Dear Customer,
Congratulations and thank you for purchasing this POLTI product, contributing to the
conservation 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 sy-
stem.
• Steam pressure is controlled by a pressure switch and the steam flow can be regulated while opera-
ting.
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 ther-
mostat 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 operation of this machine.
Read these instructions carefully before using the appliance.

sium, 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 necessary to swill out with tapwater and empty
the boiler after every 3 or 4 uses.In very hard wa-
ter areas we recommend the use of our KAL-
STOP, 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 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 pro-
ducts 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 water.
• Make sure the patented safety cap is fully and
correctly screwed on, otherwise you may expe-
rience 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 necessary.
DO NOT USE the appliance if the rubber 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 refilling.
• 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 un-
der the ironing board, the steam can cause
burns.
• Iron only on heat resistant surfaces and on surfa-
ces that allow the steam to escape, e.g. mesh
ironing boards.
• The iron must be used and rested on a stable
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

1. Unscrew the patented safety cap (A) and fill the
boiler with about 1,3 litres of water using the fil-
ler bottle / funnel (14) making sure that it does
not overflow (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 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 experience steam escaping from around
the cap.
3. Connect the power supply cable (F) into an
earthed power supply of the correct voltage.
WARNING: Do NOT under any circumstances put
or leave the filler bottle in the water filling aperture
of the appliance when the appliance is connected
to the mains electricity supply. Danger of burns!
Always make sure generator on/off switch (B) is

2a. Open the cover of the central connector block
(D) and insert the central connector (4) pres-
sing the connector button (5) and taking care
that the locking tab (6) is correctly positioned in
the lock-in aperture (E) on the block (Fig. 3).
3a. When the generator on/off switch (B) goes out,
the steam cleaner is 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
(Fig.4b). Should the hose be left unattended for
a moment whilst the appliance is connected to
the mains, it is recommended to put the safety
switch in the “OFF” position. To start working,
set the (2A) switch to the “ON” position and
press the steam button (Fig.4a).
The first burst of steam may contain some water
droplets, due to imperfect thermic stabilisation in-
side 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.
Note: The generator on/off switch (B) may go on
and off from time to time during use of VAPO-
RETTO. This means the machine is maintaining the
correct and constant pressure and is quite normal.

VAPORETTOs are equipped with a steam regula-
tion control (I) (Fig. 5). You can increase the steam
flow by turning the control in clockwise direction.
Turning it in an anti- clockwise direction reduces
the steam flow. Here are some suggestions for the
choice of steam flow level:
• Strong steam: for encrusted dirt, stains, grease
and for sanitising.
• Normal steam: for carpets, rugs, glass, tiles etc.
• Delicate steam: for vaporising plants and clea-
ning delicate surfaces.

Check the manufacturer’s label on the garment,
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 position.
NB YOU MUST SET AT ITS MAXIMUM PO-
SITION, DO NOT SET AGAINST THE 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 manufacturer’s instruc-
tions on the label.
NB FABRIC INDICATIONS ON DIAL ARE
FOR DRY IRONING, NOT STEAM IRONING.
3d. Wait for a few minutes until the “Iron heating”
indicator light (V) goes out, to show that the so-
leplate of the iron has reached the required
temperature.
4d. Press the steam request button (R) to enable
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 imperfect heat stabilisation). It is there-
fore advisable to direct the first jet of steam
onto a rag.
5d. The iron can also be used in a vertical position
e.g. for removing creases from curtain, clothing
etc.
6d. To obtain a continuous jet of steam move the
sliding button (U). The steam will continue to
come out even when the steam request button
(R) is released. To stop the steam flow move
the sliding button backwards (U).
NOTE: using the iron, it is advisable to adjust
the steam jet at medium output, or to do some
testing in order to find the position on (U) which
is most suitable to the fabric to be ironed.
RECOMMENDED TECHNIQUE for steam iron-
ing with the Polti iron is APPLY 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
7d. 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 turn-
ing dial (S) to the temperature 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 gar-
ment and board.

WARNINGS
• 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 to-
gether 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 ob-
serving 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 application of
the steam could alter the waxed appearance, the
shine or the colour of the surfaces cleaned. We
therefore recommend you to 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 surfa-
ces.
• For delicate surfaces (e.g. synthetic materials,
lacquered surfaces etc.) we recommend to
always cover the small brush 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. Always test first on a
non-visible area, allow to dry thoroughly, and if
successful, be sure to use exactly the same tool,
technique, steam level and steam jet distance.
• If cleaning glass surfaces in particularly low tem-
peratures preheat the glass using the hand gun
from about 50 centimetres distance from the sur-
face to be cleaned.
• For care of your plants vaporise at a minimum di-
stance of 50 centimetres.
STEAM GUN (2)
The steam gun can be used directly on all spots re-
quiring a stronger, closer treatment without con-
necting the brushes. The more resistant the stain,
the closer you should hold the gun, the steam pres-
sure 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 interiors;
• spraying plants (from a distance);
• removing odours and creases from clothes.
To reach higher points, the steam gun can be con-
nected to one or both extension tubes.
LARGE BRUSH (8)
To clean floors, put a clean, dry kitchen cloth under
the brush and swing back and forth without ap-
plying any pressure. Use the other side of the cloth
when the first one is impregnated with dirt. Use the
brush directly without the cloth on particularly dirty
or incrusted areas 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) . The same procedures ap-
ply to ceilings and vertical surfaces, like wallpaper.
The cloth can easily be fastened around the brush
and held in place by the 4 clips (9) on the brush it-
self. Smooth cotton cloths are suitable for the treat-
ment 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-hea-
ting with the steam gun (from a distance of 50 cm),
prior to the actual cleaning with the the brush. VA-
PORETTO 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 ori-
ginal brilliance of the pile. Drying occurs practically
at once. Fold a cotton cloth over 2 or 3 times (ac-
cording 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. Particularly dirty rugs may need
several treatments. Obstinate stains may require
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 a small hidden
area)
• car linings (not pile surfaces), car windows (not
in freezing temperatures)
• 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 NOZZLE (16) (*)
The 120° nozzle (which can be connected directly
to the gun or together with the extension tubes) al-
lows you to concentrate a powerful jet of steam to
otherwise inaccessible locations, such as radiators,
door posts, sills and shutters, as well as for sterili-
sing toilet bowls. It’s a very useful and indispensa-
ble tool.
WINDOW SQUEEGEE TOOL (18,19,20) (*)
DO NOT USE STEAM ON GLASS IN FREEZING
TEMPERATURES
The window squeegee tool allows you to clean ef-
fectively and rapidly all glass surfaces without using
detergents. Your glass will remain 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

The Steam Disinfector is the sanitiser for household
surfaces that can connect up to your Vaporetto to
deliver steam at high temperatures (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 using the Steam
Disinfector, the risk of contagion deriving from sur-
face contamination is drastically reduced.
The Steam Disinfector is a Polti exclusive and is
only available from the best electrical appliance
stores.
