WHICH WATER TO USE IN THE

BOILER

This appliance has been designed to function
with normal medium tap water between 8°f
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 add chemical, natural, detergent, or li-
mescale removing substances, etc.

USE

Cimex Eradicator is a steam generator equip-
ped  with  Steam  Disinfector  (Polti  worldwide
patent),  a  gun  capable  of  dispensing  steam
heated to 180°C. Cimex Eradicator is a natural
and effective method for eliminating the pro-
blem of bed bugs. Laboratory tests and field
trials  have  shown  that  Cimex  Eradicator
treatment with dry saturated steam heated to
180° C is able to eliminate 100% of eggs and
larvae  and  more  than  90%  of  adult  insects

with the first pass

The  steam  dispenser,  Steam  Disinfector,  is
equipped  with  a  controlled-expansion  heat
exchange  device,  Polti  world  patent,  which
further heats the steam generated by the boi-
ler  to  the  temperatures  reported  above.  In
this way, eggs, larvae and insects die in a few
seconds from heat shock.
To eliminate 100% of adult insects and get ad-
vice  on  how  to  find  and  remove  the  bugs,
please  follow  the  instructions  listed  in  the
Quick Guide to Disinfestation and on the DVD
that you will find in the package.
The HPMED sanitiser, mixed with the steam at
the  time  it  is  dispensed,  removes  the  bad
smells generated by the bed bugs. HPMED is
a  water-alcohol  solution  that  can  be  dispen-
sed when people are present.

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 Attach the pivoting wheels to the base of
the appliance applying pressure (1).

1.3

Unscrew the safety cap (2) and fill the boi-

ler with 2l of water (3)(if completely empty).
Carefully  screw  the  safety  cap  back  on  (2),
checking that it is fully tightened.
This  operation  must  always  be  carried  out
when  the  boiler  has  cooled  and  with  the
power cable disconnected from the mains.
1.4  Open  the  door  of  the  built-in  socket  and
insert  the  Steam  Disinfector  built-in  plug  of
the steam hose (4), pressing the specific but-
ton  and  making  sure  that  the  hooking  pin  is
inserted perfectly in the specific locking hole
on the socket.
1.5 Unscrew the cap of the HPMed detergent
(5).
1.6 Insert the stopper into the bottle (6) until it
rests on the base of the bottle, ensuring that it
stays as straight as possible (7).
1.7  Screw  the  bottle  into  the  dispensing  gun
fitting taking care to ensure that the stopper
enters  the  hole  inside  the  fitting  perfectly,
without bending (8).

1.8  Connect  the  cable  plug  to  an  earthed
power supply of the correct voltage(9).
Completely  unwind  the  power  cable  before
plugging it into the mains and before use, and
always use the appliance with the power ca-
ble completely unwound.
1.9 Press the boiler switch ( ) and the accesso-
ries  switch  (

) (10), which will light up to-

gether  with  the  “steam  ready”  indicator  light
( ) and the indicator light on the Steam Disin-
fector.
1.10 Wait for the “steam ready” indicator light
( ) and the steam dispenser light to turn off.
The  indicator  light  (16)  signals  that  there  is
pressure  in  the  boiler.  The  appliance  is  ready
for use.

WARNING: Do not screw the bottle to the

gun without the stopper. If no consumption

of HPMED is seen during use of the product,

this means that the stopper has not been in-

serted correctly, or has folded within the

bottle. Unscrew the bottle and repeat the in-

sertion procedure, taking care to position it

correctly.

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
