Dear Customer,
Thank you for purchasing our product.
By choosing Vaporetto Lecoaspira, you will have a complete appliance for cleaning your home,
capable of vacuuming solids and liquids, sanitising with steam, drying and eliminating dust mites
and allergens. You can decide, depending on your needs, whether to use the steam and
suction together for complete cleaning, just the suction to effectively collect dust or just the
steam for specific cleaning tasks.
The Intelligent model is equipped with advanced features of the most modern electronics. In
fact, it is capable of operating fully 10 cleaning programmes, automatically setting the optimal
suction power and pressure of the steam depending on the surface to be cleaned.
The suction feature:
The heart of the filtration system is represented by the exclusive “Eco-Active” water filter,
patented by Polti. The “Eco-Active” water filter uses the natural purifying force of water to trap
dirt, preventing dispersion of dust into the environment. In addition, the HEPA filter collects
impurities including pollen as well as dust mites.
The steam feature:
The Lecoaspira steam is dry and powerful. Thanks to the heat, it removes and dissolves dirt
eliminating grease, germs and dust mites. The sanitising force of steam is completely natural
and has a cleaning power that even the most modern chemical detergents cannot equal.
You can find useful suggestions on our website www.polti.com to take full advantage of all the
features of your EcoSteamVac. Please consult the “Guide for a Healthy and Clean Home” found
on the home page of the website.
We hope you enjoy your Polti product.
This unit conforms with EC-directives 2004/108/CE (EMC) and 2006/95/CE
(low voltage).
Polti S.p.A. reserves the right to change equipment or accessory specification wi-
thout prior notice.
Read these instructions carefully before using the appliance.

ENGLISH
Lecoaspira Intelligent 2.0 s a multi-function appliance which, depending on the need and type of
cleaning you want to do, can be used:
- Just as a vacuum to remove dust from surfaces. In this case, remember to add water to the dirt
collection container (see Paragraph 1 of the “preparing for use”)
- Just as a steam cleaner to sanitise surfaces. For this feature, the container must be filled with wa-
ter to supply the boiler (see Paragraph 2 of the “preparing for use”)
- To use the suction and steam features at the same time to vacuum, wash and dry at the same
time. Naturally, in this case both the dirt collection container and the tank must be filled.
PREPARING FOR USE
1) IF YOU HAVE TO VACUUM:
1.A ) FILL THE DIRT COLLECTION CONTAINER/FILTER WITH WATER
Lift the handle (22) of the dirt collection container (20) (fig. 2). Remove the container (20) dfrom its hou-
sing , turn the handle (22) of the container backwards (fig. 3) in order to remove the “Eco-Active” filter
assembly (23). Fill the container with about 1,2 l of plain tap water up to the MAX indicator (21).
You can also add Bioecologico, the natural, anti-foam liquid and deodorant to the container which, in ad-
dition to filling the room with a pleasant perfume, prevents the formation of foam in the water filter, guaran-
teeing the correct operation of the appliance. (For more detailed information please refer to the specific
paragraph).
Replace the filter assembly (23) in the dirt container (20) returning it to its original position. Reposition the
dirt container (20) in the specific space and turn the handle until it returns to its starting position.
1.B ) WATER REPLACEMENT DURING USE
Dust, solids or liquids can be vacuumed equally with this product.
When the dirt sucked into the water container (20) reaches the maximum allowed level, suction will
be automatically blocked by the special safety float. This can also occur when the water in the contai-
ner is very dirty. In these cases, there is an increase in the motor rpm and after 10 seconds the ap-
pliance automatically pauses; the suction speed lights (8C) and the suction light (8E) flash. When this
occurs, the water must be replaced in the container.
Turn off the appliance and only restart it when the level of the water in the container has been resto-
red as described in the chapter “Emptying and cleaning the dirt container”.
Any immediate restarting when the appliance has gone into pause mode can damage the air outlet
filter.
2) IF YOU NEED TO USE THE STEAM FEATURE:
2.A - FILLING THE TANK
Turn the cap of the tank outwards (7) (fig. 1). Fill the self-filling tank with approx. 560 cc – in any case
to above the maximum level of the float (Fig. 2) – of normal water using the filler bottle (Q).
N.B. Ordinary tap water may also be used. However, since water contains limestone by nature, which

ENGLISH
may cause scaling in the long run, we recommend using a mixture of 50% tap water and 50% deminera-
lised water. To use tap water only and avoid scale formation, we recommend the addition of the special
natural scale removal agent KALSTOP FP 2003.
Do not use only demineralized water but mix it as described above with tap water.
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 unwelcome difficulties. Never use distilled water or scented water.
2.B - FILLING THE BOILER DURING USE
Thanks to the self-filling system, it is no longer necessary to stop and wait before refilling the boiler
with water.
When the water in the boiler is at the minimum level, the level sensor automatically draws off water
from the tank by means of a pump which fills the boiler. When the water in the self-filling tank runs
out, the “Out of water” indicator light (8G) will light up and a buzzer will sound.
To continue working, just follow the indications in the paragraph “Preparing for use”.
3) SWITCHING ON
Open the built-in socket door (9), insert the built-in plug (A6) of the flexible hose (A) pushing it until
you hear the click of the hooking mechanism (A7) (Fig. 6).
Connect the power plug (13) to a suitable electric socket.
Switch on the appliance by pressing the power switch (1) (fig.7). A buzzer indicates that the ap-
pliance has been turned on correctly, and it starts automatically in manual mode MA.
N.B. The handle of the flexible hose (A2) is fitted with a safety button (A3) to prevent the acciden-
tal activation of steam delivery by children or people who do not know how it works. Should the ap-
pliance be left momentarily unguarded, move the safety button (A3) to the off position. To continue
steam delivery, move the switch back to its original position.
4) HOW TO USE
Lecoaspira Intelligent 2.0 can be used two different ways:
MANUAL OR PROGRAMMED.
MANUAL MODE: envisages the possibility of manually adjusting the quantity of water dispensed
and the suction power based on need and the surfaces to be cleaned.
PROGRAMMED MODE: allows you to choose from 10 pre-set cleaning programmes. Every pro-
gramme is developed to automatically dispense, in sequence, the amount of steam and suction
power necessary to clean a specific surface. In programmes that envisage the use of the two fun-
ctions, steam and suction, the suction function starts automatically after the steam function and
lasts in proportion to that of the steam, enabling the surface treated to dry.
The times that steam and suction are supplied have been carefully calibrated for various types of
LECOASPIRA INTELLIGENT vers. 2012_mod7:Layout 1 11/04/2012 8.49 Pagina 152

LECOASPIRA INTELLIGENT 2.0

ENGLISH
surfaces and have been developed on surfaces with standard dimensions. When cleaning very
large areas, at the end of the cycle it is possible to immediately restart the programme by simply
pressing the A5key in order to complete the cleaning of the entire surface.
Otherwise it is possible to finish the job in manual mode (see paragraph SET THE SUCTION LE-
VEL IN MANUAL MODE for the suction function or paragraph SET THE STEAM LEVEL IN MA-
NUAL MODE for the steam function).
N.B. If using with a programme, remember that the suction speed and the quantity of steam are
reset and therefore it is not possible to adjust them manually.
5) HOW TO SET THE APPLIANCE IN MANUAL MODE
If the appliance is off: turn the appliance on by pressing the main switch (1). When it is turned on,
the appliance starts in manual mode MA.
If the appliance is set in programmed mode: when pressing the SET key (3), the indicator (8A)
starts to flash. Using the UP (4) and DOWN (5) keys it is possible to selected the programme MA.
Press OK to confirm the selection.
5.1) SET THE SUCTION LEVEL IN MANUAL MODE
By just pressing the suction button (A4) it is possible to start vacuuming. By holding the button (A4)
down it is possible to select the suction speed desired based on how dirty the surface is. By increa-
sing the suction power, the sections of the indicator (8C) increase; when reducing the suction po-
wer, the segments decrease.
The suction function can be adjusted to 4 levels of strength, for cleaning:
- level 1: curtains
- level 2: sofas and cushions
- level 3: rugs/carpets
- level 4: floors or for suctioning liquids
To stop the suction just press button (A4) once. Suction will stop.
N.B. When the appliance is turned back on, the suction level is the one that was set the last time it
was used.
5.2) SET THE STEAM LEVEL IN MANUAL MODE
Turn on the boiler using the UP (4) key. The two indicators (8B) and (8F) start to flash.
Select the steam pressure desired by pressing the UP (4) key again. In fact, every time the key is
pressed, one of the steam pressure indicators goes on (8B) with a resulting increase in the pres-
sure of the steam being supplied.
The DOWN (5) key performs the reverse function; in other words, every time the DOWN (5) key is
pressed there is a decrease in the steam pressure and the indicators go off (8B).
It is possible to regulate up to 4 levels of steam:
- Strong steam: (4 indicators lit) to remove scale, stains, grease and to sanitise;
- Normal steam: (2 or 3 indicators lit) for carpets, rugs, glass, parquet and floors;
- Gentle steam: (1 indicator on) to steam plants, clean delicate fabrics, wall coverings and sofas.
After setting the level desired, wait until the indicators (8B) and (8F) remain lit. This means that the

pressure of the steam corresponds to the one actually selected and the appliance is ready to be
used.
Press the button (A5) on the handle to dispense steam over the surface to be cleaned and the in-
dicator (8D) lights up.
To stop the steam flow, simply release the button (A5).
N.B. When first operating it, there may be some drops of water mixed with the steam due to imper-
fect thermal stabilisation. We therefore recommend that the first jet of steam be directed onto a rag.

To select a pre-set programme, press the SET key (3); when the indicator (8A) starts to flash, it is
possible to select the desired programme with the UP (4) and DOWN (5) keys. Press the OK (2)
key to confirm the selection.
The boiler turns on automatically in the 1 to 9 programmes. Wait until the indicators (8B) and (8F)
stay lit. This means that the steam pressure corresponds to the one necessary to use the pre-set
programme. The appliance is now ready to be used.
It will only be necessary to press the steam button (A5), except for the P0 programme which is suc-
tion only and starts by pressing the suction button (A4).
Based on the programme selected, there will be an alternating sequence of steam and suction.
N.B. In order to guarantee the maximum safety of the user, European Regulation 60335-2-54 envi-
sages that the supply of steam must occur in a voluntary manner. Because of this, when the pro-
grammes described were developed, it was not possible to automate the steam supply function.
7) CONNECTING THE ACCESSORIES
7.1) STEAM + SUCTION EXTENSION TUBES
To connect the two extension tubes together (B) and (B1) it is important to pay attention to the di-
rection indicated by the arrows. The appliance is in fact equipped with a parking system on which it
is possible, when you have finished using them, to replace the extension tube accessory (B1). In-
correct assembly of the two parts, (B) and (B1), will not allow this feature to be used.
Hook both extension tubes (B) and (B1) to the connecting accessories (A1) of the flexible hose

- Check that it is firmly connected.
- There is also a lock button on the steam-suction extension tubes
- Band B1: proceed as above for the accessories, releasing the tubes by sliding the button as far
as the lock position (Fig. A3).
- To connect the special accessories only for suction (E2-F-G-H-I-L) it is only necessary to attach
them without coupling them to the locknut.
To connect the steam lance (E1) with the 120° accessory (E), just screw it on. The same operation
can be carried out for the coloured brushes (E3), which can in turn be screwed onto the 120° ac-
cessory (E) and onto the steam lance (E1). The different colours allow you to always use the same
brush for the same surface.

To fit the insert (C1 - C2 - C3), move outwards the two slides (C4) on the back of the brush. Fit the
insert into the lower part of the brush and block it by moving the slides (C4) inwards.
To fit the inserts on the steam-suction nozzle (D):
To fit the insert (D1 - D2 - D3), first insert the external side (1c), then turn it until it clicks into place
(2c).
