VAPORETTOs are equipped with a steam re-
gulation control (
I ) (Fig. 5). You can increase
the steam flow by turning the control in
clockwise direction. Turning it in an anti-
clockwise direction reduces the steam flow.
Here are some suggestions for the choice of
steam flow level:
• Strong steam: for encrusted dirt, stains,
grease and for sanitising.
• Normal steam: for carpets, rugs, glass, tiles
etc.
• Delicate steam: for vaporising plants and
cleaning delicate surfaces.
Please read separate warning about use on
draylon, velvet and other delicate fabrics, or
on sensitive wood surfaces.

The appliance is equipped with a safety cap,
which prevents opening of the generator tank
as long as there is any pressure remaining in-
side. This is an important and indispensable
safety device, and it is necessary to follow the
procedure here below when re-filling the ge-
nerator tank.
When you have used up all the water in the
tank, proceed as follows:
1c. Switch off the machine at the generator
on/off switch ( B )
2c. Press the steam request lever ( 3 ) on the
steam gun ( 2 ) or, if using the iron, the
steam request button ( R ) on the iron ( Q )
so as to fully exhaust the steam supply
from the tank.
3c. Switch OFF the accessory on/off switch
( C ) .
4c. Disconnect the power supply cable ( F )
from the mains.
5c. Unscrew anti-clockwise the patented sa-
fety cap ( A )
6c. Wait for a few minutes to allow the gene-
rator tank to cool down.
7c. When cool proceed to carefully refill the
tank as described in paragraph 1 of the
section “Preparation for Use”. If refilling
the generator when not completely coo-
led, pour only very small quantities of wa-
ter at each pouring into the tank, so as to
avoid spitting from the tank, and cover ex-
posed skin and face whilst filling.
