
• Release the locking lever of the dirt container
(L) and slide the container unit (M) towards
the outside of the appliance (fig. 3).
• As shown in figure 12, once the container
unit (M) has been removed, there are two
small tubes on the bottom of the appliance
for emptying the tanks (I) and (J).
• Remove the tube from the fastening clip and
leave it free.
• Remove the cap that closes the tube and al-
low the tank to empty.
NOTE: It is recommended to place a large
recipient under the tank that needs to be em-
ptied.
• Once the tank has been emptied, replace the
cap to close the tube and reattach the tube to
the clip.
ATTENTION: make sure the caps closing
the tubes are repositioned correctly in order
to prevent water from accidentally leaking
out of the tanks. Make sure the two tubes
are repositioned underneath the tie-rod that
supports them (as shown in figure 12) to
prevent these from breaking or compromi-
sing the correct position of the container
unit (M) when repositioned.
