Dear Customer,
We would like to thank you for choosing this Polti appliance.
By choosing Lecologico, you have made a healthy choice for your home. Lecologico by Polti
is a friend of the environment and an enemy to dust, pollens, dust mites and their allergens.
With its EcoActive-Filter, Lecologico traps dust in water; then the dirty water is simply poured
away- so no risk of dispersing the dust into the air around you. When you’ve finished, you can
put your Lecologico away perfectly clean.
With Polti’s Lecologico you can sigh with relief indeed. Its 6-stage filtering system with HEPA
filter guarantees that the air coming out of the vacuum cleaner is perfectly clean. The EcoAc-
tive-Filter also does away with the need for dusty bags and all the unpleasant handling of
them. With Lecologico you can vacuum up dry dirt, including large objects. Or even vacuum
up a limited amount of liquids, solving the problem of minor home troubles.
A complete set of accessories is provided to help you to do all cleaning tasks quickly and
without effort.
We suggest to you to read this instruction booklet carefully before using your Lecologico.
What is EcoActive-Filter?
EcoActive-Filter is the revolutionary “green” heart of Lecologico, because its effectiveness is
based on the natural purifying force of water. Just the water flow contained in the special filter
and its bubbling imprison dirt, preventing all contact with dust, and avoiding dispersal of dust
back into the air.
What is the HEPA filter?
Lecologico has a special extra powerful washable HEPA filter, previously used only in profes-
sional applications requiring the utmost hygiene. This filter stops even the finest dust, pollens,
dust mites and other microorganisms and is easily rinsed clean when dirty.
This unit conforms with EC-directives 89/336 as amended by 93/68
(EMC) and 73/23 as amended by 93/68 (low voltage).
Polti S.p.A. reserves the right to change equipment or accessory specification wi-
thout prior notice.

mitted level, the safety float (W) will automati-
cally stop the suction. The motor will turn over
audibly faster. After 10 seconds the appliance
will automatically pause and the four indicator
lights (14) will start flashing. To resume clea-
ning, perform the operations described in the
section on
“emptying and cleaning the water container”,
then top up the water level in the container.

We advise to use Bioecologico for sanitising
while using the suction function. It is a scented
antibacterial product with natural-based anti-al-
lergenic substances. If it is added regularly to
the water in the water container (6) of Leco-
logico, it will prevent the proliferation of bacte-
ria and micro-organisms and inhibit the action
of allergens. In addition to assuring a sanitising
action, Bioecologico eliminates smells due to
the presence of dust in the water.
Use:add 8 ml each time you fill the water con-
tainer.
Bioecologico is sold by Polti dealers or by our
authorised Assistance Centres. Bioecologico is
available in mountain pine or citrus flavour.

Turn off the appliance with the main switch (1)
and unplug the power cable. This precaution
also resets the safety device.
Remove the water container (6) from the ap-
pliance, holding it by the handle (4) (fig. 2). Re-
move the filter assembly (16) (fig. 3), empty the
container tipping it toward the side with the
spout (fig.10), and then rinse it out. Top up the
water level if you want to continue working.
Reassemble the filter cage and put it back in-
side the appliance. The appliance is now ready
to be put away.
Note: water in the container will not damage
the appliance, but it is advisable to empty the
container before putting away Lecologico. One
of the greatest benefits offered by Lecologico is
the fact that you can put it away clean, unlike
vacuum cleaners with bags, which must be put
away with the dirt in the bag.

Accessories can be connected directly to the
hose (D) or to the telescopic tube (A) or to the
jointed tube (M).
Using the telescopic tube (A)
The tube is about 60 cm long when closed, 1 m
when extended to its greatest length. To in-
crease or decrease length, press the release
button (A1) positioned as shown in fig. 6 and
extend or reduce length as desired.
Jointed tube (M)
The handy jointed tube is particularly adaptable
as it can be folded and adjusted to suit the task
in hand. It is handy for cleaning spots that are
hard to reach with traditional tools, such as
high shelves, the tops of wardrobes, underne-
ath furniture, etc. All other accessories can be
fitted to the jointed tube (fig.20).
Using the joker brush (B)
The Joker brush can be used to vacuum up
solids or liquids on any kind of surface.
Using the universal brush (C)
Connect the brush to the telescopic tube. Press
with your foot the selector on the brush (C1) to
change the suctioning surface without bending
down. The position with bristles extended is re-
commended for all non-carpeted floors.
The position without bristles is recommended
for carpets.
Multipurpose nozzle (E)
The multipurpose nozzle is recommended for
cleaning upholstery surfaces such as the joints
of sofas, armchairs, mattresses, car upholstery,
etc.
Lance for cleaning corners/skirting boards
(F) – radiator brush (L)
The lance (F) is recommended for thorough
vacuum cleaning of hard-to-reach spots such
as skirting-boards and folds in sofas, arm-
chairs, upholstered furniture and car uphol-
stery. Apply the radiator brush (L) to the tip of
the lance (F) to clean inside radiator elements
and remove accumulated dust.
Soft brush (G)
The soft brush has soft bristles for dusting deli-

cate surfaces such as picture frames, books,
etc.
Using the accessories holder hook (H) and
the accessories holder housing (11)
The holder can be used to fasten accessories
onto the body of the appliance or the handle.
Installation on the handle:
Hook one of the holder rings to the handle. In-
sert the accessories you want to keep within
reach in the rings (fig.11).
Installation on the appliance body:
Slide the accessories holder guide into the
groove on the back of the appliance as shown
in figure 12, proceeding to anchor the acces-
sories as described above. You can perform
the same operation to store the universal brush
(C) with the telescopic tube (A) attached to it
(fig.13).
Mini turbo brush (N)
The mini turbo brush is particularly recommen-
ded for cleaning sofas and armchairs, car
upholstery, fabric-covered walls, etc.
It easily removes dust, dandruff and textile resi-
dues. It is useful for preventing allergies, as the
mechanical action of the roller with bristles va-
cuums up animal hair.
Periodically clean the mini turbo brush as fol-
lows:
• Slacken the screws on the base of the brush
(fig.21).
• Separate the two parts that make up the
brush (fig.22).
• Vacuum up dirt inside the brush with the tube
with no tool on it (fig.23).
• Close the brush again, performing these
operations in reverse order (fig.24).
Parquet brush (O)
The parquet brush is designed to clean delicate
surfaces; it has bristles and wheels in specially
selected material to avoid damaging such sur-
faces.
Wheel covers for hardwood floors (P)
You should also use wheel covers (P) to pre-
vent damage to your hardwood floor. To as-
semble wheel covers, simply fit together the
two joints (P1) in the housings on the bottom of
the appliance (fig.14). To release the tool, sim-
ply press the two joints (P1) inward and lift off
the wheel cover.

light and heat sources. You should wait 24
hours before reassembling filters in the ap-
pliance.
• Replace the filters when torn.
• Filters should be cleaned every 4 months.
WARNING: do not clean filters with the brush,
as this could damage them, decreasing their fil-
tering capacity.
Do not use detergents, do not scrape filters,
and do not wash them in a dishwasher.
