Vaporetto Lecoaspira 910 ENGLISH
This unit conforms with EC-directives 89/336 as amended by 93/68
(EMC) and 73/23 as amended by 93/68 (low voltage).
Dear Customer,
We wish to thank you for placing your trust in us and opting for a Polti product.
In choosing your Vaporetto Lecosapira 910 you were thinking of the hygiene of
your home and of the health of your family, because the Vaporetto Lecosapira 910
lets you clean all kinds of surfaces with the power that steam provides. It dissolves
and collects the dirt and traps dust-mites and allergens in the water.
The self-filling system and the Super Power device cuts waiting times and eliminate
stopping times for filling the boiler, as the steam is always powerful and constant.
Thanks to the EcoActive-Filter, once you have finished your cleaning you will be
able to pour away the dirty water with no danger of scattering dust everywhere.
The air-filtering system is completed by the HEPA filter, which retains even the
finest particles, so that the output air is thoroughly cleaned.
Thanks to the complete set of accessories, you will be able to tackle all your
cleaning problems, solving them effortlessly and saving time.
The controls of the equipment are also available on the handle so that they are
right there within easy reach, without having to bend down.
With the Vaporetto Lecosapira 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 booklet carefully before using the
Vaporetto Lecoaspira.
What is the Super Power device?
The Super Power device consists of a double resistor combined with a special
pressure switch, making it possible to cut heating time and maintaining a stable
working pressure, so as to ensure a large quantity of steam at a constant
temperature.
What is the EcoActive-Filter?
The EcoActive-Filter is a revolutionary water-based filter. 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 the Vaporetto Lecoaspira 910 so efficient.
What is the HEPA filter?
The Vaporetto Lecosaspira has a special very powerful HEPA filter. It is already
being used for professional applications in which hygiene is an essential
requirement, and it is capable of retaining even the finest pollen, dust-mites and
other micro-organisms.

• Pull the sealing cap of the self-filling tank (20) upwards
(Figure 1) and fill the tank with water (using the special anti-
drop filler bottle (U) provided for this purpose) up to the
MAX indicator on the water input opening. The required
quantity is about 2.6 litres.
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.
• Replace the sealing cap, making sure that the cap is
correctly fitted.
• Pull the lid of the accessory compartment (22) upwards
as shown in Figure 2 so that it comes unhooked.
• Lift the water container (25) and remove it from its
compartment by the container handle (26), pushing the
flap of the built-in socket (24) to one side as shown in
Figure 3.
• Press the lever for opening the handle of the water
container (27) and pull (Figure 4).
• Remove the "EcoActiveFilter" water filter assembly (28)
(Figure 5), and fill the container (25) with about 1 litre of
normal tap water.
• Put the filter assembly (28) back into place in the water
container (25) returning it to its initial position. Close the
handle of the container (26) making sure that it is correctly
positioned.
• Replace the water container back into position, making
sure that the tube through which air passes on the
EcoActive Filter water-based filter assembly coincides with
the fitting on the appliance.
• Put the lid of the accessory compartment (22) back into
place, making sure that the two levers on the lid match the
two clasps on the appliance and then turning it until it
hooks into place.

The Vaporetto Lecoaspira will enable you to optimise the
steam flow by means of the control knob (7) (Figure 7). To
obtain a higher flow rate turn the knob in a clockwise
direction. When the knob is turned in an anti-clockwise
direction the flow rate will decrease.
High flow rate of steam: for caked dirt, stains, sanitising,
grease;
Normal flow rate of steam: for wall-to-wall and loose
carpeting, windows, floors;
Low flow rate of steam: for spraying plants, cleaning delicate
fabrics, wallpaper, sofas and so on.
Important
Do not use on draylon, velvet or leather sofas.

This appliance can be used to suck up dust or liquids equally easily.
However, if the water in the filter is very dirty it should be replaced proceeding as descri-
bed in the section on "Emptying and cleaning the water container". When the dirt sucked
in reaches the maximum permitted level in the water container (25), suction is stopped
automatically by the safety float provided for this purpose (you will notice that the engine
speed has increased).
Before resuming your cleaning operations proceed as illustrated in the section on
"Emptying and cleaning the water container", and then top up the level of the water in the
container.

"Bioecologico" is available for sanitising while using the suction function. It is a scented
antibacterial product with natural-based anti-allergenic substances. If it is added regularly
to the water used to fill the water container (25) of the Vaporetto Lecoaspira, it will pre-
vent the proliferation of bacteria and micro-organisms and inhibit the action of allergens.
In addition to ensuring a sanitising action, "Biecologico" will eliminate smells due to the
presence of dust in the water, leaving a pleasant smell of cleanness in the room.
Use: Normally add 10 ml each time you fill the water-based filter.
Bioecologico is sold in household appliance shops or direct from our authorised Assistance
Centres.

outwards (Figure 11)
Pull the tube elbow (33) away from the body of the filter with
the micro-holed net (31) until it is removed (Figure 12).
Take all the components apart and rinse them in running
water.(if the filter sponge has any tears in it, it should be
replaced. The filter can be purchased from an authorised Pol-
ti Assistance centre).
If you wish to continue working, top up the level of the water.

place (22).
Note: Make sure you empty the water container (25) befo-
re putting your Vaporetto Lecoaspira away. One of the great advantages of the
Vaporetto Lecoaspira is precisely the fact that it is possible to put it away clean.
The self-filling system means that it is possible to have the boiler always full while working,
and when you have finished working the appliance can be put away without emptying either
the boiler or the water tank.

Before treating leather, special fabrics (especially draylon and velvet) or wooden surfaces
with steam, consult the manufacturers' instructions and always proceed only after carrying
out a test on a hidden part or a sample. Allow the area treated with steam to dry and then
check whether any changes in colour or deformations have occurred, before proceeding
further, ensuring exactly the same steam power and distance as in the test.
When cleaning wooden surfaces (furniture, doors, etc.), always proceed with caution sin-
ce excessive use of steam could damage the wax, the polish or the colour of the surfa-
ce to be cleaned. It is therefore advisable to apply the steam to these surfaces only for
short periods at a time or to clean them with a cloth that has been treated with steam.
On particularly delicate surfaces (e.g. synthetic 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.
