Read these instructions carefully before using the appliance.
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 EcoSteamVac. 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.

LECOASPIRA INTELLIGENT 2.0
Lecoaspira Intelligent 2.0 s a multi-function appliance which, depending on the need and type of cleaning 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 water 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. 2). Remove the container (20) dfrom its housing , turn the handle (22) of the container backwards (fig. 3) 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).
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.
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 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.
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 limestone by nature, which
151
LECOASPIRA INTELLIGENT vers. 2012_mod7:Layout 1 11/04/2012 8.49
Pagina 152
LECOASPIRA INTELLIGENT 2.0
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 addition of the special natural scale removal agent KALSTOP FP 2003.
Do not use only demineralized 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 difficulties. 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 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 (8G) 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).
Connect the power plug (13) to a suitable electric socket.
Switch on the appliance by pressing the power switch (1) (fig.7). A buzzer indicates that the appliance has been turned on correctly, and it starts automatically in manual mode MA.
N.B. 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.
4) HOW TO USE
Lecoaspira Intelligent 2.0 can be used two different ways:
MANUAL OR PROGRAMMED.
MANUAL MODE: envisages the possibility of manually adjusting the quantity of water dispensed and the suction power based on need and the surfaces to be cleaned.
PROGRAMMED MODE: allows you to choose from 10 pre-set 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
152
LECOASPIRA INTELLIGENT vers. 2012_mod7:Layout 1 11/04/2012 8.49
Pagina 153
LECOASPIRA INTELLIGENT 2.0
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 A5key 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).
N.B. 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.
5) HOW TO SET THE APPLIANCE IN MANUAL MODE
If the appliance is off: turn the appliance on by pressing the main switch (1). When it is turned on, the appliance starts in manual mode MA.
If the appliance is set in programmed mode: when pressing the SET key (3), the indicator (8A) starts to flash. Using the UP (4) and DOWN (5) keys it is possible to selected the programme MA.
Press OK to confirm the selection.
5.1) SET THE SUCTION LEVEL IN MANUAL MODE
By just pressing the suction button (A4) it is possible to start vacuuming. By holding the button (A4) down it is possible to select the suction speed desired based on how dirty the surface is. By increasing the suction power, the sections of the indicator (8C) increase; when reducing the suction power, the segments decrease.
The suction function can be adjusted to 4 levels of strength, for cleaning:
- level 1: curtains
- level 2: sofas and cushions
- level 3: rugs/carpets
- level 4: floors or for suctioning liquids
To stop the suction just press button (A4) once. Suction will stop.
N.B. When the appliance is turned back on, the suction level is the one that was set the last time it was used.
5.2) SET THE STEAM LEVEL IN MANUAL MODE
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).
It is possible to regulate up to 4 levels of steam:
- Strong steam: (4 indicators lit) to remove scale, stains, grease and to sanitise;
- Normal steam: (2 or 3 indicators lit) for carpets, rugs, glass, parquet and floors;
- Gentle steam: (1 indicator on) to steam plants, clean delicate fabrics, wall coverings and sofas.
After setting the level desired, wait until the indicators (8B) and (8F) remain lit. This means that the
153
LECOASPIRA INTELLIGENT vers. 2012_mod7:Layout 1 11/04/2012 8.49
Pagina 154
LECOASPIRA INTELLIGENT 2.0
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 and the indicator (8D) lights up.
To stop the steam flow, simply release the button (A5).
N.B. When first operating it, there may be some drops of water mixed with the steam due to imperfect thermal stabilisation. We therefore recommend that the first jet of steam be directed onto a rag.

To select a pre-set programme, press the SET key (3); when the indicator (8A) starts to flash, it is possible to select the desired programme with the UP (4) and DOWN (5) keys. Press the OK (2) key to confirm the selection.
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.
N.B. 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.
7) CONNECTING THE ACCESSORIES
7.1) STEAM + SUCTION EXTENSION TUBES
To connect the two extension tubes together (B) and (B1) it is important to pay attention to the direction 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). Incorrect assembly of the two parts, (B) and (B1), will not allow this feature to be used.

3 levels on = LINEN
2 levels on = COTTON
1 level on = WOOL
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 thermostat on •••
Steam ironing allowed
For dry ironing, set thermostat on ••
Check the fabric's resistance to steam ironing or dry iron with thermostat 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).

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.

C - OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
M) TURBO BRUSH
The turbo brush uses a turbine system which operates on suction power only, without electricity.
The turbo brush increases the effectiveness and efficiency of suction on soft furnishings such as carpets and fitted carpeting since it combines suction with a mechanical action to remove dust and dirt (organic and inorganic) and fibres (hair, etc.). By using the turbo-brush on carpets you can refresh the fibres thanks to the action of the roller, which separates them so that the cleaner can reach right down into the 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.
The mechanical rotary action of the turbo brush is ideal for removing animal hair from hard surfaces, rugs and carpets, even shag carpets.
N) MINI TURBO BRUSH
The mini turbo brush is particularly recommended for cleaning sofas and armchairs, car upholstery, fabric-covered walls, etc.
It easily removes dust, dandruff and textile residues. It is useful for preventing allergies, as the mechanical action of the roller with bristles vacuums up animal hair.
The mini turbo brush also has a hard rubber bristle attachment, useful on more difficult dirt.
STEAM DISINFECTOR (mod. PAEU0189)
The Steam Disinfector is the sanitiser for household surfaces that can connect up to your Vaporetto Lecoaspira to deliver steam at high temperatures (up to 180°C) together with the sanitising solution HPMed. The system allows for the elimination of the bacterial, fungous and viral load on the surfaces and fabrics to which it is applied in just a few seconds. This helps prevent the risk of possible infections. When surfaces and fabrics are sanitised using the Steam Disinfector, the risk of contagion deriving from surface contamination is drastically reduced.
The Steam Disinfector is a Polti exclusive and is only available from the best electrical appliance stores.

• Unhook the water container handle (22) and remove the container (20) as described in the chapter “PREPARING FOR USE”.
• Lift the HEPA filter release lever and remove the filter (18) from its housing (fig.12).
• Rinse the filter under cold running water.
After washing it, shake it gently to eliminate any reside of dirt and excess water.
NOTE: allow the filter to dry naturally, away from direct sources of light and heat. It is advisable to wait 24 hours before replacing the filter in the appliance.
• Replace the filter with a new one if it is torn.
• The filter should be cleaned every 4 months.
• To correctly position the HEPA filter (17) make sure that it is lodged in its housings (19) and is then blocked by the lever (18) (Fig.14).
ATTENTION:
• Do not clean the filter with the brush as it can be damaged, thereby reducing its filtering capacity.
• Do not use detergents, do not rub the filter, and do not wash it in a dishwasher.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Before any kind of maintenance, make sure that the power cable is not plugged in to the mains.
After using the brushes, we recommend letting the bristles cool down in their natural position, in order to avoid any deformation.
Regularly check the status of the seals located in the monoblock socket (A6). If necessary, replace with the appropriate spare part (P).
Perform the same check on the connection seals of the extension tubes (B and B1) and the handle (A2).
To clean the outside, simply use a moist cloth. Do not use solvents or detergents as these could damage the plastic surfaces.
To clean the “Eco-Active” water filter cage and to clean or replace the sponge filter, proceed as described in the paragraph “EMPTYING AND CLEANING THE DIRT CONTAINER.”
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 surfaces (furniture, doors, etc.). 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 only steaming these surfaces for short periods of time, or cleaning using a previously steamed cloth.
On particularly delicate surfaces (i.e. synthetic materials, lacquered surfaces, etc.) we recommend using minimum steam.
To clean glass surfaces in particularly cold seasons, preheat the windows starting from a distance of about 50 cm from the surface. To take care of your plants, we recommend spraying them from a minimum distance of 50 cm.
