face.
•In case of accidental fall of the appliance it is
necessary to have it checked by an authori-
zed Polti Service Centre as the internal sa-
fety features may have been affected.
•In case of breakdown or malfunction switch
off the appliance and never attempt to disas-
semble it, but refer to an authorized Service
Centre.
•To avoid prejudicing the safety of the ap-
pliance, use only original spare parts and ac-
cessories approved by the manufacturer.
•Do not wind the power cable around the ap-
pliance, especially when the appliance is still
hot.
•During refilling with water, switch off and di-
sconnect the appliance from the mains.
•It is necessary to keep the unit in horizontal
position during operation.
•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 suita-
bly qualified technician.
•Do not direct the steam jet at people, ani-
mals or debris.
•Never place your hands inside the jet of
steam.
•Do not put any detergent or chemical sub-
stance in the boiler. Water by its nature con-
tains magnesium, mineral salts and other
deposits which in hard water areas can con-
tribute 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 water areas
we recommend the use of our KALSTOP, a
special natural-base decalcifier which inhi-
bits 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. KAL-
STOP 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.
•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 instruc-
tion 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.

•Press the ON/OFF switch (B).
•Wait for the steam ready indicator lamp
(C) to go out. The device is now ready to
be used.
•Wear Steam & Walk like a normal rucksack.
Adjust the front buckles and fasten them to
ensure suitable comfort.
•Before using the cloth supplied, steam the
surface to be treated with the brush for 15-
20 seconds in order to stabilise the ap-
pliance operating temperature.
•The jet of steam is activated by gently pres-
sing the brush on the surface to be treated.
•Apply the cloth to the brush using the Velcro
on it (fig.4).
Cloth (O) is suitable for cleaning smooth sur-
faces. Its special composition means that it
dries surfaces well.
Cloth (P) is instead suitable for cleaning
rough surfaces, such as terracotta, and
cleans more thoroughly.
•You can begin use according to the advice
given in the next paragraph.
•After particularly intense use, the cloth may
be soaked in dirt and steam. If so, replace
the cloth with a clean one.

•Please pay careful attention when cleaning
wooden surfaces and treated terracotta floo-
ring as prolonged use of steam may damage
the wax, polish or colour of the surfaces to
be cleaned. We therefore recommend only
steaming these surfaces for short periods of
time, or cleaning using a previously steamed
cloth.
•To clean efficiently, start from the corners of
the rooms, moving backwards to clean the
surface.
•Always supply steam when pushing the
brush forwards, then pick up the dirt, pulling
the brush backwards (without supplying
steam).
•For a more efficient collection, pull the brush
towards you in an “S” shape (fig. 5).

WARNING: surfaces must be treatable,
such as tiled walls of kitchens and bath-
rooms. DO NOT USE on painted walls or
surfaces not suitable for steam use.
•To clean the vertical surfaces, lock the brush
in order that the joint remains fixed.
To do so, simply lower the lock as shown in
figure6.
•To release the joint, restore the lock to its ori-
ginal position.
It is also useful to lock the joint when resting
the brush during storage.
