Switch off the appliance at the main switch
(
1
) and disconnect the supply cable from the
mains.
Lift the Dirt container (
20
) out of its compart-
ment by the container handle (
22
) (Fig.3).
Turn the handle and take out the “EcoActive-
Filter” water filter assembly (
23
), as in pic-
ture 4.
Empty the container tilting it towards the
small groove (Fig. 10).
Pull the elbow tube (
27
) away from the net
filter housing (
26
) until it is removed (Fig.
11a).
Take all the components apart and rinse
them in running water. If the filter sponge
has any tears, replace it. Filters etc are avail-
able as a kit, available by mail-order the Polti
Service Centre.
A cleaning brush (
20-A
) is supplied for easy
cleaning of the Dirt container (
20
); use it also
to clean the appliance’s hose connections
and the inside of tools.
NOTE:
Do not use the brush for cleaning the
outside of the appliance
If you wish to continue working, top up the
level of the water. Put the “EcoActiveFilter”
water filter assembly (
23
) back into the Dirt
container (
20
).
ATTENTION:
make the arrow on the elbow
tube (
27
) coincide with the mark on the net
filter housing (
26
) (Fig.11b). Put the Dirt con-
tainer (
20
) back in its place as described in
the “preparation for use” paragraph.
NOTE
: make sure you empty the Dirt con-
tainer (
20
) before putting your Vaporetto
Lecoaspira away. One of the great advan-
tages of Vaporetto Lecoaspira is precisely
the fact that it is possible to put it away
clean.
How to clean the bucket
:
As it is possible to suction up liquids, it is
very easy to clean the bucket in your
Lecoaspira.
When you have finished cleaning, empty the
bucket as described and put it back in its
housing in the machine.
Suction up about one and a half litres of
clean water, turning on the suction for a few
seconds. The whirlpool created inside the
bucket will rinse the walls and dislodge any
dirt. Clean water cleans the inside of the
tubes as it passes through them. Now empty
the bucket again and put the Vaporetto
Lecoaspira away.

DO NOT USE STEAM FUNCTION ON
DRAYLON, VELVET, LEATHER OR
OTHER SENSITIVE SURFACES.
If in doubt about the effect of steam on other
surfaces, consult the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions and always proceed only after carrying
out a test on a hidden part or a sample. Al-
low the area treated with steam to dry and
then check whether any changes in colour or
deformations have occurred before proceed-
ing further, ensuring exactly the same steam
power and distance as in the test.
When cleaning wooden surfaces (furniture,
doors, etc.) and brick floors always proceed
with caution since excessive use of steam
could damage the wax, the polish or the
colour of the surface to be cleaned. It is
therefore advisable to apply the steam to
these surfaces only for short periods at a
time or to clean them with a cloth that has
been treated with steam.
On particularly delicate surfaces (e.g. syn-
thetic materials, enamelled surfaces, etc.)
we strongly recommend using the steam at
its lowest output power.
When cleaning glazed surfaces, if the
