Dear Customer,
Congratulations and thank you for purchasing this POLTI product, contributing to the con-
servation of our most precious natural resource: the Environment. VAPORETTO solves all cleaning and hygiene
problems without the use of detergents - all that’s needed is just normal tap water which our system transforms
into steam at a constant powerful pressure, allowing you to clean more thoroughly and in an ecological way.
Our Technical Development team have added a range of sophisticated improvements to make cleaning tasks
both safer and more effective:
• The new handle is smaller, lighter, easier to handle and more comfortable to use because you can start
producing steam with just one finger, by lightly pressing a button.
Safety is guaranteed by the strict tests all Polti products and accessories are subjected to. The STEAM
COMFORT handle has passed the strict Splash Proof Test certifying its resistance to splashes of water.
• The Safety Cap - a unique Polti patent, prevents opening whilst any residual pressure remains in the system.
• Steam pressure is controlled by a pressure switch and the steam flow can be regulated while operating.
Polti’s products are submitted to very strict testing. Vaporetto passed also the Splash Proof Test, since it has
been designed to be splash proof.
VAPORETTO is built according to the IEC regulations, and is equipped with a safety valve, a safety thermostat
and an additional protective thermostat which prevents operation of the machine when it is empty and which
maintains VAPORETTO in an absolutely safe condition at all times. The accessories and all the components are
manufactured with highest quality materials which are resistant to the high temperatures attained during the op-
eration of this machine.
Read these instructions carefully before using the appliance.

• Let the appliance cool down before cleaning
it.
• Before storing the appliance make sure that
it has completely cooled down.
• This appliance is equipped with safety de-
vices which are to be replaced only by a
suitably qualified technician.
• Do not direct the steam jet at people, ani-
mals or debris.
• Never place your hands inside the jet of
steam.
• When Refilling the boiler, use HOT rather
than cold water, pour in gently at first and
keep exposed skin and your face away.
Otherwise the still hot tank walls can spit
drops of very hot water or steam spray.
• Do not put any detergent or chemical sub-
stance in the boiler. Water by its nature
contains magnesium, mineral salts and
other deposits which in hard water areas
can contribute to limescale build up in the
boiler. To avoid these problems, it is neces-
sary to swill out with tapwater and empty
the boiler after every 3 or 4 uses.In very
hard water areas we recommend the use of
our KALSTOP, a special natural-base de-
calcifier which inhibits and breaks down
limescale, making it easy to remove just by
swilling out the tank with a little tapwater.
This is a preventive against scale build-up
and protects the metal walls of the steam
generator tank. KALSTOP is available from
Polti dealers or by mail-order from your
Polti Service Centre.
• We recommend you use original Polti
products only, as products of other
brands may not be suitable for use in
Polti products and could cause damage.
• Never use distilled water or scented wa-
ter.
• Make sure the patented safety cap is fully
and correctly screwed on, otherwise you
may experience steam escaping from
around the cap.
• Check periodically the safety cap and
MAKE SURE the rubber gasket is in place
around the base of the screw thread.
Replace with original spare parts if neces-
sary. DO NOT USE the appliance if the rub-
ber gasket is not in position.
• Do not refill the tank while it is still hot, allow
it to cool down for a few minutes before refill-
ing.
• Do not empy the appliance when the water in
the boiler is still hot.
• Do not try to unscrew the safety cap when
the appliance is in use.
• If you iron sitting down, do not put your legs
under the ironing board, the steam can
cause burns.
• Iron only on heat resistant surfaces and on
surfaces that allow the steam to escape,
e.g. mesh ironing boards.
• The iron must be used and rested on a sta-
ble surface.
• When placing the iron on its stand, make
sure that the surface on which the stand is
placed is stable.
• This appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or in-
struction concerning use of the appliance
by a person responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.
• The appliance must not be used if it has
fallen, been dropped or when it has visible
signs of damage or leaks.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be re-
placed by the manufacturer, its service
agent or similarly qualified persons in order
to avoid a hazard.

1. Unscrew the patented safety cap (A) and
fill the boiler with about 1,3 litres of water
using the filler bottle (14) (fig. 1). Normal
tapwater can be used. However, as hard
water by its nature contains limestone,
which may cause a build-up of limescale
in the tank, in hard water areas we rec-
ommend the use of our natural-base de-
calcifier KALSTOP, available from your
Polti dealer or by mail order from your
Polti service Centre.
2. Carefully screw on the safety cap to hand
tight (Fig. 2). Make sure the patented
safety cap (A) is fully and correctly
screwed on, otherwise you may experi-
ence steam escaping from around the
cap.
3. Pull the power supply cable (F) fully out
(fig. 3).

turn the regulator control clockwise. Turn the
control anticlockwise to reduce the flow.
Here are some suggestions for the choice of
steam flow level:
• Strong steam: for encrusted dirt, stains,
sanitising, grease.
• Normal steam: for carpets, rugs, glass, tiles
etc.
• Delicate steam: for vaporising plants and
cleaning delicate fabrics, upholstery, wall-
paper etc.

The appliance is equipped with a safety cap,
which prevents opening of the generator as
long as there is any pressure remaining in-
side. This is an important and indispensable
safety device, and it is necessary to follow
certain procedures when re-filling the tank.
According to model, ‘water out’ is indicated by
a warning light (J).
Whenever you have used up all the water in
the tank, follow the following procedures:
1c. Switch off the machine at the generator
on/off switch (B)
2c. Press the steam request lever (3) on the
steam gun (2) or, if using the iron, the
steam request button (R) on the iron (Q)
so as to fully exhaust the steam supply
from the tank.
3c. Switch OFF the accessory on/off switch
(C) .
4c. Disconnect the power supply cable (F)
from the mains.
5c. Unscrew anti-clockwise the patented
safety cap (A)
6c. Wait for a few minutes to allow the gener-
ator tank to cool down.
7c. When cool, proceed to carefully refill the
tank as described in paragraph 1 of the
section “Preparation for Use”. If refilling
the generator when not completely
cooled, we recommend that you carefully
pour only very small quantities of water at
each pouring into the tank, so as to avoid
spitting from the tank and cover exposed
skin and face whilst filling.

ment, and interpret the symbol on the label as
follows:
STEAM IRONING
2d. For STEAM ironing, turn the dial (S) and
set the iron temperature to its maximum
travel on the “COTTON-LINEN” steam po-
sition.
NB YOU MUST SET AT ITS MAXIMUM
POSITION, DO NOT SET AGAINST PIC-
TURE OF THE IRON ON THE DIAL (S).
Most types of fabric, other than delicates
can be STEAM ironed at this temperature,
please consult the garment manufac-
turer’s instructions on the label.
NB fabric indications on dial are for
DRY ironing, NOT steam ironing.
3d. Wait for a few minutes until the “Iron heat-
ing” indicator light (V) goes off, to show
that the soleplate of the iron has reached
the required temperature.
4d. Press the steam request button (R) to en-
able the steam to come out. The steam
flow will stop when the button is released.
After each filling, when you first start to
use the iron, a few drops of water mixed
with the steam may be emitted (due to im-
perfect heat stabilisation). It is therefore
advisable to direct the first jet of steam
onto a rag.
5d. The iron can also be used in a vertical po-
sition e.g. for removing creases from cur-
tain, clothing etc.
6d. To obtain a continuous jet of steam move
the sliding button (U). The steam will con-
tinue to come out even when the steam
request button (R) is released. To stop the
flow of steam push the sliding button (U)
backwards.
NOTE: using the iron, it is advisable to ad-
just the steam jet at medium output, or to
do some testing in order to find the jet
which is most suitable to the fabric to be
ironed.
RECOMMENDED TECHNIQUE for
steam ironing with the Polti iron is to AP-
PLY steam (button R) on the upstroke,
then release button R (so no steam) for
the backstroke, thus reclosing the fibres,
preventing oversteaming and wetness.
DRY IRONING
• If you need to DRY iron (ONLY) (NOT
steam ironing), press the accessory on/off
switch (C) and adjust the temperature of
the iron by setting the dial (S) to the tem-
perature required for the fabric (as shown
on the dial).
ATTENTION: when dry ironing, be careful
not to press the steam request button (R),
as hot water could come out of the iron onto
your garment and board.
I
IM MP PO OR RT TA AN NT T
• Do not leave the iron unattended whilst
connected to the mains.
• Iron only on heat resistant surfaces and on
surfaces that allow the steam to escape
e.g. MESH ironing boards.
•ATTENTION: if you iron sitting down, do
not place your legs under the ironing board,
the steam can cause burns.

• For cleaning leather, wood or delicate fab-
rics especially dralon, velvet and other pile
surfaces, consult the manufacturers in-
structions. 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

Allow the test area to dry completely before
observing results and effects on surface or
colour before proceeding to clean further
areas.
• For cleaning wood surfaces (furniture,
doors etc.) take great care as a too long ap-
plication of the steam could alter the waxed
appearance, the shine or the colour of the
surfaces cleaned. We therefore recom-
mend you to apply the steam on such sur-
faces only for brief periods or to clean these
surfaces using a cloth first held in the
steam.
• Please pay particular attention while clean-
ing brick floors: a too long application of
steam could damage wax, brightness or
colour of these surfaces.
• For delicate surfaces (e.g. synthetic materi-
als, lacquered surfaces etc.) we recom-
mend that the small brush should always
be covered with at least two cloths to re-
duce the intensity of the steam, and (on
machines with steam variation control) with
the steam set at low level. Always test first
on a non-visible area, allow to dry thor-
oughly, and if successful, make sure to use
exactly the same tool, technique, steam
level and steam jet distance.
• If cleaning glass surfaces in particularly low
temperatures preheat the glass using the
hand gun from about 50 centimetres dis-
tance from the surface to be cleaned.
• For care of your plants vaporise at a mini-
mum distance of 50 centimetres.
STEAM GUN (2)
The steam gun can be used directly on all
spots requiring a stronger, closer treatment
without connecting the brushes. The more re-
sistant the stain, the closer you should hold
the gun, the steam pressure and temperature
being higher at the source. Always wipe with
a dry cloth (or a slightly abrasive sponge if the
spot is a difficult one to remove) after using
the gun. Steam gun 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;
• cleaning cooking top knobs, taps bases
• cleaning window shutters, heaters, car inte-
riors;
• spraying plants (from a distance);
• removing odours and creases from clothes.
To reach higher points, the steam gun can be
connected to one or both extension tubes.
LARGE BRUSH (8)
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 impreg-
nated with dirt. Use the brush directly without
the cloth on particularly dirty or incrusted ar-
eas 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) . Apply the
same procedure to ceilings and vertical sur-
faces, like wallpaper. The cloth can easily be
fastened around the brush and held in place
by the 4 clips (9) 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 the brush.
VAPORETTO is ideal for both syntetic and
wool rugs as well as for all types of carpets.
Its use ensures total hygiene, revives colours
and restores the original brilliance of the pile.
Drying occurs practically at once. Fold a cot-
ton cloth over 2 or 3 times (according to the
length and resistance of the pile) and fasten it
onto the brush. Move the brush rapidly in all
directions without applying any pressure. You
should avoid lingering in the same place, as
this may soak the area. The treatment can be
repeated as frequently as you wish, with no

several treatments. Obstinate stains may re-
quire the use of the steam gun (at a distance
of 5-10 cm) prior to treatment.
SMALL BRUSH (12)
The small brush is used whenever the big
brush is too big or not practical to be used.
The small brush can be connected directly to
the steam gun or to the extension tubes. The
small brush can be used on:
• furnishing fabrics (after testing on small
parts)
• velvets and leather (not too close)
• car linings, car windows
• small window surfaces
• tile and other small surfaces
To clean wood ( doorposts , floors etc) do not
apply the steam directly but cover the brush
(big or small) with a doubled cotton cloth. For
furniture cleaning, direct the steam jet onto a
dry cotton cloth, and then start the cleaning.
The warm moisture on the cloth traps the
dust, spots and the static electricity so that
the furniture stays clean longer.
120° STEAM ACCESSORY (16)
The 120° accessory (which can be connected
directly to the gun or together with the exten-
sion tubes) allows you to concentrate a pow-
erful jet of steam to otherwise inaccessible lo-
cations, such as radiators, door posts, sills
and shutters, as well as for sterilising toilet
bowls. It’s a very useful and indispensable
tool.
WINDOW SQUEEGEE TOOL (18,19,20)
The window squeegee tool allows you to
clean effectively and rapidly all glass surfaces
without using detergents. Your glass will re-
main cleaner longer thanks to the absence of
the film normally left behind by chemical
cleaning products on which new dust and
grease can attach themselves.
Cleaning glass is done in two stages:
• Spray the steam onto the surface to be
cleaned to loosen the dirt (not touching with
the blade).
• Pull 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, at-
tach the window squeegee tool to the ex-
tension tubes.
LONG STEAM LANCE (21)
This accessory allows you to reach the most
inaccessible places. Ideal for cleaning large
radiators or shutters etc.
TRIANGULAR BRUSH (22)
A new accessory whose shape allows access
into the most difficult corners.

The Steam Disinfector is the sanitiser for
household surfaces that can connect up to
your Vaporetto to deliver steam at high tem-
peratures (up to 180°C) together with the
sanitising solution HPMed. The system allows
for the elimination of the bacterial, fungous
and viral load on the surfaces and fabrics to
which it is applied in just a few seconds. This
helps prevent the risk of possible infections.
When surfaces and fabrics are sanitised us-
ing the Steam Disinfector, the risk of conta-
gion deriving from surface contamination is
drastically reduced.
The Steam Disinfector is a Polti exclusive and
is only available from the best electrical appli-
ance stores.
