IMPORTANT
Before leaving our factory all our products are rigo-
rously tested. There may, therefore, be water
remaining in the boiler and/or in the deodorant
reservoir of your Vaporetto (2C).
PREPARATION FOR USE
• Unscrew the safety cap (A) (Fig.1) and fill the
boiler with 1,6 litres of water, using the jug (10)
and the funnel (9) provided for this purpose
(Fig.2).
WARNING: When filling a hot boiler, we re-
commend adding small amounts of water to
avoid the water evaporating instantly with the
risk of burning.
This appliance has been designed to work with
normal tap water.
However, since water contains limescale by natu-
re, which may cause scaling in the long run, we
recommend using a mixture of 50% tap water
and 50% demineralised water or treated with
water softener systems. If using tap water only,
use the special natural scale removal agent
Kalstop FP2003 to stop limescale from forming.
Absolutely do not use distilled water, dryer
condensate water, perfumed water, rain
water, battery water, water from air conditio-
ning systems and the like. Do not use chemi-
cal substances or detergents.
• Screw the cap (A) back in, making sure that it
correctly tightened as far as it will go. If not,
steam could escape from the opening. In this
case turn off the appliance, unplug it from the
mains and wait for it to cool before screwing the
cap back on.
• Open the door of the one-piece socket (E); insert
the moulded plug (3) until a click is heard (Fig.3).
Make sure that it is firmly connected before pro-
ceeding any further. To release the sheath, sim-
ply press the release keys (E1) and at the same
time remove the moulded plug (3).
• Plug the power cable (F) into a suitable earthed
outlet.
NOTE: when filling, make sure that the water does
not overflow, to avoid wetting the surface on which
your Vaporella is resting
WARNING: Never leave the filling bottle or the
funnel resting on the mouth of the boiler, with
the product connected to the power supply,
since this could cause burns.
ACCESSORIES COMPARTMENT (H)
The smaller accessories are stored in the compart-
ment (H). To access it, activate the lever (G) while
lifting the upper part of the device (Fig.4).

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
• Press the ON/OFF switch (B). The power indica-
tor light will come on (C).
• Wait for the pressure indicator lamp (D) to light
up (about 10 minutes). Vaporetto is now ready
for use.
• The steam gun (2) has a safety switch (2A) that
prevents the accidental starting of the steam deli-
very by children or people unfamiliar with how the
appliance works.
When the button (2A) in the “OFF” position, the le-
ver that controls steam delivery is locked (Fig. 7).
To start delivering, press the button (2A) to “ON”
and turn the steam request command lever (4)
(Fig. 7).
The first jet of steam may contain some water
droplets, due to imperfect thermic stabilisation
inside the flexible hose. We would therefore advi-
se that the first jet of steam is played onto an old
cloth until a constant steam flow is obtained.
Note: The steam pressure indicator (D) may go
on and off from time to time during use of
Vaporetto, this is quite normal
VERY IMPORTANT WARNING: If you press the
steam request lever (4) when the appliance is still
under pressure, even if it is off and not connected to
the wiring system, you may still experience steam
escaping from the flexible hose. So when you swit-
ch off the appliance, before storing it, it is necces-
sary to press the lever (4) till the steam flow is
exhausted.
STEAM REGULATION FEATURE
VAPORETTOs are equipped with a steam regulator
control (M) (Fig.5). You can increase the steam flow
by turning the control in an anti-clockwise direction.
Turning it in a clockwise direction reduces the
steam flow. Here are some suggestions for the
choice of steam flow level:
•Strong steam: for encrusted dirt, stains, saniti-
sing, grease.
•Normal steam: for carpets, rugs, glass, tiles etc.
•Delicate steam: for vaporising plants and clea-
ning delicate fabrics, upholstery, wallpaper, par-
quet, laminate, etc.
CONNECTION OF ACCESSORIES
• To connect the extension tubes (7) to the grip, the
large brush (8) and the lance joint (13), simply
join them to one another until the accessory
locking button (11) clicks into place (Fig. 6).
• To release the accessories simply hold the but-
ton (11) down and separate the components (Fig.
6).
• Before using the accessories, make sure that
they are firmly in place.
SAFETY CAP / LACK OF WATER
This appliance is equipped with a safety cap which
prevents the boiler being opened even accidentally,
until minimum pressure is reached inside. This is
indicated by a safety peg located on the cap which,
when it comes out of the cap (Fig. A), indicates that
there is still pressure inside the appliance. When it
goes back completely into the cap (Fig. B), it indi-
cates that there is no longer pressure in the
appliance.
ATTENTION - Risk of burns:
Never force the cap open and never operate on
the safety peg if the appliance is still on and
connected to the mains or if it is still hot
Every time you want to open the safety cap, pro-
ceed as follows:
• Switch off the machine at the on/off switch (B).
• Disconnect the power supply cable (F) from
the mains.
• Operate the steam control lever (4) on the steam
sprayer (2) until steam stops flowing completely.
• Wait at least 15 minutes to allow the boiler to cool.
• Check that the peg has lowered.
• Unscrew anti-clockwise the patented safety cap
(A).
• Refill it by following the description of the PRE-
PARATION paragraph.
WARNING: Not complying with this procedu-
re can expose you to the risk of burns.
PRECAUTIONS FOR DELICATE SURFACES
• Before treating leather, special fabrics and wood
surfaces, consult the manufacturer’s instructions
and always carry out a test on a hidden part or
on a sample of the material. Allow the steamed
part to dry to make sure that no changes in co-
lour or deformations have occurred.

ENGLISH
• Please pay careful attention when cleaning woo-
den and treated terracotta flooring as prolonged
use of steam may damage the wax, polish or co-
lour of the surfaces to be cleaned. We therefore
recommend adjustment the steam to minimum (if
your appliance has steam adjustment) and never
direct the jet of steam directly on the surface, but
cover the brush with a cloth. Do not keep
spraying steam in the same place.
For wooden surfaces (furniture, doors, etc.), we
recommend cleaning with a cloth which has been
steamed previously.
• Also on particularly delicate surfaces (e.g.
synthetic materials, lacquered surfaces etc.) it is
recommended to always cover the brushes with
a cloth and to use steam to a minimum.
• If cleaning glass surfaces in particularly low tem-
peratures preheat the glass using the hand gun
from about 50 centimetres distance from the sur-
face to be cleaned.
• For care of your plants vaporise at a minimum di-
stance of 50 centimetres.
PRACTICAL ADVICE FOR THE USE OF THE
ACCESSORIES
STEAM GUN (2)
The handgun can be used directly, without connec-
ting the brushes, on all spots requiring a stronger,
closer treatment.
The more resistant the stain, the closer you should
hold the gun, the steam pressure and temperature
being higher at the source. You should however
always wipe with a dry cloth (or a slightly abrasive
sponge-if the spot is a difficult one to remove) after
using the gun.
The 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 knobs of cookers, and water tap basis
• Cleaning window shutters, heaters, car interiors;
• Spraying plants (from a distance);
• Removing odours and creases from clothes.
To reach higher points, the steam gun can be con-
nected to one or both extension tubes.
The steam gun (2) has a reservoir for deodorant
(2C) to be used exclusively with FrescoVapor (14),
a natural deodorant which, in addition to releasing a
pleasant fragrance, eliminates bad odours. To use
FrescoVapor, proceed as follows:
- Unscrew the cap (2B) (Fig. 14) of the deodorant
reservoir (2C) and fill it with FrescoVapor (Fig.
15).
- Screw on the cap (2B) (Fig.
- To adjust the quantity of deodorant, use the adju-
stment (2D) (Fig. 16), to reduce, to
increase. FrescoVapor can be used combined
with the steam to clean all surfaces and with all
the accessories, as described in the paragraph
“Use”.
Note:
- By increasing the quantity of deodorant, the sur-
face will be slightly damper, since FrescoVapor
mixes with the steam being dispensed.
To avoid dispensing FrescoVapor, turn the adjust-
ment (2D) completely forward ( OFF).
- The adjustment (2D) only determines the quantity
of deodorant that mixes with the steam. It does not
regulate the quantity of steam. To adjust the quan-
tity of steam, you must use the steam-adjustment
dial (M), as described in the paragraph “Steam
Adjustment”.
WARNING:
- Never put FrescoVapor in the boiler. Only use
water in the boiler, following the instructions
listed in the paragraph “Preparation”.
- Before using FrescoVapor on upholstery,
leather, special fabrics and wood surfaces, con-
sult the manufacturer’s instructions and always
carry out a test on a hidden part or sample of
the material. Allow the steamed part to dry to
make sure that no changes in colour or defor-
mations have occurred.
FLOOR BRUSH (8)
• To clean floors, attach a clean dry cloth to the spe-
cific hooks (8A) of the brush and wipe back and
forth without pressing.
• Use the brush without cloth over dirty or scaled
areas and over tile joints making lateral move-
ments to lift the dirt.
• For vertical washable surfaces or upholstery and
ceilings, cover the brush with a dry cloth and pro-
ceed as for the floor.
• On all types of synthetic or wool floor/wall carpets,
as well as area rugs, Vaporetto ensures maximum
hygiene, giving them back their original appearan-
ce and brightening up the colours. Run the brush
without cloth over the surface to make dirt rise to
the surface, cover the brush with a cotton cloth

VAPORETTO AIRPLUS
22
locking it in the relevant lever hooks (8A), then
wipe the surface again to collect the dirt. Proceed
rapidly and without pressing over the carpet, run-
ning the brush forward, backward and sideways
without pausing too long at the same point.
Treatment can be repeated as often as you like,
with no danger for the surfaces. The drying is almo-
st immediate. If the carpet is very dirty or saturated
with cleaning products, do not to insist too much.
Results will be evident only after a few uses of
Vaporetto.
• To clean stubborn stains, before cleaning as indi-
cated above, direct the steam directly onto the
stain with the greatest possible angle (never ver-
tically to the surface to be treated) and position a
cloth beyond the stain, in order to collect up the
dirt that has been “blown” away by the steam
pressure.
SMALL BRUSH (12)
To connect the small brush to the sheath or to
the extension tubes, first attach the lance (5) to
the small brush (12) so that the two arrows
found on the two components line up (Fig.8).
After this, insert the lance joint (13), turning it
until it is hooked into place with the accessory
(Fig. 9).
The small brush is used whenever the big brush is
too big or impractical to be used.
The small brush can be used for:
• furnishing fabrics (after testing on invisible parts-
see WARNINGS above at start of “TIPS FOR
BETTER UNIT PERFORMANCE”. DO NOT USE
ON DRALON, VELVET OR OTHER SIMILAR
PILE OR DELICATE SURFACES.
• small window surfaces
• tiles and other small surfaces
To clean wood (doorposts, floors etc) do not point
the steam directly but cover the big or small brush
with a double-folded cotton cloth.
For furniture cleaning direct the steam jet onto a dry
cotton cloth, and then clean with the cloth. The
warm moisture on the cloth traps the dust, spots
and the static electricity so that the furniture stays
clean longer as there is no detergent film for new
dust to stick to..
The following two accessories can be applied to the
small brush:
12A – Cloth for small brush: Fit the cloth over the
small brush and clean the surfaces to be treated.
12B – Window-cleaning tool for small brush:
Apply the tool to the small brush (without the cloth
(12A)) as shown in Figure 9. Window-cleaning is
carried out in two stages:
• Deliver of steam onto the surface to be cleaned,
by operating the steam delivery lever (4), to dis-
solve the dirt;
• Pass the window-cleaning tool over the surface
to remove the dirt, without delivering any more
steam.
LANCE (5)
To connect the lance (5) to the sheath or extension
tubes, first attach it to the lance joint (13). The lance
can be used to direct the flow of steam towards hid-
den corners that are difficult to reach with the steam
sprayer. It is ideal for cleaning radiators, door and
window jambs, sanitary fixtures and shutters. It is
an extremely useful and indispensable accessory.
The following accessories can be fitted to the lance:
6A – Curved tip for lance: suitable for reaching
even more inaccessible points, thanks to its curved
shape.
6B - Small round brush and 6C - Large round
brush - 6D) Brush with brass bristles: suitable
for removing caked dirt from very narrow surfaces
such as cooker burners, roller shutters, joints
between tiles, sanitary fixtures, etc.
Select the most appropriate brush, based on the
size and material of the surface to be treated.
To connect accessories 6A-6B-6C or 6D to the
lance (5), simply fit these accessories onto the tip of
the lance exerting a slight pressure (Fig.11).
STORING THE DEVICE
The device can be put away with the brush, tubes
and sheath housed in holsters (I) and (L) as shown
in fig. 12 and 13.The smaller accessories can be
stored inside the accessories compartment (H).
WARNING: Some HOT water may leak out of the
accessories mixed with the steam, especially when
the tank has just been filled, while carrying out the
cleaning operations and as a consequence of
movement of the device.
KALSTOP
Water by its nature contains magnesium, mineral
salts and other deposits which in hard water areas
can contribute to limescale build up in the tank. In
very hard water areas we recommend the use of
our Kalstop FP2003, a special natural-base decal-
cifier which inhibits and breaks down limescale.
This is a preventive against scale build-up and pro-
tects the metal walls of the boiler. Kalstop FP2003
can be found in small appliance stores, Polti ser-
vice centres and on the web site www.polti.com

For repairs, the appliance must be accompanied by proof of purchase.
Polti products are guaranteed to the original purchaser for two years from the date of purchase as
shown on a valid receipt issued by the seller.
This guarantee does not affect the consumer’s rights under European Directive 99/44/CE regarding
certain aspects of the sale and guarantee of consumer goods; consumers should address claims
under these provisions to the retailer where they purchased the goods.
This guarantee is effective in countries where European Directive 99/44/CE has been implemented.
Local guarantee legislation applies in all other countries.
During the guarantee period, Polti will repair products with defects in workmanship or materials at no
charge to the customer for either labour or materials.
In case of irreparable defects, Polti S.p.A. may replace the product free of charge.
A minor patent defect for which it was not possible, or is excessively expensive, to repair or replace
does not give the right to terminate the contract.
To have work performed under this guarantee, consumers must contact an Authorised Polti Techni-
cal Assistance Centre. The consumer must present a valid receipt issued by the seller at the time of
purchase as evidence of the date of purchase; without proof of purchase and the relative date, the
work will be charged. Therefore, please store your receipt carefully for the entire warranty period.
The warranty is subject to limitations and does not cover defects due to improper use or use other
than that indicated in the instruction booklet which forms an integral part of the sales contract of the
product. The warranty does not cover defects resulting from force majeure (fires, short circuits) or
caused by third parties (tampering). The warranty does not cover damages caused by the use of
non-original Polti parts, repairs or alterations performed by staff or service centres not authorised by
Polti.
The guarantee does not cover parts that are damaged by wear or subject to normal wear (consuma-
bles such as filters, brushes, etc.). The guarantee doesn’t cover any possible damage caused by li-
mescale. Polti will accept no responsibility for any injury to people or animals or damage to objects
directly or indirectly resulting from failure to follow the instructions provided in the instruction booklet,
in particular the warnings and product maintenance instructions.
The warranty does not cover the assembly of accessories that have been modified or are not adap-
ted to the appliance.
