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 and 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 use chemical substances or deter-
gents.
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 Unscrew the safety cap (1) and fill the boi-
ler with 0,75 l of water (if completely empty),
making sure it does not overflow, using the
special funnel (2). Carefully screw the safety
cap back on, checking that it is completely
closed.
1.3
Hook the shoulder strap for carrying the
device into the two eyelets
(3).
1.4 Open the door of the one-piece socket and
insert the moulded plug until a click is heard
(4). Make sure that it is firmly connected befo-
re proceeding any further. To release the
sheath, simply press the release keys and at
the same time remove the moulded plug (4).
The steam gun has a safety switch that pre-
vents the accidental starting of the steam de-
livery by children or people unfamiliar with
how the appliance works (5).
1.5 Connect the cable plug to an earthed
power supply of the correct voltage (6).
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.
1.6 Press the ON/OFF switch (7). The opera-
ting indicator light and the “steam ready” in-
dicator light will come on.
1.7 Wait for the “steam ready” indicator light
to go out (approx. 5 minutes). Vaporetto is
now ready for use.
2. CONNECTION OF ACCESSORIES

floor brush or the accessory adapter, simply
insert one until you hear the button click indi-
cating that the accessory is locked in place (8).
To release the accessory, just hold the button
down and separate the components (8).
Before using the accessories, make sure that
they are firmly in place.
2.2 To connect the steam lance and the small
brush to the handle or the extension hoses,
they must first be connected to the accessory
adapter. Then, lock them in place, turning in
the direction of the arrow printed on them
(10).
2.3 To connect the steam concentrator and
the small brushes to the handle or the exten-
sion hoses, they must first be connected to
the steam lance. Just line up these accesso-
ries with the point of the lance applying slight
pressure (11).
3. CLEANING FLOORS
3.1 Make sure that Chapter 1 has been fol-
lowed and connect the accessories as indica-
ted in Chapter 2.
3.2 Connect the extension tubes to the steam
hose and the floor brush to the extension tu-
bes.
3.3 Attach the supplied cloth to the floor bru-
sh, locking it in place with the special lever
hooks (9).
WARNING: When first operating steam, the-
re may be some drops of water mixed with
the steam due to temperature imbalances.
Direct the first jet of steam onto a rag.
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.
Before using the appliance on delicate surfa-
ces, ensure that the part in contact with the
surface is free from foreign bodies that
could cause scratches.
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
and screwing it back on.
