Dear Customer,
We wish to thank you for placing your trust in us, and choosing this Polti product.
In choosing your Vaporetto Lecosapira 910 - 910 KIT you were thinking of the hygiene of your
home and of the health of your family, because the Vaporetto Lecosapira 910 - 910 KIT lets
you clean all kinds of washable surfaces with the power that steam provides. It dissolves and
collects the dirt and traps dust-mites and allergens in the water.
The Super Power device cuts waiting time as the steam is always powerful and constant.
Thanks to the EcoActive-Filter, once you have finished your cleaning you will be able to pour
away the dirty water with no danger of scattering dust everywhere. The air-filtering system is
completed by the HEPA filter, which retains even the finest particles, so that the output air is
thoroughly clean.
Thanks to the complete set of accessories, you will be able to tackle your cleaning problems,
solving them effortlessly and saving time.
The controls of the equipment are also available on the handle so that they are right there with-
in easy reach, without you having to bend down.
With the Vaporetto Lecosapira you will be able to use steam and suction together for a com-
plete clean, suction alone so as to collect all the dust efficiently; or steam alone for specific
cleaning tasks.
We strongly recommend reading this instruction booklet carefully before using Vaporetto
Lecoaspira.
What is the Super Power device?
The Super Power device consists of a double resistor combined with a special pressure switch,
making it possible to cut heating time and maintaining a stable working pressure, so as to en-
sure a large quantity of steam at a constant temperature.
What is the EcoActive-Filter?
The EcoActive-Filter is a revolutionary water-based filter. EcoActive-Filter uses the natural puri-
fying property of water to capture the dirt, thus avoiding unpleasant contact with the dust and
its harmful dispersion into the environment. It is precisely the flow of water contained in the
special filter and its bubbling that collect the dust.
What is the HEPA filter?
The Vaporetto Lecosaspira has a special very powerful HEPA filter. It is already being used in
professional applications where hygiene is an essential requirement, and it is capable of retain-
ing even the finest pollen, dust-mites and other micro-organisms.
Polti S.p.A. reserves the right to change equipment or accessory specification without prior notice.

•Read these instructions for use carefully before
using the Vaporetto Lecoaspira.
•Before connecting the Vaporetto Lecoaspira,
make sure that the mains voltage is the same as
the voltage indicated on the data label of the ap-
pliance and that the power outlet is connected
to earth.
•The wiring system to which the appliance is con-
nected must always comply with the laws in
force.
•Do not put any detergent or chemical substance
in the tank. Water by its nature contains magne-
sium, mineral salts and other deposits which in
hard water areas can contribute to limescale
build up in the tank. To avoid these problems, it
is necessary to swill out with tapwater and emp-
ty the generator tank after every 3 or 4 uses.In
very hard water areas we recommend the use of
our KALSTOP FP 2003, a special natural-base
decalcifier which inhibits and breaks down
limescale. 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.
•Never touch the appliance with wet hands or
feet with the cable plugged into the mains.
•Never dip the appliance in water or other liquids.
•Never leave the appliance unattended with the
cable plugged into the mains.
•Never let children or people who are not familiar
with how the Vaporetto Lecoaspira works use it.
•If the Vaporetto Lecoaspira is left unused, al-
ways disconnect it from the mains.
•In case of breakdown or malfunction switch off
the appliance and never attempt to disassemble
it, but refer to an authorized service centre.
•In order to avoid prejudicing the safety of the ap-
pliance, use only original spare parts and acces-
sories approved by the manufacturer.
•Do not use the appliance if the power cable or
other important parts are damaged.
•If it is necessary to replace the power supply ca-
ble, please refer to the nearest Polti authorised
service centre, since the use of a special tool is
necessary.
•Do not use the appliance to suck up acids or
solvents, as these might cause serious damage
to the appliance and above all do not suck in ex-
plosive dust or liquids, as these could cause ex-
plosions on coming into contact with the inside
components of the appliance.
•Use of the appliance in places where there is a
danger of explosions is prohibited.
•Do not suck up burning or incandescent objects
such as embers, ash or other material in which
combustion is taking place.
•Do not leave the appliance exposed to wind or
rain.
•Do not lay the hot appliance on surfaces sensi-
tive to heat.
•Do not use electric extension leads that are not
authorized by the manufacturer, as they may
cause damage or fire.
•In case of accidental fall of the appliance it is
necessary to have it checked by an authorized
service centre as the internal safety features
may have been affected.
•Do not unplug the appliance by pulling on the
power cable. Pull the plug out of the socket to
avoid damage to the cable and the socket.

•Pull the sealing cap of the self-filling tank (20)
upwards (Figure 1) and fill the tank with water
(using the special antidrop filler bottle (U) provid-
ed for this purpose) up to the MAX indicator on
the water input opening. The required quantity is
about 2.6 litres. Normal tapwater 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 decalci-
fier KALSTOP FP 2003.
Do not direct the steam jet
at people, animals or debris.
Danger of burns!
Never place your hands
inside the jet of steam.

This appliance can be used to suck up dust or liq-
uids equally easily.
However, if the water in the filter is very dirty it
should be replaced as described in the section
“Emptying and cleaning the water container”. When
the dirt sucked in reaches the maximum permitted
level in the water container (25), suction is stopped
automatically by the safety float provided for this
purpose (you will notice that the engine speed has
increased).
ATTENTION: switch off the appliance, and only
switch on again after restoring the water level in the
tank as described in the “emptying and cleaning the
water container” paragraph. IMMEDIATE RESTART
WITHOUT RESTORING THE WATER LEVEL CAN
DAMAGE THE AIR OUTLET FILTER. Before resuming
your cleaning operations, proceed as illustrated in

and always proceed only after carrying out a
test on a hidden part or a sample. Allow the area
treated with steam to dry and then check
whether any changes in colour or deformations
have occurred before proceeding further, ensur-
ing exactly the same steam power and distance
as in the test.
•When cleaning wooden surfaces (furniture,
doors, etc.) always proceed with caution since
excessive use of steam could damage the wax,
the polish or the colour of the surface to be
cleaned. It is therefore advisable to apply the
steam to these surfaces only for short periods
at a time or to clean them with a cloth that has
been treated with steam.
•On particularly delicate surfaces (e.g. synthetic
materials, enamelled surfaces, etc.) we strongly
recommend using the steam at its lowest output
power.
•When cleaning glazed surfaces, if the weather is
particularly cold pre-heat the glass working at
distance of about 50 cm away from the surface.
To take care of your plants, we recommend
spraying them from a distance of at least 50
cm.
UNIVERSAL BRUSH (E)
You can use this brush to clean large surfaces, tiled
or marble covered floors, parquet, carpets etc., us-
ing the following inserts supplied with it.
•Bristled inserts (E2), for use only when vacuum-
ing.
•Squeegee inserts (E3), to pick up liquids; rec-
ommended for smooth surfaces.
•Carpeting inserts (E4), suitable for fitted and
loose carpets.
The multi-purpose brush can be connected directly
to the pistol, or to the hose by means of the exten-
sion tubes (D).
ASSEMBLING INSERTS:
To change the inserts, slide out the insert from its
position on the brush and slide in the replacement.
When assembling the two inserts with bristles (E2),
position the solid insert towards the BACK of the
brush and the grooved insert towards the front
(fig. C).
When assembling the inserts for suctioning up liq-
uids (E3), take care to ensure that their SMOOTH
side faces inward.
120° STEAM-SUCTION ACCESSORY (K)
Use this accessory to clean areas that are difficult
to reach with the other accessories. The 120° ac-
cessory may be used for:
•treating stains on carpeting or loose carpets,
before going over them with the brush;
•cleaning stainless steel, windows, mirrors, lay-
ered coating and paintwork;
•cleaning corners such as stairs, windows
frames, door jambs, aluminium sections;
•cleaning the bases of taps;
•cleaning blinds, radiators, the interiors of cars;
•atomising house plants from a distance;
The 120° accessory can also be fitted directly onto
the handle (A2) or it can be connected to the flexi-
ble tube by means of the extension tubes (D).
It is possible to combine the 120° accessory with
the following other accessories:
•small coloured 120° brushes (L), suitable for re-
moving caked dirt from very small surfaces
such as cooking rings, shutters, between tiles,
sanitary fittings and so on. The different colours
mean that you can always keep the same small
brush for use on the same type of surface.
•The steam lance (K1) allows you to reach the
most inaccessible places. Ideal for cleaning ra-
diators, doorposts, sills, shutters and toilet
bowls. To connect the lance to the 120° acces-
sory screw it on the 120° accessory, as you
screw the coloured brushes. The coloured
brushes can be screwed on the lance itself.
SMALL STEAM-SUCTION UPHOLSTERY
NOZZLE (N)
We advise using this accessory on large windows,
large mirrors and smooth surfaces, or to clean up-
holstery surfaces such as sofas (see the draylon
warning above), mattresses, etc., using the follow-
ing attachments supplied with it:
•130 mm squeegee attachment (O), for smaller
windows;
•200 mm squeegee attachment (O1) for larger
windows and surfaces;
•bristled attachment (P) is recommended for car-
peting, stairs, car interiors, and upholstered sur-
faces (AFTER TESTING FIRST ON A HIDDEN
PART, WAITING AND SEEING HOW IT REACTS
TO STEAM TREATMENT). It is also useful for re-
moving animal hair from the same surfaces; a
sponge cover (E5) may also be attached to the
nozzle.
Fit the attachments and slide them onto the nozzle
as shown in the diagram D. To correctly use the
steam-suction squeegee proceed as follows:
•apply steam uniformly to the surface to be
cleaned to dissolve the soiling.
•Press the rubber squeegee against the surface
to be cleaned, moving it vertically from top to
bottom with the suction function switched on.

Warning: in particularly cold weather, pre-heat the
windows by applying steam from a distance of
about 50 cm from the surface to be cleaned.
JOKER BRUSH (F) (910 Kit)
With the Joker brush it is possible to remove all
types of solid or liquid dirt, and it will work on any
type of surface.
PARQUET ACCESSORY (G) (910 Kit)
This accessory is for use solely with the Joker
brush. Put the joker brush into place on the parquet
accessory as illustrated in Fig. 13. Apply the brush
to the accessory as indicated by the arrow so that
the two pieces fit onto each other and then hook
them together. To unhook the parquet accessory
from the joker brush pull the two levers on the
sides of the fitting outwards and then lift the brush
off (Fig. 14).
USING THE IRON (910 Kit)
- Connect the iron to the one-piece plug (B2) pro-
ceeding as shown in the “Operation” section.
- the iron will start to heat up once the steam gener-
ator reaches the first pressure level, about 5 min
after the appliance is switched on.

•For steam-ironing, adjust the temperature of the
iron by positioning the temperature control knob
(Y) to COTTON-LINEN.
•Wait for some minutes until the “Iron heating” in-
dicator light (X1) extinguishes to show that the
soleplate of the iron has reached the required
temperature.
•Press the steam request button (X) to enable
the steam to come out. The steam flow will stop
when the push-button is released. When you first
start to use the iron a few drops of water may
come out of the soleplate mixed with the steam
due to imperfect heat stabilisation. It is there-
fore advisable to direct the first jet of steam on-
to a rag.
•In order to obtain a continuous jet of steam
move the sliding switch (W1). The steam will
continue to come out even when the steam re-
quest button (X) is released. To stop the flow of
steam push the sliding switch backwards (W1).
NOTE: using the iron, it is advisable to adjust the
steam jet at a medium range, or to do some testing
in order to find the jet which is more suitable to the
fabric to be ironed.

•FOR DRY IRONING ONLY (NOT steam ironing),
press the main switch (1) and adjust the temper-
ature of the iron by temperature control knob (Y)
to the temperature required for the fabric (as
shown on the knob).
If in doubt about heat level on certain fabrics,
when DRY ironing, it is advisable to use the iron
at a low-range setting first, and gently increase
as and if necessary to avoid damage to fabrics.

•Never leave the iron unattended while it is on.
•Only iron on surfaces that withstand heat and
that allow the steam to penetrate through them.
An open-mesh ironing board is recommended.
•If you accidentally drop your iron, you should
have it checked by an authorized Polti Service
Centre because some internal malfunctioning
might have occurred, jeopardising the safety of
the product.
•ATTENTION: if you iron sitting down, do not
place your legs under the ironing board, the
steam can cause burns.

Before carrying out any type of maintenance make
sure that the power cable has been disconnected
from the mains.
After using the brushes it is advisable to allow the
bristles to cool in their natural position so as to
avoid them getting deformed in any way.
Check the conditions of the gaskets located inside
the monobloc plug (B2) periodically. If necessary,
replace them with the appropriate spares. Also car-
ry out the same check on the gaskets for connect-
ing the tubes (D) and the handle (A2).
To clean the outside of the appliance, just use a
damp cloth. Do not use solvents or detergents as
these might damage the plastic surface.
To clean the “ECOACTIVE-FILTER” holder and clean
or change the sponge filter, follow the instructions
in the paragraph headed “EMPTYING AND CLEAN-
ING THE WATER CONTAINER”.
Replacement off the HEPA filter cartridge
Note: The filter lasts for about 100 hours (approxi-
mately 6 months) when used normally in a domes-
tic environment. If the force of suction drops con-
siderably replace the filter cartridge even before
using it for 100 hours. Unhook the lever for open-
ing the air-output screen (17) and rotate it upwards
