CAUTION: never fill the water tank with deter-
gent solution or vice versa. It is important to fill
the water tank (I) with water only, NEVER with
detergent. Putting detergent into the water tank
could seriously damage the appliance.
When you have finished using the funnel to fill
the detergent tank, rinse it under running water
before using it to fill the water tank.
CLEANING PRODUCTS:
We recommend use of cleaning products from
the Polti HP007 PROFESSIONAL line only, as
they are specifically designed and tested for
use with Mondial Vap steam appliances.
Refer to product labels for information on dilu-
tion percentages and how to use Polti HP007
PROFESSIONAL products.
CAUTION:
• Never use foamy or acidic cleaning products,
as they could damage the components in-
side the appliance.
• Never use cleaning products containing
muriatic acid, ammonia or products classified
as irritant, as use of irritating products with
steam increases their volatility so that they
can be hazardous to the health if inhaled.
•Problems caused by use of cleaning
products other than those recommended
above will not be covered by the guaran-
tee.
PREPARATION OF THE DIRT CON-
TAINER
• Release the two levers locking the dirt
container (K) in place and slide the con-
tainer (L) out of the appliance (fig.2).
• Open the dirt container lid using the han-
dle (fig.3).
• Fill the container (L) with 1 litre of ordinary
tap water.
• Add a dose (one cap) of antifoam (28) to
the water in the container (L).
• Put the container back into the appliance,
performing the procedure described above
in reverse order.
U
US SE E
• Open the door on the unit socket (N); plug
in the unit plug (6) all the way, without
pressing the button, until you hear the
mechanism click into place, then check
that it is connected properly (fig. 4).
• To disconnect the unit plug (6) from the
appliance, press button (7) and pull the
unit plug away from the appliance.
• Plug in the appliance into a suitable elec-
trical outlet.
STEAM FUNCTION
• Turn the main switch (A) to “I”.
• Press the boiler switch (B). The steam
ready indicator light (E) will start flashing
and then stay on (after about 10 minutes),
indicating that the appliance is ready to
dispense steam.
• Press the steam/detergent button (3) on
the handle to dispense steam.
Note: The handle (2) has a safety button (4)
which prevents accidental dispensing of steam
by children or people unfamiliar with operation
of the appliance. If you need to leave the hose
temporarily unattended while the appliance is
on, lock the safety button (4). Put it back in its
original position to start dispensing steam
again.
The first time you use the appliance, a few
drops of water may leak out because the inside
of the hose is not yet perfectly thermally stable.
It is advisable to direct the first jet of steam
onto a rag, until the jet is uniform.
• To turn off the steam function, press the
switch (B).
The indicator light (E) will go out.
VACUUM FUNCTION
• Turn the main switch (A) to “I”.
• Hold button (5) on the handle (2) down for
a few seconds, and the appliance will be-
gin vacuuming.
CAUTION: Use the vacuum function to pick
up liquid/damp dirt only, not to pick up dry
dirt.
• To stop vacuuming, hold the button (5) on
the handle (2) down for a few seconds.

This appliance allows you to optimise steam
flow using the steam control knob (D). You can
use this control to increase the steam flow by
turning in anti-clockwise direction. Turning the
control in a clockwise direction reduces the
steam flow.
Use strong steam: to remove deposits, stains
and grease and to sanitise;
Use normal steam: on carpets, rugs, glass and
floors;
Use gentle steam: to spray plants and clean
delicate fabrics, upholstery, sofas, etc.

Whenever the water in the dirt container (L) is
very dirty, replace it as described in the section
on “Emptying and cleaning the dirt container”.
When dirt in the dirt container (L) reaches the
maximum permitted level, vacuuming will be
automatically shut down by the safety float (P)
(you will hear the motor running faster).
CAUTION: turn off the appliance and do not
start it up again until you have put water in the
container as described in the section on “Emp-
tying and cleaning the dirt container”. If you at-
tempt to turn on the appliance before this, you
could damage the filter on the air outlet (Q).
To resume cleaning, proceed as described in
the section on “Emptying and cleaning the dirt
container”, and then add water to the container.

Before steam-treating leather, special fabrics
and wooden surfaces, refer to the manufac-
turer’s care instructions and always test by ap-
plying steam to a hidden corner or sample of
the material. Let the steam-treated part dry and
then check it for colour changes or deforma-
tion.
DO NOT USE ON DRAYLON, VELVET OR
SIMILAR SENSITIVE FABRICS.
Be very careful when cleaning wooden sur-
faces (furniture, doors, etc.) and brick floors, as
excessively prolonged use of steam could
damage the wax, polish or colour of the sur-
faces.
Apply steam to surfaces of this kind only for
brief intervals, or clean them with a cloth to
which you have applied steam. On particularly
delicate surfaces (such as synthetic materials,
lacquered surfaces, etc.) use only the minimum
steam setting. When cleaning glass in cold
weather, preheat the glass by starting to spray
from about 50 cm away. Spray plants from at
least 50 cm away.

This accessory is recommended for cleaning
hard-to-reach corners which are difficult to
clean with other accessories, such as:
• pre-treating stains on carpets or rugs be-
fore using the brush on them;
• cleaning stainless steel, glass, mirrors,
coated surfaces and enamel;
• cleaning hard-to-reach corners such as
stairs, window frames, door jambs, alu-
minium sections;
• cleaning around the base of taps;
• cleaning shutters, radiators, car interiors;
• spraying houseplants from a distance;
• eliminating odours and creases from cloth-
ing.
The 120° tool may be applied directly to the
handle (2) or connected to the hose with exten-
sion tubes (9). The 120° tool may be used in
combination with the following accessories:
• coloured 120° brushes (16), recom-
mended for removing encrustations from
narrow surfaces such as gas rings, shut-
ters, spaces between tiles, bathroom fix-
tures, etc.. They are colour-coded so that
you can always use the same brush for
the same surface.
• Steam nozzle (17), recommended for get-
ting into hard-to-reach corners and clean-
ing radiators, door and window frames,
bathroom fixtures and shutters. To con-
nect the nozzle to the 120° tool simply
screw it on just like the coloured brushes,
which can in turn be screwed onto the
nozzle. TAKE CARE WHEN APPLYING,
THE METAL TIP OF THE NOZZLE RE-
MAINS VERY HOT FOR SOME TIME AF-

• Always make sure that the appliance is
unplugged before performing any mainte-
nance on it.
• Let bristles cool down in their natural posi-

mation.
• Periodically inspect the gaskets on the unit
plug (6). Replace them with original spare
parts when necessary. Also inspect the
gaskets on the extension tube (9) and
handle (2) connections. Clean the outside
of the appliance with a damp cloth. Do not
use solvents or detergents, which could
damage the plastic surface.
