Congratulations!
With your purchase of a Polti Ecological Cleaning System you have opted for perfect
safety and ecological cleaning:
•Just use normal tap water. Do not put any other cleaning substances in
the generator tank.
•With the special No-Volt feature (exclusive Polti patent) there is absolute-
ly no electrical current in the hand gun which makes for absolute safety
in use.
•The splash proof protects your appliance even if accidentally brought in
to contact with liquids.
• This generator is equipped with the new Super Power feature. The maximum
power taken up when the machine is being heated from cold to ensure more rapid
heating of the water. Once a certain level of temperature has been reached (level
1), a cut out comes into operation, reducing the electricity consumption. The sys-
tem continues to heat using only the required amount of electricity to reach oper-
ating temperature most efficiently (level 2).
Using the pressing iron
When the optional professional strength pressing iron is used with the machine, in
order to optimise electricity consumption and reduce the initial heating time of the
water, the iron itself heats only to the first pressure level.
•The patented Polti safety cap of the generator, which cannot be unscrewed
whilst any pressure remains in the system, offers the best protection in
your daily homeworks.
Read these instructions carefully before use, and look out for the special safety tips
for steam cleaning and ironing:
This unit conforms with EC-directives 89/336 as amended by 93/68 (EMC)
and 73/23 as amended by 93/68 (low voltage).

• Before using your VAPORETTO carefully read these usage instructions.
• Before connecting VAPORETTO to the mains make sure that the current is the same as
that indicated for the machine and that the plug is an earthed plug.
• Do not put any detergent or chemical substance in the tank.
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 spe-
cial natural-base decalcifier 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 sca-
le build-up and protects the metal walls of the steam generator tank. KALSTOP is avai-
lable from Polti dealers or by mail-order from your Polti Service Centre.
• Do not refill the tank while it is still hot, allow it to cool down for a few minutes before
refilling.
• During filling and refilling we recommend you disconnect the machine from the mains
supply.
• Never empty VAPORETTO when the water inside the generator tank is still hot.
• Do not place the appliance or any of the tools whilst connected in water or in any oth-
er liquids.
• Do not touch the appliance with wet hands and feet whilst the appliance is connected
to the mains.
• Never leave the appliance unattended whilst it is connected to the mains.
• Do not allow VAPORETTO to be used by children or by people who are not familiar with
the usage instructions.
• We recommend that the appliance is disconnected from the mains whenever it is not in use.
• It is necessary to keep the unit in horizontal position during operation.
• When Refilling the generator tank, use HOT rather than cold water, pour in gently at first
and keep your face away. Otherwise the still hot tank walls can spit drops of very hot
water or steam spray.
• When cleaning ovens, refrigerators and other electrical appliances, ALWAYS clean with the
electricity supply switched off to the appliance you are cleaning, and make sure you keep
the steam well away from the parts which will be live when the appliance is re-connected.
• Do not leave the appliance exposed to wind or rain.
• Do not lay the hot appliance on surfaces sensitive to heat.
• Do not use electric extension leads that are not authorized by the manufacturer, as they
may cause damage or fire.
• In case of breakdown or malfunction switch off the appliance and never attempt to dis-
assemble it, but refer to an authorized service center.
• In case of accidental fall of the appliance it is necessary to have it checked by an autho-
rized service center as the internal safety features may have been affected.
• Never direct the jet of steam towards small particles of debris without first protecting
the user’s eyes.
Never place your hands
inside the jet of steam.
Danger of burns!
Do not direct the steam
jet at people or animals.
Danger of burns!

1. Unscrew the patented safety cap (A) and fill the gener-
ator with 2 litres of water, using the special anti-drop
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
recommend the use of our natural-base decalcifier
KALSTOP FP 2003.
2. Carefully screw on the safety cap to hand tight (Fig 2).
3. Connect the power supply cable (F) into an earthed
power supply of the correct voltage.

arate pressure indicator light, instead wait for the light
inside the generator on/off switch to go out).
VAPORETTO is now ready for use.
4a. The steam gun (2) is equipped with a safety switch (2A)
which prevents the accidental start of the steam jet by
children or people who do not know how to operate the
appliance. With the switch 2A in the “OFF” position, the
lever controlling the steam jet is locked. Should the
hose be left unattended for a moment whilst the appli-
ance is connected to the mains, it is recommended to put the safety switch in the “OFF”
position.
To start the steam jet, move the 2A switch backwards (ON) and activate the steam
request lever (fig.4). The first burst of steam may contain some water droplets, due
to imperfect thermic stabilisation inside the flexible hose. We would therefore advise
that the first jet of steam is played onto an old cloth until a constant pressure of steam
is obtained. Should the hose be submitted to an excessive torsion during the use, the
No-Volt device will stop the steam flux. In order to restore the output, just press the
steam request lever.
Note: The pressure indicator light (K) may go on and off from time to time during use of
VAPORETTO. This indicates the machine maintaining the correct and constant pressure
and is quite normal.

Some VAPORETTO models come equipped with a steam
regulator control (I) (Fig 5). You can use this control to
increase the steam flow by turning in an anti-clockwise
direction. Turning the control in a clockwise direction
reduces the steam 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, wallpaper etc. Please read separate
warning about use on draylon, velvet and other delicate
fabrics, or on sensitive wood surfaces.

All POLTI machines are equipped with the unique Polti patented safety cap, which prevents
opening of the generator tank as long as there is any pressure remaining inside the tank.
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), or by an audible alarm
signal from the machine, or on more basic models by the exhaustion of the steam output.
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 hand 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. Disconnect the power supply cable (F) from the mains.
4c. Unscrew anti-clockwise the patented safety cap (A)
5c. Wait for a few minutes to allow the generator tank to cool down.
6c. When cool proceed to carefully refill the tank as described in paragraph 1 of the sec-
tion “Preparation for Use” in the instructions. If refilling the generator when not com-
pletely 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 whilst filling.

1d. Connect the connector block at the end of the iron hose (4) to the generator as shown
in point 2A of the section “Instruction for Use”.
2d. For all steam ironing, position the temperature indicator dial (F) to the position
“COTONE - LINO”. For dry ironing set the temperature control dial according to the
fabric to be ironed as indicated on the dial.
3d. Wait for a few minutes for the indicator (R) to go out indicating that the sole plate of
the iron has reached the correct temperature.
4d. Press the steam request button on the iron (R) to allow the steam to exit. Releasing
this button stops the steam flow. At first you may find that the steam contains some
water globules and we recommend that the first jet of steam is therefore played onto
an old cloth, and is not directed onto the garment to be ironed.
For dry ironing do not press the steam request button (R).

5d. In order to have a continuous steam jet, move the button (U) forwards. Steam will keep
on coming out, even releasing the button. To interrupt the outlet, move the button (U)
backwards.
6d. The iron can also be used in a vertical position e.g. for removing creases from cur-
tain, clothing etc. IMPORTANT
• Do not leave the iron unattended whilst connected to the mains.
• Iron only on heat resistant surfaces on and on surfaces that allow the steam to escape
e.g. mesh ironing boards.
• If you accidentally drop your iron, you should have it checked by an authorized Polti Ser-
vice Centre because some internal malfunctionings might have occured, limiting the
safety of the product.

• 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, ensur-
ing that exactly the same distance and technique are applied as for the test area. If in
doubt, and on sensitive surfaces like fabrics, leather and wood it is always better to
ask advice from your Steam Cleaner dealer.
• For cleaning wood surfaces (furniture, doors etc.) take great care as too long an appli-
cation 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.
• Please pay particular attention while cleaning brick floors: a too long application of
steam could damage wax, brightness or colour of these surfaces.
• Delicate surfaces (e.g. synthetic materials, lacquered surfaces etc.) we recommend
that the small brush should always be covered with at least two cloths to reduce the
intensity of the steam, and (on machines with steam variation control) with the steam
set at low level.
• If cleaning glass surfaces in particularly low temperatures preheat the glass using the
hand gun from about 50 centimetres distance from the surface to be cleaned.
• For care of your plants vaporise at a minimum 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 resistant the stain, the closer you should hold
the gun; the steam pressure and temperature being higher at the source. You should how-
ever always wipe with a dry cloth (or a slightly abrasive sponge-if the spot is a difficult one
to remove) after using the gun.
