WARNING: When filling a hot boiler, we recommend adding small amounts of water to avoid the water evaporating instantly with the risk of burning.
This appliance has been designed to work with normal tap water.
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 or treated with water softener systems. To use tap water only and avoid scale formation, we recommend the addition of the special natural scale removal agent Kalstop FP2003.
Absolutely do not use distilled water, dryer condensate water, perfumed water, rain water, battery water, water from air conditioning systems and the like. Do not use chemical substances or detergents.
• Screw the cap (A) back in, making sure that it correctly tightened as far as it will go. If not, steam could escape from the opening. In this case turn off the appliance, unplug it from the mains and wait for it to cool before screwing the cap back on.
• Open the door of the one-piece socket ( E ); insert the moulded plug ( 3 ) until a click is heard (Fig.3). Make sure that it is firmly connected before proceeding any further. To release the sheath, simply press the release keys ( E1 ) and at the same time remove the moulded plug ( 3 ).
• Plug the power cable ( F ) into a suitable earthed outlet.
NOTE: when filling, make sure that the water does not overflow, to avoid wetting the surface on which your Vaporella is resting
IMPORTANT
Before leaving our factory all our products are rigorously tested. Your Vaporetto may contain some residual water in the boiler from the factory testing.
WARNING: Never leave the filling bottle or the funnel resting on the mouth of the boiler, with the product connected to the power supply, since this could cause burns.
PREPARATION FOR USE
• Unscrew the safety cap ( A ) (Fig.1) and fill the boiler with 1,6 litres of water, using the jug ( 10 ) and the funnel ( 9 ) provided for this purpose
(Fig.2).

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
• Press the ON/OFF switch (B) . The power indicator light will come on (C) .
• Wait for the pressure indicator lamp ( D ) to light up (about 10 minutes). Vaporetto is now ready for use.
• The steam sprayer ( 2 ) has a safety button
( 2A ) that prevents accidental activation of the steam delivery system by a child or other persons unaware of how the device works. To prevent the accidental output of steam press the button ( 2A ). To resume delivery press the button ( 2A ) in the opposite direction and operate the steam control lever ( 4 ).
The first jet of steam may contain some water droplets, due to imperfect thermic stabilisation inside the flexible hose. We would therefore advise that the first jet of steam is played onto an old cloth until a constant steam flow is obtained.
Note: The steam pressure indicator (D) may go on and off from time to time during use of
Vaporetto, this is quite normal
CONNECTION OF ACCESSORIES
• To connect the extension tubes ( 7 ) to the grip, the large brush ( 8 ) and the lance joint ( 13 ), simply join them to one another until the accessory locking button ( 11 ) clicks into place
(Fig. 6).
• To release the accessories simply hold the button ( 11 ) down and separate the components (Fig. 6).
• Before using the accessories, make sure that they are firmly in place.
SAFETY CAP / LACK OF WATER
This appliance is equipped with a safety cap which prevents the boiler being opened even accidentally, until minimum pressure is reached inside. This is indicated by a safety peg located on the cap which, when it comes out of the cap
(Fig. A), indicates that there is still pressure inside the appliance. When it goes back completely into the cap (Fig. B), it indicates that there is no longer pressure in the appliance.
Fig. A Fig. B
VERY IMPORTANT WARNING: If you press the steam request lever ( 4 ) when the appliance is still under pressure, even if it is off and not connected to the wiring system, you may still experience steam escaping from the flexible hose. So when you switch off the appliance, before storing it, it is neccessary to press the lever ( 4 ) till the steam flow is exhausted.
STEAM REGULATION FEATURE
VAPORETTOs are equipped with a steam regulator control ( M ) (Fig.5). You can increase the steam flow by turning the control in an anticlockwise 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, sanitising, grease.
• Normal steam: for carpets, rugs, glass, tiles etc.
• Delicate steam: for vaporising plants and cleaning delicate fabrics, upholstery, wallpaper etc.
ATTENTION - Risk of burns:
Never force the cap open and never operate on the safety peg if the appliance is still on and connected to the mains or if it is still hot
Every time you want to open the safety cap, proceed as follows:
• Switch off the machine at the on/off switch (B).
• Disconnect the power supply cable (F) from the mains.
• Operate the steam control lever ( 4 ) on the steam sprayer ( 2 ) until steam stops flowing completely.
• Wait at least 15 minutes to allow the boiler to cool.
• Check that the peg has lowered.
• Unscrew anti-clockwise the patented safety cap ( A ).
• Refill it by following the description of the
PREPARATION paragraph.
WARNING: Not complying with this procedure can expose you to the risk of burns.

PRECAUTIONS FOR DELICATE
SURFACES
• Before 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.
• If cleaning glass surfaces in particularly low temperatures preheat the glass using the hand gun from about 50 centimetres distance from the surface to be cleaned.
• For care of your plants vaporise at a minimum distance of 50 centimetres.
PRACTICAL ADVICE FOR THE
USE OF THE ACCESSORIES
STEAM GUN (2)
The handgun can be used directly, without connecting the brushes, on all spots requiring a stronger, closer treatment.
The more resistant the stain, the closer you should hold the gun, the steam pressure and temperature being higher at the source. You should however always wipe with a dry cloth (or a slightly abrasive sponge-if the spot is a difficult one to remove) after using the gun.
The steam gun is particularly efficient at:
• breaking down rug and carpet stains before they are treated with the large brush;
• cleaning stainless steel surfaces, panes, mirrors, enamelled surfaces;
• cleaning hard-to-reach corners, such as stairs, window sills, door posts;
• cleaning knobs of cookers, and water tap basis
• cleaning window shutters, heaters, car interiors;
• spraying plants (from a distance);
• removing odours and creases from clothes.
To reach higher points, the steam gun can be connected to one or both extension tubes.
FLOOR BRUSH (8)
• To clean floors, attach a dry, clean cloth to the brush and pass it moving from top to bottom without pressing. When one side is dirty, turn the cloth.
• Use the brush without cloth over dirty or scaled areas and over tile joints making lateral movements to lift the dirt.
• For vertical washable surfaces or upholstery and ceilings, cover the brush with a dry cloth and proceed as for the floor.
• On all types of synthetic or wool floor/wall carpets, as well as area rugs, Vaporetto ensures maximum hygiene, giving them back their original appearance and brightening up the colours.
Run the brush without cloth over the surface to make dirt rise to the surface, cover the brush with a cotton cloth locking it in the relevant lever hooks ( 8A ), then wipe the surface again to collect the dirt. Proceed rapidly and without pressing over the carpet, running the brush forward, backward and sideways without pausing too long at the same point. Treatment can be repeated as often as you like, with no danger for the surfaces. The drying is almost immediate. If the carpet is very dirty or saturated with cleaning products, do not to insist too much. Results will be evident only after a few uses of Vaporetto.
• To clean stubborn stains, before cleaning as indicated above, direct the steam directly onto the stain with the greatest possible angle
(never vertically to the surface to be treated) and position a cloth beyond the stain, in order to collect up the dirt that has been “blown” away by the steam pressure.

SMALL BRUSH (12)
To connect the small brush to the sheath or to the extension tubes, first attach the lance
(5) to the small brush (12) so that the two arrows found on the two components line up
(Fig.7).
After this, insert the lance joint (13), turning it until it is hooked into place with the accessory (Fig. 8).
The small brush is used whenever the big brush is too big or impractical to be used.
The small brush can be used for:
• furnishing fabrics (after testing on invisible parts-see WARNINGS above at start of “TIPS
FOR BETTER UNIT PERFORMANCE”. DO
NOT USE ON DRALON, VELVET OR OTHER
SIMILAR PILE OR DELICATE SURFACES.
• small window surfaces
• tiles and other small surfaces
To clean wood (doorposts, floors etc) do not point the steam directly but cover the big or small brush with a double-folded cotton cloth.
For furniture cleaning direct the steam jet onto a dry cotton cloth, and then clean with the cloth.
The warm moisture on the cloth traps the dust, spots and the static electricity so that the furniture stays clean longer as there is no detergent film for new dust to stick to..
The following two accessories can be applied to the small brush:
12A – Cloth for small brush: Fit the cloth over the small brush and clean the surfaces to be treated.
12B – Window-cleaning tool for small brush:
Apply the tool to the small brush (without the cloth ( 12A )) as shown in Figure 9. Window-cleaning is carried out in two stages:
• Deliver of steam onto the surface to be cleaned, by operating the steam delivery lever ( 4 ), to dissolve the dirt;
• Pass the window-cleaning tool over the surface to remove the dirt, without delivering any more steam.
LANCE (5)
To connect the lance (5) to the sheath or extension tubes, first attach it to the lance joint (13) .
The lance can be used to direct the flow of steam towards hidden corners that are difficult to reach with the steam sprayer. It is ideal for cleaning radiators, door and window jambs, sanitary fixtures and shutters. It is an extremely useful and indispensable accessory. The following accessories can be fitted to the lance:
6A – Curved tip for lance: suitable for reaching even more inaccessible points, thanks to its curved shape.
6B - Small round brush and 6C - Large round brush - 6D) Brush with brass bristles: suitable for removing caked dirt from very narrow surfaces such as cooker burners, roller shutters, joints between tiles, sanitary fixtures, etc.
Select the most appropriate brush, based on the size and material of the surface to be treated.
To connect accessories 6A-6B-6C or 6D to the lance ( 5 ), simply fit these accessories onto the tip of the lance exerting a slight pressure
(Fig.10).
STORING THE DEVICE
The device can be put away with the brush, tubes and sheath housed in holsters (I) and (L) as shown in fig. 11 and 12.The smaller accessories can be stored inside the accessories compartment (H) .
WARNING: Some HOT water may leak out of the accessories mixed with the steam, especially when the tank has just been filled, while carrying out the cleaning operations and as a consequence of movement of the device.
KALSTOP
Water by its nature contains magnesium, mineral salts and other deposits which in hard water areas can contribute to limescale build up in the tank. In very hard water areas we recommend the use of our Kalstop FP2003, a special natural-base decalcifier which inhibits and breaks down limescale. This is a preventive against scale build-up and protects the metal walls of the boiler. Kalstop FP2003 can be found in small appliance stores, Polti service centres and on the web site www.polti.com
