boiler with about 1.3 litres of water using the spe-
cial funnel (
14
) making sure that it does not over-
flow (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 nat-
ural-base decalcifier
KALSTOP TP 2003
.
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
) wich will light
up together with the pressure indicator light (
K
).
2a. Open the cover of the central connector block
(
D
) and insert the central connector (
4
) pressing
the connector button (
5
) and taking care that the
locking tab (
6
) is correctly positioned in the lock-
in aperture (
E
) on the block (Fig. 3).
3a. Wait for the pressure warning light (
K
) to go out.
Vaporetto is now ready for use.
4a. The steam gun (
2
) is equipped with a safety
switch (
2A
) which prevents 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 control-
ling the steam jet is locked. Should the hose be
left unattended for a moment whilst the appli-
ance is connected to the mains, it is recom-
mended to put the safety switch in the “OFF” po-
sition.
To start the steam jet, move the
2A
switch back-
wards (ON) and activate the steam request lever
(Fig. 4).
The first burst of steam may contain some wa-
ter droplets, due to imperfect thermic stabilisa-
tion 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.
Note:
The on/off switch (
B
) may go on and off from
time to time during use of VAPORETTO. This indi-
cates the machine maintaining the correct and con-
stant pressure and is quite normal.

Your VAPORETTO is equipped with a steam regulator
control (
I
) (Fig. 5). You can use this control to in-
crease the steam flow by turning in an anti-clockwise
direction. Turning the control in a clockwise direction
reduces the steam flow. Here are some suggestions
for the choice of steam flow level:
Strong steam:
For encrusted dirt, stains, sanitising,
grease
Normal steam:
For carpets, rugs, glass, tiles etc.
Delicate steam:
For vaporising plants and cleaning
delicate fabrics, upholstery, wallpaper etc. Please
read separate warning about use on draylon, velvet
and other delicate fabrics, or on sensitive wood sur-
faces.

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
indispensable safety device, and it is necessary to
follow certain procedures when re-filling the tank.
‘Water out’ is indicated by a warning light (
J
).
Whenever you have used up all the water in the tank,
follow the following procedures:
1c. Switch off the machine at the generator on/off
switch (
B
)
2c. Press the steam request lever (
3
) on the hand
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. 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 paragraph 1 of the section “Prepa-
ration for Use” in the instructions. If refilling the
generator when not completely cooled, we rec-
ommend 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.
