sed of with domestic waste, but sent to an official collection
facility. This appliance complies with EU Directive 2011/65/EU

tes that, at the end of its useful lifespan, the product

Therefore, at the end of its life, the user must hando-
ver the appliance to an appropriate collection centre for elec-
tric and electronic waste. Proper separate waste collection to
facilitate the subsequent recycling, treatment and environ-
mentally compatible disposal of the appliance helps to pre-

the administrative sanctions envisaged by current legislation.
Polti S.p.A. reserves the right to change equipment or accessory
specification without prior notice.
Before leaving our factory all our products are rigorously tested.
This is the reason why your VAPORETTO may contain some
residual water in the boiler.
WHICH WATER TO USE IN THE BOILER
This appliance has been designed to function with normal
medium tap water between 8°F and 20°F. If the tap water
contains a lot of limescale use a mix composed of 50% tap
water and 50% demineralised water which is widely available
to purchase. Do not use pure demineralised water.
Warning: check the hardness of the water at the technical office
at your local council or the local water supplier.
If you only use tap water, you can reduce the formation of
limescale by using the special Kalstop limescale product,
distributed by Polti, and available for sale at all major domestic-
appliance stores and online at www.polti.com.
Never use distilled water, rain water or water containing
additives (e.g. starch, perfumes), or water produced by other
domestic appliances, by water softeners or filter jugs.
Do not use chemical substances or detergents.

CONNECTION OF ACCESSORIES
The Vaporetto accessories can be connected directly to the
handle of the steam hose or extension tubes as follows:
• Move the locking button on the accessory to the OPEN
position (8).
• Attach the required accessory to the hand gun or to the
extension tube.
• Move the locking button back to the position CLOSED. (8).
• Check that the locking button has engaged and the accessory
is fully connected.
3.
STEAM ADJUSTMENT
You can optimise the steam flow by means of the steam
adjustment knob. To increase the flow, turn the knob clockwise.
Turning anti-clockwise reduces the flow. Here are some tips for
regulating it:
• Maximum level: to remove encrustation, stains, grease and
to sanitise;
• Medium level: for carpets, rugs, glass and floors;
• Minimum level: to steam plants, clean delicate fabrics, wall
coverings, sofas, etc.
WARNING: When first operating steam, there may be some
drops of water mixed with the steam due to temperature
imbalances.
Direct the first jet of steam onto a rag.
WARNING: Never leave the filling bottle or the funnel resting
on the mouth of the boiler, with the product connected to the
power supply, since this could cause burns.
WARNING: if steam is escaping from the safety cap, switch the
appliance off and unplug it from the mains. Wait for one hour for
the appliance to cool before unscrewing the cap and screwing
it back on.
