Dear Customer,
We wish to thank you for placing your trust in us and choosing a Polti product.
In choosing your Vaporetto, you were thinking of the hygiene of your home and of the
health of your family, because Vaporetto allows you to clean most surfaces with the pure
power that steam provides. It dissolves and collects dirt and traps dust-mites and aller-
gens in the water.
Thanks to the unique EcoActive-Filter, after vacuuming you can pour away the dirty wa-
ter without the risk of spreading dust everywhere.
The air-filtering system is completed by the air outlet filter, which retains the fine parti-
cles, so that the output air is thoroughly cleaned.
With Vaporetto you will be able to use steam and suction together for a complete clean,
suction alone so as to collect all the dust efficiently, or steam alone for specific cleaning
tasks.
We strongly recommend reading this instruction book carefully before using Vaporetto.
What is EcoActive-Filter?
EcoActive-Filter is a revolutionary water filter patented by Polti. EcoActive-Filter uses the
natural purifying property of water to capture the dirt, thus avoiding unpleasant contact
with the dust and its harmful dispersion into the environment. It is precisely the flow of
water contained in the special filter and its bubbling that make cleaning done with Va-
poretto so efficient.
This unit conforms with EC-directives 89/336 as amended by 93/68
(EMC) and 73/23 as amended by 93/68 (low voltage).
Polti S.p.A. reserves the right to change equipment or accessory specification wi-
thout prior notice.

• Water by its nature contains magnesium,
mineral salts and other deposits which in
hard water areas can contribute to
limescale build up in the tank. To avoid
these problems, it is necessary to swill out
with tapwater and empty the generator
tank after every 3 or 4 uses.In very hard
water areas we recommend the use of our
KALSTOP FP 2003, a special natural-
base decalcifier which inhibits and breaks
down limescale, making it easy to remove
just by swilling out the tank with a little tap-
water. This is a preventive against scale
build-up and protects the metal walls of the
boiler. KALSTOP is available from Polti
dealers or by mail-order from your Polti
Service Centre.

This appliance can be used to suck up dust
or liquids equally easily.
If the water in the filter is very dirty replace it
as described in the section “Emptying and
cleaning the water container”.
When the dirt sucked in reaches the maxi-
mum permitted level in the water container
(20), suction is stopped automatically by the
safety float provided for this purpose (you
will notice that the engine speed has in-
creased).
ATTENTION: switch off the appliance, and
only switch on again after restoring the water
level in the container as described in the
“emptying and cleaning the water container”
paragraph.
IMMEDIATE RESTART WITHOUT
RESTORING THE WATER LEVEL CAN
DAMAGE THE AIR OUTLET FILTER.
Before resuming your cleaning operations,
proceed as illustrated in the section “Empty-
ing and cleaning the water container”, and
then top up the level of the water in the con-
tainer.

Bioecologico is available for sanitising while
using the suction function. It is a scented an-
tibacterial product with natural-based anti-al-
lergenic substances. If it is added regularly
to the water in the water container (20), NOT

DO NOT USE STEAM FUNCTION ON
DRAYLON, VELVET, LEATHER OR
OTHER SENSITIVE SURFACES.
If in doubt about the effect of steam on other
surfaces, consult the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions and always proceed only after carrying
out a test on a hidden part or a sample. Al-
low the area treated with steam to dry and
then check whether any changes in colour or
deformations have occurred before proceed-
ing further, ensuring exactly the same steam
power and distance as in the test.
When cleaning wooden surfaces (furniture,
doors, etc.) and brick floors always proceed
with caution since excessive use of steam
could damage the wax, the polish or the
colour of the surface to be cleaned. It is
therefore advisable to apply the steam to
these surfaces only for short periods at a
time or, instead to clean them with a cloth
that has been treated with steam.
On particularly delicate surfaces (e.g. syn-
thetic materials, enamelled surfaces, etc.)
we strongly recommend using the steam at
its lowest output power.
When cleaning glazed surfaces, if the
weather is particularly cold pre-heat the
glass working at distance of about 50 cm
away from the surface. To take care of your
plants, we recommend spraying them from a
distance of at least 50 cm.

The universal brush can be connected di-
rectly to the handle, or to the hose by means
of the extension tubes (D).
ASSEMBLING INSERTS:
to change the inserts, slide in the insert from
its position on the brush and slide in the re-
placement (Fig.C). When assembling the
two inserts with bristles (E2), position the
solid insert towards the BACK of the brush
and the grooved insert towards the front.
When assembling the inserts for suctioning
up liquids (E3), take care to ensure that their

It is possible to combine the 120° accessory
with the following other accessories:
•small coloured 120° brushes (L), suit-
able for removing caked dirt from very
small surfaces such as cooking rings,
shutters, between tiles, sanitary fittings
and so on. The different colours mean that
you can always keep the same small
brush for use on the same type of surface.
•The steam lance (K1)* allows you to
reach the most inaccessible places. Ideal
for cleaning radiators, doorposts, sills,
shutters and toilet bowls. To connect the
lance to the 120° accessory, screw it on
the 120° accessory, just like you screw the
coloured brushes. The coloured brushes
can be screwed on the lance itself.

large windows and surfaces;
•bristle attachment (P) is recommended
for carpeting, stairs, car interiors, and up-
holstered surfaces (AFTER TESTING
FIRST ON A HIDDEN PART, WAITING
AND SEEING HOW IT REACTS TO
STEAM TREATMENT). It is also useful for
removing animal hair from the same sur-
faces; a sponge cover (E5) may also be
attached to the nozzle.
Fit the attachments and slide them onto the
nozzle as shown in fig.D. To correctly use
the steam-suction squeegee proceed as fol-
lows:
• apply steam uniformly to the surface to be
cleaned to dissolve the soiling.
• Press the rubber squeegee against the
surface to be cleaned, moving it vertically
from top to bottom with the suction func-
tion switched on.
