and 20°f. If the tap water contains a lot of li-
mescale use a mix composed of 50% tap wa-
ter and 50% demineralised water which is wi-
dely available to purchase. 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 limescale product, distributed by Pol-
ti, 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 ap-
pliances, by water softeners or filter jugs.
Do not use chemical substances or deter-
gents.

1. PREPARING FOR USE

1.1 Remove the appliance from the packaging,
checking that the product is whole and that
all the parts are there.
1.2 Unscrew the safety cap (1) and fill the boi-
ler with 1.6 l of water (if completely empty),
making sure it does not overflow, using the
special funnel (2). Carefully screw the safety
cap back on, checking that it is completely
closed.
1.3 Open the door of the one-piece socket and
insert the moulded plug until a click is heard
(3). Make sure that it is firmly connected befo-
re proceeding any further. To release the
sheath, simply press the release keys and at
the same time remove the moulded plug.
The steam gun has a safety switch that pre-
vents the accidental starting of the steam de-
livery by children or people unfamiliar with
how the appliance works . To prevent acci-
dental steam delivery push the button to the
OFF position (4). To continue steam deli-
very, push the button to the ON position (4).
1.4 Unwind the power cable completely and
connect it to an appropriate socket (5) that is
earthed. Use the appliance with the power ca-
ble completely unwound.
1.5 Press the ON/OFF switch (6). The power
indicator light will come on (red).
1.6 Wait for the "steam ready" indicator light
(green) to come on (approx. 8 minu-
tes).Vaporetto is now ready for use.
The "steam ready" (green) indicator light
comes on and goes off during use. This
means that the electrical resistance is
working to maintain constant pressure: it is a
normal phenomenon and you can continue
with the cleaning operations.
WARNING: if steam is escaping from the sa-
fety cap, switch the appliance off and unplug
it from the mains. Wait for one two for the ap-
pliance to cool before unscrewing the cap
and screwing it back on.
WARNING: When first operating steam, the-
re may be some drops of water mixed with
the steam due to temperature imbalances.
Direct the first steam jet onto a rag for a few
seconds.

2. CONNECTION OF ACCESSORIES

2.1 To attach the extension hose to the flexible
hose and the floor brush, simply insert until you
hear the button click indicating that the acces-
sory is locked in place (8). To release the ac-
cessories simply hold the button down and
separate the components (8). Before using
the accessories, make sure that they are firmly
in place.
2.2 To connect the small brush, the steam
concentrator, the brushes to the flexible hose
or the extension hoses insert the accessories
and then turn them until they are locked in
place (9)(10).
3. STEAM ADJUSTMENT
You can optimise the steam flow by means of
the steam adjustment knob (7). You can in-
crease 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, sa-
nitising, grease.
• Normal steam: for carpets, rugs, glass, tiles
etc.
• Delicate steam: for vaporising plants and
cleaning delicate fabrics, upholstery, wallpa-
per, parquet, laminate, etc.
WARNING: In case of excessive humidity,
reduce the quantity of steam.
