Dear Customer,
Thank you for purchasing our product.
By choosing Vaporetto Lecoaspira, you will have a complete appliance for cleaning your home,
capable of vacuuming solids and liquids, sanitising with steam, drying and eliminating dust mites
and allergens. You can decide, depending on your needs, whether to use the steam and
suction together for complete cleaning, just the suction to effectively collect dust or just the
steam for specific cleaning tasks.
The suction feature:
The heart of the filtration system is represented by the exclusive “Eco-Active” water filter,
patented by Polti. The “Eco-Active” water filter uses the natural purifying force of water to trap
dirt, preventing dispersion of dust into the environment. In addition, the HEPA filter collects
impurities including pollen as well as dust mites.
The steam feature:
The Lecoaspira steam is dry and powerful. Thanks to the heat, it removes and dissolves dirt
eliminating grease, germs and dust mites. The sanitising force of steam is completely natural
and has a cleaning power that even the most modern chemical detergents cannot equal.
You can find useful suggestions on our website www.polti.com to take full advantage of all the
features of your Lecoaspira. Please consult the “Guide for a Healthy and Clean Home” found
on the home page of the website.
We hope you enjoy your Polti product.
This unit conforms with EC-directives 2004/108/CE (EMC) and 2006/95/CE
(low voltage).
Polti S.p.A. reserves the right to change equipment or accessory specification wi-
thout prior notice.

LECOASPIRA PARQUET

ENGLISH
Lecoaspira Parquet is a multi-function appliance which, depending on the need and type of clea-
ning you want to do, can be used:
- Just as a vacuum to remove dust from surfaces. In this case, remember to add water to the dirt
collection container (see Paragraph 1 of the “preparing for use”)
- Just as a steam cleaner to sanitise surfaces. For this feature, the container must be filled with wa-
ter to supply the boiler (see Paragraph 2 of the “preparing for use”)
- To use the suction and steam features at the same time to vacuum, wash and dry at the same
time. Naturally, in this case both the dirt collection container and the tank must be filled.
PREPARING FOR USE
1) IF YOU HAVE TO VACUUM:
1.A) FILL THE DIRT COLLECTION CONTAINER/FILTER WITH WATER
Lift the handle (22) of the dirt collection container (20) (Fig. 3). Remove the container (20) from its
housing, turning the handle (22) of the container backwards (Fig. 4), in order to remove the “Eco-
Active” water filter unit”(23). Fill the container with about 1.2 L of plain tap water up to the MAX in-
dicator (21).
You can also add Bioecologico, the natural, anti-foam liquid and deodorant to the container which,
in addition to filling the room with a pleasant perfume, prevents the formation of foam in the water
filter, guaranteeing the correct operation of the appliance.
Replace the filter assembly (23) in the dirt container (20) restoring it to its original position.
Reposition the dirt container (20) in the specific space and turn the handle until it returns to its star-
ting position.
1.B) WATER REPLACEMENT DURING USE
Dust, solids or liquids can be vacuumed equally with this product.
When the dirt sucked into the water container (20) reaches the maximum allowed level, suction will
be automatically blocked by the special safety float.This can also occur when the water in the con-
tainer is very dirty. In these cases, there is an increase in the motor rpm and after 10 seconds the
device automatically pauses. When this occurs, the water must be replaced in the container.
Turn off the appliance and only restart it when the level of the water in the container has been re-
stored as described in the chapter “Emptying and cleaning the dirt container.”
Any immediate restarting when the appliance has gone into pause mode can damage the air outlet
filter.
2) IF YOU NEED TO USE THE STEAM FEATURE:
2.A) FILLING THE TANK
Turn the cap of the tank outwards (7) (Fig. 1). Fill the self-filling tank with approx. 560 cc – in any case
to above the maximum level of the float (Fig. 2) – of normal water using the filler bottle (Q).
N.B. Ordinary tap water may also be used. However, since water contains limescale by nature,
which may cause scaling in the long run, we recommend using a mixture of 50% tap water and
50% demineralised water. To use tap water only and avoid scale formation, we recommend the ad-
dition of the special natural scale removal agent KALSTOP FP 2003.

ENGLISH
Do not use only demineralised water but mix it as described above with tap water.
We recommend you use original Polti products only, as products of other brands may not be suitable
for use in Polti products and could cause unwelcome problems. Never use distilled water or scented
water.
2.B ) FILLING THE BOILER DURING USE
Thanks to the self-filling system, it is no longer necessary to stop and wait before refilling
the boiler once again with water.
When the water in the boiler is at the minimum level, the level sensor automatically draws off water
from the tank by means of a pump which fills the boiler. When the water in the self-filling tank runs out,
the “Out of water” indicator light (3) will light up and a buzzer will sound.
To continue working, just follow the indications in the paragraph “Preparing for use”
3) SWITCHING ON
Open the built-in socket door (9), insert the built-in plug (A6) of the flexible hose (A) pushing it until you
hear the click of the hooking mechanism (A7) (Fig. 6-6a).
Connect the power plug to a suitable electric socket.
N.B. The handle of the flexible hose (A2) is fitted with a safety button (A3) to prevent the acciden-
tal activation of steam delivery by children or people who do not know how it works. Should the ap-
pliance be left momentarily unguarded, move the safety button (A3) to the off position.To continue
steam delivery, move the switch back to its original position.
4) HOW TO USE
Lecoaspira Parquet can operate in the following modes:
SUCTION ONLY, STEAM ONLY, SUCTION + STEAM
Switch it on by pressing the main switch (1), the first level of the suction indicator lamps (5),will begin to
flash.
4.1) VACUUM ONLY MODE
By simply pressing the button (A4), on the handle (a2), you can begin to vacuum at the lowest
speed: the first level of the indicator light (5), will stop flashing and will remain on. Keeping the but-
ton (A4), pressed, you can select the suction power according to the type of surface you are clea-
ning.
When the suction power is increased, an indicator light (5), will come on. When the suction power
is decreased, the indicator light (5), will go off.
The suction function can be adjusted to 3 levels of strength, for cleaning:
- Level 1: curtains, sofas and cushions
- Level 2: rugs/carpets
- Level 3: floors or for suctioning liquids
To stop suction, just press the button (A4). Suction will stop.
N.B. When the appliance is switched on again, the suction level will be that set last time it was used.

ENGLISH
4.2) STEAM ONLY MODE
Press the boiler button - terracotta/parquet floor function (2). Wait for the pressure indicator lamp
(4) to come on. This indicates that the appliance is ready for use.
By pressing the steam button (A5) on the handle you can dispense steam. To stop the steam flow,
simply release the button (A5).
If you decide you no longer wish to use the steam, you can switch off the boiler by pressing the re-
lative button (2).
You can optimise the steam flow by means of the steam control knob (8) on the handle (Fig. 7).
To increase the flow, turn the regulator control clockwise. Turn the control anticlockwise to reduce
the flow.
- Strong steam: to remove scale, stains, grease and sanitise;
- Normal steam: for carpets, rugs, glass, floors;
- Gentle steam: to steam plants, clean delicate fabrics, wall coverings, sofas, etc.
N.B. When first operating it, there may be some drops of water mixed with the steam due to imper-
fect thermal stabilization. We therefore recommend that the first jet of steam be directed onto a
rag.
4.3) STEAM + SUCTION MODE
You can use the steam and suction features at the same time, by activating them both as descri-
bed in the preceding paragraphs (4.1 and 4.2).
5) CONNECTING THE ACCESSORIES
5.1) STEAM + SUCTION EXTENSION TUBES
To connect the two extension tubes together Band B1 it is important to pay attention to the direc-
tion indicated by the arrows. The appliance is in fact equipped with a parking system on which it is
possible, when you have finished using them, to replace the extension tube accessory B1. Incor-
rect assembly of the two parts, Band B1, will not allow this feature to be used.
Hook both extension tubes Band B1 to the connecting accessories (A1) of the flexible hose (A).
5.2) TELESCOPIC SUCTION TUBE
The length of the telescopic suction tube can be adjusted from a minimum of 60 cm to a maxi-
mum of 1 metre. To increase or decrease length, press the release button (IA) and extend or re-
duce length as desired.
Then connect the telescopic suction tube (I) to the connecting accessories (A1) of the flexible hose
(A).
Warning - the telescopic suction tube can only be used in suction mode to vacuum liquids and so-
lids. Absolutely do NOT use in steam mode.
5.3) USE OF THE ACCESSORIES STORAGE
The accessories storage (16) allows you to fasten the tube (B1) with or without the brush assem-
bled onto the appliance body.
To connect the tube (B1) to the appliance, slide the hook located on the tube into the accessories
storage on the appliance (Fig. 9).

5.4) CONNECTING THE ACCESSORIES
All the Vaporetto Lecoaspira accessories can be connected directly to the connecting accessories
(A1) or to the extension tubes (B) or (B1), previously assembled (see paragraph 5.1).
To connect the specific accessories for the suction and steam features (B-B1-C-D-E) proceed as
follows:
- Move the locknut (B2) of the accessory, if present, to the OPEN position (Fig. A1).
- Attach the desired accessory to the handle.
- Move the accessory locknut (B2) to the CLOSED position (Fig. A2).
- Check the strength of the connection.
- On the steam - suction extension tubes Band B1 there is an additional fastening button: pro-
ceed as described previously for the accessories and release the tubes by sliding the button as
far as the lock position (fig. A3).
- To connect the special accessories only for suction (E2-F-G-H-I-L-M-N) it is only necessary to at-
tach them without coupling them to the locknut.
To connect the steam lance (E1) with the 120° accessory (E), just screw it on. The same operation
can be carried out for the coloured brushes (E3), which can in turn be screwed onto the 120° ac-
cessory (E) and onto the steam lance (E1). The different colours allow you to always use the same
brush on the same surface.
Attention: In this case, the steam function must be disabled by pressing the safety button (A3), to
prevent the accidental release of steam.

A3) PARQUET AND TERRACOTTA
The parquet function is specifically for cleaning parquet and delicate floors. The function involves
the combined action of a delicate intermittent flow of steam with adequate suction force. Delicate
surfaces must always be cleaned using the special parquet cloth (O3) provided, fitted onto the uni-
versal brush(C) (Fig. D).
N.B. Please pay careful attention when cleaning wooden surfaces and treated terracotta flooring
with steam as prolonged use of steam may damage the wax, polish or colour of the surfaces to be
cleaned. We therefore recommend dispensing steam on these surfaces only for short periods of
time and suggest always using a cloth, avoiding direct steam being dispensed onto the surface. In
the case of old or particularly delicate floors, clean with cloth steamed previously, without dispen-
sing steam directly on the surface.
ACCESSORIES TO BE USED: extension tubes (B-B1) or telescopic suction tube (I) only in suc-
tion mode, parquet brush (L), universal brush (C) with insert, as per the following table:
* The parquet brush (L) is designed to clean delicate surfaces; it has bristles and wheels in a
special material to avoid damaging such surfaces.
**After fitting the rigid insert, you must cover the universal brush with the parquet cloth provided
(Fig. D).
