THE INSTRUCTIONS AND
WARNINGS
IN THIS MANUAL, AND
ON THE APPLIANCE ITSELF.
Polti S.p.A. declines all liability for any
accident deriving from any improper use
of this appliance.
Only usage as detailed in this instruction
manual constitutes correct usage.
Any use which does not comply with
these instructions will invalidate the
warranty.

| 25|
during preparation, maintenance and
storage, always take the fundamental
precautions listed in this manual.
RISKS CONNECTED TO THE ELECTRIC
POWER SUPPLY – ELECTROCUTION
• The earthing system and highly sensi-
tive residual-current circuit breaker,
complete with magnetothermic cut-out
for your domestic system, guarantee
safe use of electrical appliances.
Therefore, for your own safety, check
that the electrical system to which the
appliance is connected complies with
current laws.
• Do not connect the appliance to the
mains if the voltage does not corre-
spond with that of the domestic electri-
cal circuit in use.
• Do not overload the sockets with adap-
tors and/or transformers. Only connect
the product to a single socket with cur-
rent that is compatible with the sup-
plied plug.
• Do not use electrical extension leads
that are unsuitable for the power rating
or which are not compliant with law.
They may overheat and possibly lead to
short circuiting, fire, power outage or
damage to the equipment. Only use ex-
tension leads which are certified, suita-
ble for the power rating, supporting at
least 16A or power above 2500W, and
earthed.
• To remove the plug from the socket, do
not pull the power cable, but hold the
plug itself to avoid damage to the plug
and the cable.
• Always unplug the appliance if it is not
in use and before any preparation,
maintenance or cleaning operation.
• The appliance must not be left unatten-
ded if plugged in to the mains.
• Fully unwind the cable from the cable
winder before connecting the appliance
to the mains and before use. Always use
the product with the cable completely
unwound.
• Do not pull or jerk the cable or expose it
to tensions (twisting, crushing or stret-
ching). Keep the cable away from hot
and/or sharp surfaces and elements.
Avoid crushing the cables in doors and
windows. Do not pull the cable tight
around corners. Avoid treading on the
cable. Do not pass over the cable with
the appliance. Do not wind the power
cable around the appliance, especially if
the appliance is hot.
• Do not substitute the plug on the power
cable.
• If the power cable is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, its service
agent or similarly qualified persons in or-
der to avoid all possible hazards. Do not
use the product if the power cable is da-
maged.
• Do not touch or use the appliance bare-
foot and/or with wet body or feet.
• Do not use the appliance near contai-
ners full of water, e.g. sinks, baths and
ENGLISH
PRELIMINARE LECOASPIRA FAV70_80 - 2015_vers7:UNICO 04/05/2015 17.28 Pagina 25

| 26|
swimming pools.
• Do not immerse the appliance, including
the power cable and plug, in water or
other liquids.
• Steam must not be directed towards
equipment containing electric or elec-
tronic components.
RISKS DURING USE OF THE PRODUCT –
INJURIES/SCALDING
• The product should not be used in areas
where there is a danger of explosions or
in the presence of toxic substances.
• Do not pour toxic substances, acids,
solvents, detergents, corrosive substan-
ces and/or explosives or perfumes into
the boiler.
• Only pour water or the water mix indi-
cated in the Chapter “WHICH WATER
TO USE” into the boiler.
• Do not vacuum or direct the steam jet
onto toxic substances, acids, solvents,
detergents or corrosive substances. The
handling and removal of dangerous
substances must be carried out accor-
ding to the indications of the manufac-
turers of these substances.
• Do not vacuum or direct the steam jet
onto explosive powders or liquids, hydro-
carbons, open flames and or extremely
hot objects.
• Keep all body parts away from the va-
cuum intake and from any moving parts.
• Do not use the vacuum function on
people and/or animals.
• Use the special carry handle for tran-
sport. Do not pull the power cable. Do
not use the power cable as a handle. Do
not lift the appliance using the power ca-
ble or the steam hoses/vacuum tubes.
Do not lift the product using the dirt col-
lector grip.
• Do not position the product near sour-
ces of heat such as fireplaces, stoves
and ovens.
• Do not obstruct the openings and grills
on the product.
• Do not direct the steam jet on any part of
the body of people or animals.
• Do not direct the steam jet on clothes
while they are being worn.
• Cloths and rags and fabrics which have
been subjected to a deep steam reach
very high temperatures, above 100°C.
Wait a few minutes and check that they
have cooled before handling them. The-
refore, avoid contact with the skin if
they have just been steamed.
• During use, keep the product in a hori-
zontal position on stable surfaces.
• The steam lock on the handle guaran-
tees greater safety, as it prevents the
accidental activation of steam delivery
by children or people who are unaware
of the function of the appliance. When
steam is not being used, engage the
steam lock.
To continue steam delivery, return the
switch to its original position.

INFORMATION FOR USERS
Pursuant to European Directive 2012/19/EU, regarding elec-
tric and electronic appliances, this appliance must not be di-
sposed of with domestic waste, but sent to an official collec-
tion facility. This appliance complies with EU Directive
2011/65/EU
The crossed-out bin symbol on the appliance indica-
tes that, at the end of its useful lifespan, the product
must be disposed of separately from other waste.
Therefore, at the end of its life, the user must hando-
ver the appliance to an appropriate collection centre for elec-
tric and electronic waste. Proper separate waste collection to
facilitate the subsequent recycling, treatment and environ-
mentally compatible disposal of the appliance helps to pre-
vent negative effects on the environment and human health,
and promotes recycling of the materials the product is made
of. Unlawful disposal by the owner involves the application of
the administrative sanctions envisaged by current legislation.
POLTI S.p.A. reserves the right to change equipment or acces-
sory specifications without prior notice.
Before leaving our factory all our products are rigorously te-
sted. This is the reason why your Vaporetto Lecoaspira may
contain some residual water in the boiler and in the tank.
WHICH WATER TO USE IN THE BOILER
This appliance has been designed to function with normal
medium-hardness tap water between 8°F and 20°F. If the tap
water contains a lot of calcium carbonate, use a mix composed
of 50% tap water and 50% widely available demineralised water.
Do not use pure demineralised water.
Warning: check the hardness of the water at the technical office
at your local council or the local water supplier.
If you only use tap water, you can reduce the formation of
limescale by using the special Kalstop FP2003 decalcifying
product, distributed by Polti, and available for sale at all major
domestic-appliance stores or online at www.polti.com.
Never use distilled water, rain water or water containing
additives (e.g. starch, perfumes), or water produced by other
domestic appliances, water softeners and filter jugs.
Do not use chemical substances or detergents.
1. PREPARING FOR USE (see page 4)
1.1 Lift the handle of the water filter collector and remove the
collector from its housing.
1.2 Turn the handle of the water filter collector and remove the
water filter unit.
1.3 Fill the water filter collector with about 1.2 l of tap water up
to the MAX indicator.
1.4 Replace the filter unit in the water filter collector returning
it to its original position.
1.5 Reposition the water filter collector in its housing and turn
the handle until it returns to its starting position.
1.6 Turn the door of the tank outwards and fill the tank with
approximately 550 ml of water using the special filler jug, at
least until the maximum-level float is visible. Close the door.
This operation must always be carried out with the power cable
disconnected from the mains.
1.7 Open the door of the built-in socket and insert the built-in
plug of the flexible steam/vacuum hose.
1.8 Completely unwind the power cable and connect it to an
appropriate mains socket. Always use the product with the
cable completely unwound.
1.9 The appliance is ready for use.
WARNING: When first operating steam, there may be some
drops of water mixed with the steam due to temperature
imbalances. Direct the first jet of steam onto a rag.
Use tap water in the water filter collector.
There could be accessories in the water filter collector,
therefore remove them before using the appliance.
Add Bioecologico to the water in the water-filter collector. This
anti-foam and deodorising liquid containing natural substances
releases a pleasant perfume into the room, prevents the
formation of foam in the water filter, and guarantees the correct
operation of the appliance (Chapter 20)
WARNING: Incorrectly inserting the water filter collector can
cause a reduction in the suction capacity.
Avoid water leaks. Make sure that the water does not overflow,
to avoid wetting the surface on which your Lecoaspira is
resting.

2. CONNECTION OF ACCESSORIES (see page 4)
All the Vaporetto Lecoaspira accessories can be connected
directly to the flexible steam/vacuum hose or to the extension
hoses.
2.1 To connect the specific accessories for the suction and
steaming features proceed as follows:
Move the locknut of the accessory, if
present, to the OPEN position and connect
the accessories.
Move the accessory locknut to the CLOSED
position. Check the strength of the
connection.
On the extension tubes there is an
additional fastening button: proceed as
described previously for the accessories
and release the tubes by sliding the button
as far as the lock position.
2.2 To connect the special accessories only for suction it is only
necessary to attach them without coupling them to the locknut.
2.3 To connect the steam lance with the steam concentrator,
simply screw it on. The same operation can be carried out for the
coloured brushes, which can in turn be screwed onto the steam
concentrator and onto the steam lance. The different colours
allow you to always use the same brush for the same surface.
3. INTEGRATED CLEANING PROGRAMS
The appliance is equipped with preset programmes to
automatically regulate the steam pressure and the duration of
suction based on the surface in question.
3.1 Press the SET button on the control panel. When it is turned
on, the appliance starts in manual mode. Using the buttons
and it is possible to select the desired programme. Confirm
the selection by pressing the OK button.
To change the programme again, repeat the operation indicated
above.
4. MANUAL OPERATION
In this mode, it is possible to manually adjust the quantity of
steam dispensed and the suction speed.
Make sure that you have prepared the appliance following the
instructions provided in Chapter 1.
4.1 For suction only, press the suction button on the appliance
and proceed with cleaning.
The suction power can be adjusted, based on the surface to be
cleaned, by holding the suction button down. In this case the
number of segments on the suction indicators will increase or
decrease on the appliance control panel.
Hold the suction button down to stop suction.
4.2 For steam cleaning only, switch on the boiler using the
button . The pressure and boiler indicators will start flashing.
Select the steam pressure desired by pressing the button
again. One of the 4 pressure indicators lights up every time the
button is pressed, indicating the increase in the pressure of the
steam. Press the button to reduce the steam pressure. One of
the pressure indicators goes off every time the button is
pressed, showing the reduction in the steam pressure.
When the pressure indicator and the boiler indicator remain lit,
it means that the appliance has reached the desired steam
pressure.
Ensure that the steam lock on the handle is deactivated. Hold
the steam trigger to dispense steam, the relative indicator will
turn on.
To stop the steam flow, simply release the steam button.

Mites and dust can be removed from curtains and drapes by
steaming the fabric with just the handle. The steam is able to
remove odours and brighten up colours, allowing the fabric to
be washed less frequently.
For this surface, set the steam to level 1.
13.2 REMOVING STAINS FROM CARPETS AND UPHOLSTERY
Connect the concentrator accessory (4) without the bristly
round brush; direct the steam directly onto the stain with the
greatest angle possible (never vertically to the surface to be
cleaned) and place a cloth beyond the stain to collect the dirt
that has been “blown” away by the steam pressure.
For this surface, set the steam to level 1.
Connect the suction lance (11) to the concentrator accessory (4)
and activate suction to begin vacuuming the dirt removed which
has remained on the floor.
13.3 TAKING CARE OF PLANTS AND HUMIDIFYING ROOMS
To take care of your house plants, remove the dust from the
leaves using just the handle, vacuuming the surface: adjust the
steam to level 1 and vacuum at a distance of 50 cm. Plants
breathe better and will be cleaner and brighter. Furthermore,
you can also use the steam to refresh spaces, especially those
frequented by smokers.
WARNING: Steam.
Risk of scalding!
WARNING: Before cleaning the surface, always do a test on a
hidden part and see how it reacts to the application of steam.
WARNING: Do not direct the steam jet directly onto surfaces.

panel (tap or drop) will turn on and you will hear a beep.
To continue with steam cleaning, simply open the tank door
and add water.
19. AUTOMATIC SUCTION LOCK
When the dirt sucked into the water filter collector reaches the
maximum level allowed, suction will be automatically blocked
by the special safety float. This can also happen when the water
in the collector is very dirty. In these cases, there is an increase
in the motor rpm: it is therefore necessary to remove the water
in the collector.
Turn off the appliance and only restart it when the level of the water
in the collector has been restored as described in Chapter 1.
20. BIOECOLOGICO
Bioecologico is an anti-foaming and deodorising product
containing natural substances. It prevents foaming inside the
water filter thus ensuring correct functioning of the appliance.
When diluted inside the dirt collection tank, Bioecologico also
acts as an effective deodoriser and thanks to the natural
substances which it is composed of, it prevents unpleasant
smells inside the collection tank and releases a fresh clean
fragrance into the environment.
CONTAINS: Eugenol, Citral, Cinnamal - May cause an allergic
reaction.
Contents of the phial: 5 ml
