1. PREPARATION FOR USE (diagram, page 3)
1.1 Insert the vacuum tube into the body of the appliance.
1.2 Lower the steam attachment door and insert the steam hose,
sliding it into position until you hear a click as it locks into place.
1.3 Lock the telescopic tube to the handle and adjust to the
desired height.
1.4 Connect the innovative universal brush to the telescopic
tube.
Tips: To facilitate the following operations, lock the brush to
the parking system.
1.5 Unscrew the safety cap and fill the boiler with 1l of water (if
completely empty). Carefully screw the safety cap back on,
checking that it is completely closed.
This operation must always be carried out when the boiler has
cooled and with the power cable disconnected from the mains.
1.6 Connect the power cable to an appropriate mains socket.
Completely unwind the power cable before plugging it into the
mains and before use, and always use the appliance with the
power cable completely unwound.
1.7 The appliance is ready for use. To vacuum, press the
ON/vacuum button on the control panel. To use the steam
function, switch on the boiler using the ON/steam button.
1.8 Depending on the surface to be cleaned (rugs/carpets,
wooden floors and delicate flooring, or hard floors), and the
function you wish to use (vacuum, steam, solid/liquid vacuum,
vacuum and steam together, with or without cloth), choose the
position (A-B-C) of the innovative universal brush, pressing the
relative pedal marked as per the label on the appliance, shown
below and detailed in the following chapters.
If you wish to only use suction, it is possible to remove the steam
hose by unlocking the automatic buttons from the vacuum tube
and the two connectors at the ends, and it is not necessary to
fill the boiler. Without the steam hose, it is impossible to activate
the steam, even with the boiler switched on.
We recommend using the special push/pull handle to move the
appliance more easily.
The push/pull handle can be purchased at all major household-
appliance shops or online at www.polti.com.
Do not use the push/pull handle to lift the appliance.
2. CLEANING HARD FLOORS
(tiles, ceramic surfaces, etc.)
2.1 For suction alone, set the innovative universal brush to
position C (bristle inserts) pressing the pedal (which ensures
that the holder with cloth is not attached to the brush).
Press the ON/vacuum button on the appliance and proceed
with cleaning.
It is possible to adjust the suction power by moving the cursor
on the handle.
2.2 For steam cleaning and suction, set the universal brush to
position B (rubber inserts) and ensure that the holder with cloth
is not attached to the brush. Ensure that points 1.5 and 1.6 have
been carried out. Switch on the boiler using the ON/steam
button. Wait for the steam indicator light (upper green) to turn
off before dispensing steam. Adjust the strength of the steam
by turning the adjustment knob (to switch off the boiler press the
ON/steam button again). For this type of surface we recommend
using the maximum steam level.
2.3 Deactivate the steam lock and continue with the steam
delivery and suction, pressing the steam trigger on the handle,
and the ON/vacuum button, respectively.
The two functions can be used simultaneously or individually.
For hard floors, we recommend steam cleaning followed by
drying with suction. The use of steam and suction allows the
most efficient sanitising of the surface, dissolving dirt,
eliminating grease, germs and mites, and above all allows
drying of the surfaces.
With the brush in position B (rubber inserts), it is possible to
vacuum small quantities of liquids and dry floors.
2.4 To clean using steam alone, it is possible to use the abrasive
action of the cloth supplied, attaching it to the special holder.
Position the holder on the floor and position the universal brush
above it in position A (no insert), apply slight pressure until it
clicks, locking into place. Deactivate the steam lock and
continue with the steam delivery and suction, pressing the
A A A C A A

Only use the cloth and special holder with the brush in position
A.
WARNING: if steam is escaping from the safety cap, switch the
appliance off and unplug it from the mains. Wait for one hour for
the appliance to cool before unscrewing the cap and screwing
it back on.
WARNING: When first operating steam, there may be some
drops of water mixed with the steam due to temperature
imbalances.
Direct the first jet of steam onto a rag.
WARNING: The level of dirt vacuumed should not exceed the
MAX indicator on the dirt collector; this indicator refers to both
solid and liquid dirt. Upon reaching the maximum level, see
Chapter 13.
For safety reasons, engage the steam lock on the handle
during vacuuming.
