Dear Customer,
Thank You for choosing this Polti product.
By choosing L'Ecologico, you have thought of your family's health because
L'Ecologico is a friend to the environment, but an enemy of dust, pollen, mites and
their allergens. Thanks to the EcoActive-filter, its green heart, it traps the dirt in
the water which, when it is dirty, can be poured away without the risk of dust
escaping into the air.
With L'Ecologico Polti you can really relax, its filtering system of 8 layers Hepa
filter retains 99,99% of the particles down to 0,3µ, therefore the exiting air is
perfectly pure.
In addition, EcoActive-Filter eliminates dusty bags and all the problems related to
them.
With L'Ecologico you can suck up dry dirt, or liquids, satisfying all your domestic
cleaning needs.
The full accessory set will allow you to face cleaning problems, solving them
quickly and easily.
Before using L’Ecologico, read these instructions carefully.
What is the EcoActive-Filter ?
The EcoActive-Filter is the “green” heart of L’Ecologico and is composed of a
revolutionary water filter.
The EcoActive-Filter employs the natural purifying strength of water to catch the
dirt, avoiding irritating contact with dust and harmful dispersion of dust into the
environment.
It is specifically the flow of water contained in the special filter and its bubbling
that make cleaning operations with L'Ecologico so much more effective.
What is the HEPA filter ?
L'Ecologico is more than a vacuum cleaner, it is also an air purifier. In fact, it is
equipped with a special and very powerful HEPA filter, already used in professional
applications where the maximum hygiene is necessary.
It is able to retain 99,99% of the particles right down to 0,3µ, i.e. very thin dust,
pollen, mites and other micro-organisms.

"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 (6) of the L’ecologico, it will prevent 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.

•Switch off the appliance at the mains switch (1) and disconnect the power supply cable
from the mains. This precaution also allows the reset of the operation of the appliance
from the safety device.
•After sucking up liquids, be careful, when opening the cover, that no fluid remaining in
the suction tube falls on the Hepa filter.
•Unhook the lever (5) which is under the handle (3) (fig.1)
•Lift the cover (4) and take out the container (6) (fig.2)
•Remove the filter cage (fig.3), empty the container tilting it towards the groove (fig. 9)
and rinse it
•If you want to keep on vacuuming, restore the water level.
•Insert the filter cage back and put everything back in the
appliance.
•Close the cover until it clicks shut.
•The appliance is now ready to be stored.
Note: water remaining in the container does not damage the
appliance but it is always better to empty it before
storing L'Ecologico. One of the biggest advantages of L'Ecologico is the ability to
store it clean, unlike vacuum cleaners with a dust container which are stored
together with the dirt they have picked up.

This special joint - Polti exclusive patent - allows to reach the
most difficult areas without bending down.
Insert the Flexo joint between the handle and the telescopic
tube keeping the indentation on the front part of the handle.
To change the inclination, turn the ring (Y) (fig.10) half way
round. This way the joint is showing and it will allow you to
change the angle of operation of the tube fig.10.
When operations are over, put the joint back in its original
position, covering it with the ring to lock it into position.
