• Before using your VAPORETTO carefully read

these usage instructions.

• Before connecting VAPORETTO to the mains

make sure that the current is the same as that in-
dicated for the machine and that the plug is an
earthed plug.

• Do not put any detergent or chemical substance

in the tank.
Water by its nature contains magnesium, mineral
salts and other deposits which in hard water ar-
eas can contribute to limescale build up in the
tank. To avoid these problems, it is necessary to
swill out with tapwater and empty the generator
tank after every 3 or 4 uses.In very hard water ar-
eas we recommend the use of our 

KALSTOP TP

2003

, a special natural-base decalcifier which in-

hibits and breaks down limescale, making it easy
to remove just by swilling out the tank with a little
tapwater. This is a preventive against scale build-
up and protects the metal walls of the steam gen-
erator tank. 

KALSTOP

is available from Polti

dealers or by mail-order from your Polti Service
Centre.

• Do not refill the tank while it is still hot, allow it to

cool down for a few minutes before refilling.

• During filling and refilling we recommend you dis-

connect the machine from the mains supply.

• Never empty VAPORETTO when the water inside

the generator tank is still hot.

• Do not place the appliance or any of the tools

whilst connected in water or in any other liquids.

• Do not touch the appliance with wet hands and

feet whilst the appliance is connected to the
mains.

• Never leave the appliance unattended whilst it is

connected to the mains. 

• Do not allow VAPORETTO to be used by children

or by people who are not familiar with the usage
instructions.

• We recommend that the appliance is discon-

nected from the mains whenever it is not in use.

• When Refilling the generator tank, use HOT rather

than cold water, pour in gently at first and keep
your face away. Otherwise the still hot tank walls
can spit drops of very hot water or steam spray.

• When cleaning ovens, refrigerators and other

electrical appliances, ALWAYS clean with the elec-
tricity supply switched off to the appliance you
are cleaning, and make sure you keep the steam
well away from the parts which will be live when
the appliance is re-connected.

• Do not leave the appliance exposed to wind or rain.
• Do not lay the hot appliance on surfaces sensitive

to heat.

• Do not use electric extension leads that are not

authorized by the manufacturer, as they may
cause damage or fire.

• In case of breakdown or malfunction switch off

the appliance and never attempt to disassemble
it, but refer to an authorized service center.

• In case of accidental fall of the appliance it is nec-

essary to have it checked by an authorized ser-
vice center as the internal safety features may
have been affected.

• Never direct the jet of steam towards small parti-

cles of debris without first protecting the user’s
eyes.
