1. Unscrew the patented safety cap (
A
) and fill the generator with 1.2
litres of water, using the filler funnel (
11
) (Fig. 1).
Normal tapwater can be used. However, as hard water by its nature
contains limestone, which may cause a build-up of limescale in the
tank, in hard water areas we recommend the use of our natural-base
decalcifier
KALSTOP TP2000
.
2. Carefully screw on the safety cap to hand tight (Fig. 2).
3. Connect the power supply cable (
F
) into an earthed power supply
of the correct voltage.

1a. Press down the generator on/off switch (
B
) and the accessories
on/off switch (
C
) which will light up.
2a. Wait for the pressure warning light (
K
) (where available) to go out.
(Note: on some models where there is no separate pressure indica-
tor light, instead wait for the light inside the generator on/off switch
(
B
) to go out).
VAPORETTO is now ready for use.
3a. The steam gun (
2
) is equipped with a safety switch (
2A
) which pre-
vents the accidental start of the steam jet by children or people who
do not know how to operate the appliance. With the switch
2A
in the
“OFF” position, the lever controlling the steam jet is locked. Should
the hose be left unattended for a moment whilst the appliance is
connected to the mains, it is recommended to put the safety switch
in the “OFF” position.
To start the steam jet, move the
2A
switch backwards (ON) and acti-
vate the steam request lever (Fig. 3). The first burst of steam may
contain some water droplets, due to imperfect thermic stabilisation
inside the flexible hose. We would therefore advise that the first jet
of steam is played onto an old cloth until a constant pressure of
steam is obtained. Should the hose be submitted to an excessive
torsion during use flow, the No-Volt device will stop the steam flux. In
order to restore the output, just press the steam request lever.
Note:
The on/off switch (
B
) may go on and off from time to time during
use of VAPORETTO. This indicates the machine maintaining the
correct and constant pressure and is quite normal.

To connect the accessories tools to the hand gun proceed as follows
(Fig. 6)
1b. Move the connector button (
8
) on the accessory to the “open” posi-
tion.
2b. Attach the required tool to the hand gun.
3b. Move the connector button (
8
) back to the position ‘closed’
4b. Check that the connector button has engaged and the accessory is
fully connected.

All POLTI machines are equipped with the unique Polti 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 indis-
pensable safety device, and it is necessary to follow certain procedures
when re-filling the tank.
According to model, ‘water out’ is indicated by a warning light (
J
), or by an
audible alarm signal from the machine, or on more basic models by the
exhaustion of the steam output.
When you have used up all the water in the tank, follow the following pro-
cedures:
1c. Switch off the machine at the generator on/off switch (
B
)
2c. Press the steam request lever (
3
) on the hand gun (
2
) so as to fully
exhaust the steam supply from the tank.
3c. Disconnect the power supply cable (
F
) from the mains.
4c. Unscrew anti-clockwise the patented safety cap (
A
).
5c. Wait for a few minutes to allow the generator tank to cool down.
6c. When cool proceed to carefully refill the tank as described in para-
graph 1 of the section “Preparation for Use” in the instructions. If re-
filling the generator when not completely cooled, we recommend
that you carefully pour only very small quantities of water at each
pouring into the tank, so as to avoid spitting from the tank and cover
exposed skin whilst filling.

•
For cleaning leather, wood or delicate fabrics especially dralon, vel-
vet and other pile surfaces, consult the manufacturers instructions.
Clean only by using the hand gun at a safe distance together with a
soft cloth and always do a test on a non visible part of the item first
or on a sample. Allow the test area to dry completely before observ-
ing results and effects on surface or colour before proceeding to
clean further areas, ensuring that exactly the same distance and
technique are applied as for the test area. If in doubt, and on sensi-
tive surfaces like fabrics, leather and wood it is always better to ask
advice from your Steam Cleaner dealer.
•
For cleaning wood surfaces (furniture, doors etc.) take great care as
a too long application of the steam could alter the waxed appear-
ance, the shine or the colour of the surfaces cleaned. We therefore
recommend you apply the steam on such surfaces only for brief pe-
riods or to clean these surfaces using a cloth first held in the steam.
•
Please pay particular attention while cleaning brick floors: a too long
application of steam could damage wax, brightness or colour of
these surfaces.
•
Delicate surfaces (e.g. synthetic materials, lacquered surfaces etc.)
we recommend that the small brush should always be covered with
at least two cloths to reduce the intensity of the steam, and (on ma-
chines with steam variation control) with the steam set at low level.
