CONGRATULATIONS

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 Intelligent model is equipped with advanced features of the most modern electronics. In fact, it is capable of operating fully 10 cleaning programmes, automatically setting the optimal suction power and pressure of the steam depending on the surface to be cleaned.

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 without prior notice.

PREPARING FOR USE

PREPARATION FOR SUCTION USE

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 , turn the handle (22) of the container backwards

(Fig. 4) in order to remove the “Eco-Active” filter assembly (23).

♦ Fill the container with about 1,2 L of plain tap water up to the MAX indicator (21).

NOTE

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. (For more detailed information please refer to the specific paragraph).

♦ Replace the filter assembly (23) in the dirt container (20) returning it to its original position.

♦ Reposition the dirt container (20) in the specific space and turn the handle until it returns to its starting position.

ATTENTION

Incorrectly inserting the collection container can cause a reduction in the suction capacity.

PREPARATION FOR STEAM USE

FILLING THE TANK

♦ Turn the cap of the tank outwards (7) (Fig. 1).

♦ Fill the self-filling tank with approx. 560 cc – at least to above the maximum level of the float (Fig.

2) – of normal water using the filler bottle (Q).

TYPE OF WATER TO USE

This appliance has been designed to work with normal tap water.

However, since water contains limestone by nature, which may cause scaling in the long run, we recommend using a 50/50 mixture of tap water and demineralised water or treated with softening systems. To use tap water and avoid scale formation, we recommend the addition of the special natural scale removal agent Kalstop FP2003.

ATTENTION

FILLING THE BOILER DURING USE

Thanks to the self-filling system, it is no longer necessary to stop and wait before refilling the boiler 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 lamp (8G) will light up and a buzzer will sound.

To continue working, just follow the indications in the paragraph "Filling the tank".

Pagina 45

LECOASPIRA INTELLIGENT 2.0

SWITCHING ON

♦ Open the monoblock socket door (9), insert the monobloc 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.

HOW TO USE: SUCTION

♦ If the appliance is switched off: Switch it on by pressing the main switch (1).

♦ When it is turned on, the appliance starts in manual mode MA.

ADJUSTMENT OF THE SUCTION LEVEL

By simply pressing the button (A4) you can select the suction power according to the type of surface you are cleaning.

Level 1

Level 2

Level 3

Level 4 curtains sofas and cushions carpets bare floors or to clean up liquids

♦ By increasing the suction power, the sections of the indicator (8C) increase.

♦ when reducing the suction power, the segments decrease.

♦ To stop the suction press the key (A4).

NOTE

When the appliance is switched on again, the suction level will be that set last time it was used.

IN CASE OF AUTOMATIC STOP

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 container is very dirty. In these cases, there is an increase in the motor rpm and after 10 seconds the appliance automatically pauses; the suction speed lights (8C) and the suction light (8E) flash. 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 restored 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.

LECOASPIRA INTELLIGENT 2.0

HOW TO USE: STEAM

♦ Turn on the boiler using the UP (4) key.

♦ The two indicators (8B) and (8F) start to flash.

♦ Select the steam pressure desired by pressing the UP (4) key again.

♦ In fact, every time the key is pressed, one of the steam pressure indicators goes on (8B) with a resulting increase in the pressure of the steam being supplied.

♦ The DOWN (5) key performs the reverse function; in other words, every time the DOWN (5) key is pressed there is a decrease in the steam pressure and the indicators go off (8B).

STEAM ADJUSTMENT

Strong steam 4 indicators lit to remove scale, stains, grease and sanitise

Normal steam

Gentle steam

2 or 3 indicators lit for carpets, rugs, glass, floors

1 indicator on to steam plants, clean delicate fabrics, wall coverings, sofas, etc.

♦ After setting the level desired, wait until the indicators (8B) and (8F) remain lit. This means that the pressure of the steam corresponds to the one actually selected and the appliance is ready to be used.

♦ Press the button (A5) on the handle to dispense steam over the surface to be cleaned.

♦ This turns the indicator light (8D) on.

♦ To stop the steam flow, simply release the button (A5).

NOTE

The handle of the flexible hose (A2) is fitted with a safety button (A3) to prevent the accidental activation of steam delivery by children or people who do not know how it works. Should the appliance 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.

NOTE

When first operating it, there may be some drops of water mixed with the steam due to imperfect thermal stabilization. We therefore recommend that the first jet of steam be directed onto a rag.

HOW TO USE: STEAM + SUCTION

You can use the steam and suction features at the same time, by activating them both as described in the preceding paragraphs.

LECOASPIRA INTELLIGENT 2.0

HOW TO USE: PROGRAMMED

♦ The programmed mode allows you to choose from 10 preset cleaning programmes.

♦ Every programme is developed to automatically dispense, in sequence, the amount of steam and suction power necessary to clean a specific surface.

♦ In programmes that envisage the use of the two functions, steam and suction, the suction function starts automatically after the steam function and lasts in proportion to that of the steam, enabling the surface treated to dry.

♦ The times that steam and suction are supplied have been carefully calibrated for various types of surfaces and have been developed on surfaces with standard dimensions.

♦ When cleaning very large areas, at the end of the cycle it is possible to immediately restart the programme by simply pressing the A5 key in order to complete the cleaning of the entire surface.

♦ Otherwise it is possible to finish the job in manual mode (see paragraph SET THE SUCTION LE-

VEL IN MANUAL MODE for the suction function or paragraph SET THE STEAM LEVEL IN MA-

NUAL MODE for the steam function).

NOTE

If using with a programme, remember that the suction speed and the quantity of steam are reset and therefore it is not possible to adjust them manually.

LECOASPIRA INTELLIGENT 2.0

NOTE

The boiler turns on automatically in the 1 to 9 programmes. Wait until the indicators (8B) and (8F) stay lit. This means that the steam pressure corresponds to the one necessary to use the pre-set programme. The appliance is now ready to be used.

It will only be necessary to press the steam button (A5), except for the P0 programme which is suction only and starts by pressing the suction button (A4).

Based on the programme selected, there will be an alternating sequence of steam and suction.

NOTE

In order to guarantee the maximum safety of the user, European Regulation 60335-2-54 envisages that the supply of steam must occur in a voluntary manner. Because of this, when the programmes described were developed, it was not possible to automate the steam supply function.

PROGRAMME P1 - Rugs, Carpets

This programme combines steam and suction to wash, vacuum and sanitise rugs and carpets.

♦ Set the P1 programme described in the paragraph “Pre-set programmes”.

♦ Holding the steam button (A5) down, steam is supplied

♦ When releasing the button (A5) or after a maximum of 150 seconds, the suction starts automatically to dry the treated surface.

♦ Suction stops automatically after a period of time in proportion to the time the steam was supplied.

♦ If you need to restart the programme to complete cleaning the entire surface, just press the button (A5) again.

PROGRAMME P2 - Parquet, Terracotta

This programme 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 universal brush(C) (Fig. D).

♦ Set Programme P2 as instructed in the paragraph “Preset programmes”.

♦ Holding the steam button (A5) down intermittent steam is supplied and at the same time suction starts.

♦ Release the button (A5) to stop the steam flow, while suction will continue for a few seconds more to dry the surface treated.

♦ If you need to restart the programme to complete cleaning the entire surface, just press the button (A5) again.

NOTE

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 dispensing steam directly on the surface.

NOTE

Before steaming surfaces, we recommend vacuuming up any hair or dust, using the vacuum only.

Pagina 51 all levels off =

SYNTHETICS and SILK

3 levels on = LINEN

2 levels on = COTTON

1 level on = WOOL

LECOASPIRA INTELLIGENT 2.0

NOTE

Because of the high pressure at which the product supplies steam, the maximum level of steam which can be selected for the ironing programme is 3 notches. This value is however sufficient to obtain the best results also on heavier fabrics.

♦ In order to optimise ironing times, we recommend starting to iron the more delicate fabrics first

(steam quantity 0 or 1) and then moving on to fabrics that require greater steam pressure. Otherwise, although the supply of steam is not prevented, it will be necessary to wait for the boiler to cool down to allow the appliance to reach the steam pressure selected.

Before ironing an item of clothing, always check the symbols on its label, for the instructions provided by the manufacturer.

Check, based on the following table, the most appropriate type of ironing:

Steam ironing allowed

For dry ironing, set temperature adjustment knob (S4) on •••

Steam ironing allowed

For dry ironing, set temperature adjustment knob (S4) on ••

Check the fabric's resistance to steam ironing or dry iron with temperature adjustment knob (S4) set on •

- do not iron

- steam ironing or treatment not allowed

STEAM IRONING

♦ For steam ironing, adjust the temperature of the iron by positioning the temperature adjustment knob (S4) to COTTON-LINEN.

♦ Wait a few minutes for the iron heating indicator light (S3) to go off, indicating that the iron has reached the established temperature.

♦ Press the steam request button (S2) to allow steam to escape.

Releasing the button, the flow stops. When first operating the iron, some drops of water may leak from the plate mixed with the steam due to imperfect thermal stabilization. We therefore recommend that the first jet of steam be directed onto a rag.

♦ To have a continuous jet of steam move the button forward (S1). The steam will continue to come out even when the button is released (S2). To stop the steam, move the continuous jet insert button backward (S1).

LECOASPIRA INTELLIGENT 2.0

DRY IRONING

♦ For dry ironing, before switching on the boiler, adjust the temperature of the iron by turning the knob (S4) to the temperature required according to the fabric, indicated on the knob itself.

ATTENTION

When ironing dry, pay attention not to press the steam button (S2), since water could leak from the plate.

PROGRAMME P0 - Turbo suction

This programme allows you to vacuum up dust and liquids or efficiently remove animal hair.

♦ Set Programme P0 as instructed in the paragraph “Preset programmes”.

♦ Holding the suction button down (A4) suction will be activated at the maximum pressure.

♦ It is possible to stop the programme manually by pressing the button (A4) again.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CLEANING

DELICATE SURFACES

♦ Before steam 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 colour or deformations have occurred.

♦ Please pay careful attention when cleaning wooden and treated terracotta flooring as prolonged use of steam may damage the wax, polish or colour 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.

♦ To take care of your plants, we recommend spraying them from a minimum distance of 50 cm.

ATTENTION

To clean glass surfaces in particularly cold seasons, preheat the windows starting from a distance of about 50 cm from the surface.

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES

BRASS BRUSHES (E4)

Applied to the 120° accessory (E), they combine an abrasive energetic action with the concentrated steam on resistant surfaces.

TURBO-BRUSH (M)

To clean carpets, use the turbo-brush (M): a turbine system increases effectiveness and efficiency when vacuuming fabric surfaces.

The use of the turbo-brush on carpets revives the fibres thanks to the brushing action of the roller, which opens the fibres, allowing for deep cleansing.

The mechanical rotary action of the turbo brush is ideal for removing animal hair from hard surfaces, rugs and carpets, even shag carpets.

The turbo brush can be used as a traditional brush on hard surfaces since it has a by-pass system which diverts the air flow directly to the suction pipe.

LECOASPIRA INTELLIGENT 2.0 - M0S10050 - 1T10:Layout 1 05/11/2013 9.46

Pagina 61

LECOASPIRA INTELLIGENT 2.0

Use: A cursor on the back of the turbo brush permits you to adapt it to any kind of surface: slide the cursor (M1) to the left for hard surfaces, and slide it to the right for carpets and fitted carpeting. The cursor adjusts the speed of the turbine system: when it is moved completely to the right, the turbine works at the maximum rotation speed, while when it is moved completely to the left there is no rotation and the brush operates as a normal floor brush.

The turbine can be easily accessed for cleaning thanks to the practical flap (Fig.E).

If using the turbo brush on shag carpets and/or when you want the brush roller to move faster, you may remove the rubber profile from the front of the brush (Fig.E)

MINI TURBO-BRUSH (N)

The mini turbo-brush is especially suitable for cleaning armchairs and sofas, the inside of cars, fabric-lined walls, etc.

It removes dust, dandruff, fabric residues with ease. Useful for the prevention of allergies, since it removes animal hairs by means of the mechanical action of the roller brushes.

The mini turbo-brush is also provided with a frame with hard rubber bristles to remove the more stubborn dirt.

To remove the frame, press on the two pins at the side of the brush and separate the frame from the brush (Fig. F) (do not use the frame on delicate surfaces).

To clean the mini turbo-brush, turn the locknut and remove the upper part of the mini turbo-brush as shown in Fig G. Clean the internal part of the brush and close it by repeating the steps for removal but in the opposite order.
