• 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 necessary to have it checked by an au-
thorized service center as the internal safety features may have been affected.
• Never direct the jet of steam towards small particles of debris without first protecting
the user’s eyes.
• We recommend that the appliance is disconnected from the mains whenever it is not
in use.

1. Unscrew the patented safety cap (
A
) and fill the generator with 2 litres of water, us-
ing the special funnel (
14
) (Fig. 1). Do not overfill.
Normal tapwater can be used. However, as hard water by its nature contains lime-
stone, 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 FP 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 volt-
age.

1a. Press down the generator on/off switch (
B
) and the accessories on/off switch (
C
)
which will light up.
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 cor-
rectly positioned in the lock-in aperture (
E
) on the block (Fig. 3).
3a. Wait for the pressure warning light (
K
) (where available) to go out. (Note: on some
models where there is no separate pressure indicator light, instead wait for the
light inside the generator on/off switch to go out) (c. 10 min.). VAPORETTO is now
ready for use.
4a. The steam gun (
2
) is equipped with a safety switch (
2A
) which prevents the acci-
dental 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 ap-
pliance 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 activate the steam
request lever (Fig. 4).
The first burst of steam may contain some water droplets, due to imperfect thermic sta-
bilisation 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 indicates the machine maintaining the correct and constant pressure
and is quite normal.

Some VAPORETTO models come equipped with a steam regulator control (
I
) (Fig. 5). You
can use this control to increase the steam flow by turning in a clockwise direction. Turn-
ing the control in an anti-clockwise direction reduces the steam flow. Here are some sug-
gestions for the choice of steam flow level:
(4-5) -
Strong steam:
For encrusted dirt, stains, sanitising, grease
(2-3) -
Normal steam:
For carpets, rugs, glass, tiles etc.
(1) -
Delicate steam:
For vaporising plants and cleaning delicate fabrics, upholstery, wall-
paper etc. Please read separate warning about use on draylon, velvet and other del-
icate fabrics, or on sensitive wood surfaces.

All POLTI machines are equipped with the unique Polti patented safety cap, which pre-
vents 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.
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 out-
put.
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 “Preparation for Use” in the instructions. If refilling the generator when not
completely cooled, we recommend that you carefully pour only very small quanti-
ties of water at each pouring into the tank, so as to avoid spitting from the tank and
cover exposed skin whilst filling.

1d. Connect the connector block at the end of the iron hose (
4
) to the generator as
shown in point 2a of the section “Instruction for Use”.
2d. For all steam ironing, position the temperature indicator dial (
F
) to the position “CO-
TONE - LINO”. For dry ironing set the temperature control dial according to the fab-
ric to be ironed as indicated on the dial.
3d. Wait for a few minutes for the indicator (
R
) to go out indicating that the sole plate of
the iron has reached the correct temperature.
4d. Press the steam request button on the iron (
R
) to allow the steam to exit. Releasing
this button stops the steam flow. At first you may find that the steam contains some
water globules and we recommend that the first jet of steam is therefore played
onto an old cloth, and is not directed onto the garment to be ironed.
For dry ironing do not press the steam request button (
R
).
5d. In order to have a continuous steam jet, move the button (
U
) forwards. Steam will
keep on coming out, even if you release the button. To interrupt the outlet, move
the button (
U
) backwards.
6d. The iron can also be used in a vertical position e.g. for removing creases from cur-
tains, clothing etc.
IMPORTANT
• Do not leave the iron unattended whilst connected to the mains.
• Iron only on heat resistant surfaces and on surfaces that allow the steam to escape
e.g. mesh ironing boards.
• ATTENTION: if you iron sitting down, do not place your legs under the ironing board,
the steam can cause burns.

• For cleaning leather, wood or delicate fabrics especially dralon, velvet 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 observing
results and effects on surface or colour before proceeding to clean further areas, en-
Never place your hands
inside the jet of steam.
Danger of burns!
Do not direct the steam
jet at people or animals.
Danger of burns!
