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.

• Do not direct the steam jet onto electrical
and/or electronic appliances.
• 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 devi-
ces which are to be replaced only by a sui-
tably 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 li-
mescale, 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 refil-
ling.
• 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.

1. Unscrew the patented safety cap (A) and
fill the boiler with about 1.3 litres of water
using the filler bottle (14) making sure that
it does not overflow (fig. 1). Normal tapwa-
ter 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, available from your Polti dea-
ler 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 da-
mage.
• Never use distilled water or scented
water.
2. Carefully screw on the safety cap to hand
tight (Fig. 2). Make sure the patented sa-
fety cap (A) is fully and correctly screwed
on, otherwise you may experience steam
escaping from around the cap.
3. Open the power cable storage (N) (fig.3),
unwind the power cable (F) from the cable
winder (O). Close the rear storage area
again, threading the cable through one of
the two slits (P). Connect the power sup-
ply cable (F) into an earthed power supply
of the correct voltage.
WARNING: Do NOT under any circumstan-
ces put or leave the filler bottle in the water fil-
ling aperture of the appliance when the ap-
pliance is connected to the mains electricity
supply. Danger of burns!

The first burst of steam may contain some
water droplets, due to imperfect thermic stabi-
lisation inside the flexible hose. We would
therefore advise that the first jet of steam is
played onto an old cloth until a constant pres-
sure of steam is obtained.
Note: the pressure indicator light (K) turns on
and off whilst using the Vaporetto. This indica-
tes the machine maintains the correct and

VAPORETTOs are equipped with a steam re-
gulator control (I) (Fig. 5). You can increase
steam flow by turning the handle in an anti-
clockwise direction. Turning it in a clockwise
direction reduces the flow. Here are some
suggestions for the choice of steam flow le-
vel:
• Strong steam: for encrusted dirt, stains, sa-
nitising, grease.
• Normal steam: for carpets, rugs, glass, tiles
etc.
• Delicate steam: for vaporising plants and
cleaning delicate fabrics, upholstery, wall-
paper etc.
Please read separate warning about use on
draylon, velvet and other delicate fabrics, or
on sensitive wood surfaces.

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), or by an audible alarm si-
gnal from the machine, or on more basic mo-
dels by the exhaustion of the steam output.
Water out is notified by the indicator light (J)
and by an acoustic warning inside the ap-
pliance. Whenever you have used up all the
water in the tank, follow the following proce-
dures:
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 sa-
fety cap (A)
6c. Wait for a few minutes to allow the gene-
rator 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 coo-
led, we recommend that you carefully
pour only very small quantities of water at
each pouring into the tank, so as to avoid

Vaporetto can quickly become an extre-
mely efficient ironing system, allowing
you to iron more quickly and with less
effort required. Simply connect the Vapo-
retto accessory iron to the product.
• mod. PFEU0013 – Professional iron
• mod. PFEU0031 – Stainless steel iron
The iron can be purchased from Polti ser-
vice centres and the best electrical ap-
pliance stores.
1d. Connect the connector assembly at the
end of the iron hose (4) to the generator
as shown in point 2a of the section “In-
structions for Use”.
Check the manufacturer’s label on the gar-
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 hea-
ting” 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.

• 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 ironing whilst sitting down,
take care to ensure that the jet of steam is
not angled towards your legs. Steam can
scald.
• 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.

WARNINGS
• DO NOT USE ON leather, wood or delicate
fabrics especially dralon, velvet and other
pile surfaces.
• For cleaning leather, wood or delicate fa-
brics 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
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.
• 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 clea-
ning brick floors: a too long application of
steam could damage wax, brightness or co-
lour of these surfaces.
• For delicate surfaces (e.g. synthetic mate-
rials, 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 thorou-
ghly, and if successful, make sure to use
exactly the same tool, technique, steam le-
vel and steam jet distance.
• If cleaning glass surfaces in particularly low
temperatures preheat the glass using the
hand gun from about 50 centimetres di-
stance 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 impre-
gnated with dirt. Use the brush directly
without the cloth on particularly dirty or incru-
sted 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) . Ap-
ply the same procedure to ceilings and verti-
cal surfaces, like wallpaper. The cloth can ea-
sily 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 win-
dow 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. VAPORETTO is ideal for both syntetic
and wool rugs as well as for all types of car-
pets. Its use ensures total hygiene, revives
colours and restores the original brilliance of
the pile. Drying occurs practically at once.
Fold a cotton cloth over 2 or 3 times (accor-
ding 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. Treat-
ment can be repeated as often as you like,
with no danger for the surfaces. Drying is vir-
tually immediate. Particularly dirty rugs may
need several treatments. Obstinate stains
may require the use of the steam gun (at a di-
stance 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 leathers (from a distance)
• 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
powerful jet of steam to otherwise inaccessi-
ble locations, such as radiators, door posts,
sills and shutters, as well as for sterilising toi-
let 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 clea-
ning 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.

•Before attempting any maintenance
operation, make sure to always discon-
nect the appliance from the mains
• Check periodically the condition of the co-
loured washer connections on the central
connector (4). If necessary, replace the wa-
shers with the spare washers supplied (15).
Make the same check also on the connec-

of the steam gun (2).
• To clean the body of the appliance, simply
use a moist cloth.
