Read these instructions carefully before using the appliance.
Dear Customer,
We wish to thank you for placing your trust in us and choosing a Polti product.
In choosing your Vaporetto Lecoaspira, you were thinking of the hygiene of your home and of the health of your family, because Vaporetto Lecoaspira allows you to clean most surfaces with the pure power that steam provides. It dissolves and collects dirt and traps dust-mites and allergens in the water.
a
Thanks to the unique EcoActive-Filter, after vacuuming you can pour away the dirty water without the risk of spreading dust everywhere.
The air-filtering system is completed by the air outlet filter, which retains the fine particles, so that the output air is thoroughly cleaned.
Thanks to the complete set of accessories, you will be able to tackle your cleaning problems, solving them effortlessly and saving time.
The controls of the equipment are also available on the handle so that they are right there within easy reach, without having to bend down.
With Vaporetto Lecoaspira you will be able to use steam and suction together for a complete clean, suction alone so as to collect all the dust efficiently, or steam alone for specific cleaning tasks.
We strongly recommend reading this instruction booklet carefully before using the Vaporetto
Lecoaspira.
What is EcoActive-Filter?
EcoActive-Filter is a revolutionary water filter patented by Polti. EcoActive-Filter uses the natural purifying property of water to capture the dirt, thus avoiding unpleasant contact with the dust and its harmful dispersion into the environment. It is precisely the flow of water contained in the special filter and its bubbling that make cleaning done with Vaporetto Lecoaspira so efficient.
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.

TERRACOTTA / PARQUET FLOOR
FUNCTION
The parquet function is intended for cleaning parquet and other delicate floor surfaces. This function uses the combined action of a gentle, intermittent jet of steam with vacuuming power at an appropriate level. When cleaning delicate surfaces, always use it with the special cloth with velcro ( E6 ) provided applied to the multipurpose brush ( E ) (Fig. E).
• Press the main switch ( 1 ). The first level on the vacuum indicator lights ( 5 ) will begin to flash.
• Press the water boiler - terracotta/parquet button ( 2 ) once only.
• The pressure indicator light ( 4 ) will flash until the water boiler has reached working pressure, then stay on steadily. At this point, press the terracotta/parquet button
( 2 ) again to turn on the parquet function; the indicator light will come on ( 2A ).
• While holding down the steam button ( A5 ), steam will be released alternately and vacuuming will begin at intermediate speed
(you cannot change vacuum speed). If you release the button ( A5 ), the steam supply will be stopped, while vacuuming will continue for about 4 seconds more to dry the surface treated.
• Press the button ( 2 ) again to stop working.
• To avoid damaging delicate surfaces, we recommend always using the parquet function with the universal brush (E), together with the liquid suction insert (E3) or with the insert for fitted carpet (E4), wrapped in a parquet cloth with velcro
(E6).
• Always be very careful when cleaning wooden surfaces (furniture, doors, etc.) and treated terracotta floors, as prolonged use of steam could damage the wax, polish or colour of the surfaces.
P A T E N T E D S A F E T Y C A P
This appliance is equipped with a patented safety cap, which prevents opening of the generator tank as long as there is any pressure remaining inside the tank. This is an important and indispensable safety device and it is necessary to follow certain procedures when re-filling the tank.

PLIANCE FOR USE.
WARNING: When filling the water boiler when it is already hot, we strongly advise you to SLOWLY
AND CAREFULLY add just a little water at a time to avoid steam blowback from the aperture.
R E G U L A T I I O N O F T H E S T E A M F L O W
Vaporetto Lecoaspira will enable you to optimise the steam flow by means of the control knob ( 8 )
(Fig. 7). To obtain a higher flow rate turn the knob in a clockwise direction. When the knob is turned in an anti-clockwise direction, the flow rate decreases.
High flow rate of steam: to remove caked dirt, stains, grease and to sanitise;
Normal flow rate of steam: for wall-to-wall and loose carpeting, windows, floors;
Low flow rate of steam: for spraying plants, cleaning delicate fabrics, wallpaper.
L A C K O F W A T E R I I N T H E B O I I L E R

NB DO NOT USE BIOECOLOGICO OR
OTHER PRODUCTS IN THE STEAM GENE-
RATOR TANK, BUT ONLY IN THE DIRT CON-
TAINER (20).
Bioecologico is an anti-foaming and deodorising product based on natural substances which prevents foaming inside the water filter thus ensuring a correct working of the appliance. Diluted inside the dirt collection tank, Bioecologico also acts as an effective deodoriser while the appliance is running, and thanks to its composition which contains
Tea Tree and other natural substances, it prevents bad smells inside the dirt collection tank and releases a fresh clean fragrance in the environment.
Use:
• shake the bottle before use and remove the lid;

• hold the bottle upright and squeeze 5 ml into the dispenser. Stop squeezing and pour the contents of the dispenser into the dirt container of the appliance;
• add water according to the instructions of the appliance.
• use the recommended quantity of Bioecologico at any refill of the dirt collection tank.
• recommended quantity: 5 ml
Note: a possible change in colour of the liquid does not alter the functional character and the efficiency of the product.
Do not swallow. Keep out of the reach of children.
One of the great advantages of Vaporetto
Lecoaspira is precisely the fact that it is possible to put it away clean.
How to clean the dirt container:
As it is possible to suction up liquids, it is very easy to clean the dirt container in your Lecoaspira.
When you have finished cleaning, empty the dirt container as described and put it back in its housing in the machine.
Suction up about one and a half litres of clean water, turning on the suction for a few seconds. The whirlpool created inside the dirt container will rinse the walls and dislodge any dirt. Clean water cleans the inside of the tubes as it passes through them. Now empty the dirt container again and put the Vaporetto Lecoaspira away. CONTAINS: Eugenol, Citral, Cinnamal*
Contents: 100 ml
Bioecologico is available in pine or citrus scents.
Bioecologico is available to purchase from your local Polti retailer.

Before treating leather, special fabrics (especially dralon and velvet) or wooden surfaces with steam, consult the manufacturer’s instructions and always proceed only after carrying out a test on a hidden part or a sample. Allow the area treated with steam to dry and then check whether any changes in colour or deformations have occurred before proceeding further, ensuring exactly the same steam power and distance as in the test.
When cleaning wooden surfaces (furniture, doors, etc.) and brick floors always proceed with caution since excessive use of steam could damage the wax, the polish or the colour of the surface to be cleaned. It is therefore advisable to apply the steam to these surfaces only for short periods at a time or to clean them with a cloth that has been treated with steam.
On particularly delicate surfaces (e.g. synthetic materials, enamelled surfaces, etc.) we strongly recommend using the steam at its lowest output power. When cleaning glazed surfaces, if the weather is particularly cold pre-heat the glass working at distance of about 50 cm away from the surface. To take care of your plants, we recommend spraying them from a distance of at least 50 cm.
ATTENTION: make the arrow on the elbow tube
( 27 ) coincide with the reference on the filter body with microholed net ( 26 ) (Fig. 11b).
Put the dirt container ( 20 ) back in its place as described in the “preparation for use” paragraph.
Note: make sure you empty the dirt container ( 20 ) before putting your Vaporetto Lecoaspira away.

Vaporetto Lecoaspira can be quickly transformed into a highly effective ironing system to make ironing quick and easy. Simply connect the product to the iron accessory for Vaporetto
Lecoaspira (mod. PFEU0021). You may purchase the iron accessory at any Polti service centre or from top home appliance retailers.
• Connect the iron to the monobloc plug ( B2 ) proceeding as shown in the “Operation” paragraph.
Check the manufacturer’s label on the garment, and interpret the symbol on the label as follows:
Steam ironing allowed
For dry ironing, set thermostat on ••• its maximum travel on the “COTTON - LINEN” steam position by turning the knob ( Y ).
NB Set at its maximum, do NOT set against the picture of iron on the knob (Y) .
Most fabric types, other than delicates can be
STEAM-ironed at this temperature, please consult the garment label. If you want to DRY iron, set the knob ( Y ) to the required temperature for the fabric as, shown on the dial.
Nb fabric indications on dial are for DRY ironing, for STEAM ironing set at maximum travel as explained above.
• Wait for a few minutes until the Iron heating” indicator light ( X1 ) goes out, to show that the soleplate of the iron has reached the required temperature.
• Press the steam request button ( X ) on the iron to release bursts of steam from the holes on the soleplate. Release the button and the steam will stop. When you first start to use the iron, a few drops of water may come out of the sole-plate mixed with the steam due to imperfect heat stabilisation. It is therefore advisable to direct the first jet of steam onto a rag.
• In order to obtain a continuous jet of steam move the sliding switch ( W1 ). The steam will continue to come out even when the steam request button ( X ) is released. To stop the flow of steam push the sliding switch backwards ( W1 ).
RECOMMENDED TECHNIQUE for STEAM ironing with Polti iron is APPLY steam (button X ) on the upstroke, then release button ( X ) (so no steam) for the backstroke, so reclosing the fibres, preventing oversteaming and wetness.
DRY IRONING
• FOR DRY IRONING ONLY (NOT steam ironing), press the main switch ( 1 ) and adjust the temperature of the iron by turning dial ( Y ) to the temperature required for the fabric (as shown on the dial).

• For STEAM ironing, set the iron temperature to
NOTE: using the iron, it is advisable to adjust the steam jet at a medium range, or to do some testing in order to find the jet which is more suitable to the fabric to be ironed.
IMPORTANT NOTE
• Do not leave the iron unattended whilst connected to the mains.
• Iron only on heat resistant surfaces and on surfaces that allow the steam to escape e.g. mesh ironing boards.

Before carrying out any type of maintenance make sure that the power cable has been disconnected from the mains.
After using the brushes it is advisable to allow the bristles to cool in their natural position so as to avoid them getting deformed in any way.
Check the conditions of the gaskets located inside the monobloc plug ( B2 ) periodically.
If necessary, replace them with the appropriate spares. Also carry out the same check on the gaskets for connecting the extension tubes ( D ) and the handle ( A2 ).
To clean the outside of the appliance, just use a damp cloth. Do not use solvents or detergents as these might damage the plastic surface.
To clean the “ECOACTIVE-FILTER” holder and clean or change the sponge filter, follow the instructions in the paragraph headed “EMPTYING
AND CLEANING THE dirt container”.
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.
