insert the monobloc plug (
1E
) until you hear it
click (Fig. 3). Check that it is tight before pro-
ceeding. To unhook the sheath, simply press
the unhooking buttons (
1F
) while simultaneou-
sly extracting the monobloc plug (
1E
) (Fig. 4).
4. Plug the power lead (
N
) into a suitable socket
with an earth connection.
USE
1a. Press the ON/OFF switch (
C
) (Fig. 5). The
power indicator light will come on (
F
).
2a. Wait for the pressure indicator lamp (
E
) to come
on (approx. 10 minutes). Now your Vaporetto is
ready for use.
3a. The steam gun (
1C
) has a safety switch (
1B
)
that prevents accidentally starting the steam
delivery by children or people unfamiliar with
how the appliance works. To prevent acciden-
tally dispensing steam press button (
1B
). To
start dispensing again, press button (
1B
) in the
opposite direction and turn the steam request
command lever (
1A
) (Fig. 6).
The first time it is used, drops of water may leak
out. This is due to an imperfect thermal stabili-
sation within the flex. We therefore recommend
directing the first jet of steam onto a cloth, until
a uniform jet is obtained.
NOTE:
the pressure light (
E
) turns on and off during
use. This indicates that the electric resistance is
operating to keep constant pressure and is therefo-
re quite normal.
ATTENTION:
if pressing the steam request lever
(
1A
) when the appliance is still pressurised, even if
off and disconnected from the mains, steam may in
any case be released from the flexible hose. As
such, before turning the appliance off and putting it
away, please first press the lever (
1A
) until the
steam flow ceases.
ADJUSTMENT STEAM
Vaporetto enables the flow of steam desired to be
optimised by turning the adjustment knob (
D
) (Fig.
8). To increase the flow turn the dial anti-clockwise.
Turning it in a clockwise direction reduces the flow.
Here are some tips for regulating it:
• Strong steam: to remove scaling, stains, grease
and to sanitise;
• Normal steam: for carpets, rugs, glass, floors;
• Gentle steam: to steam plants, clean delicate fa-
brics, wall coverings, sofas, etc.
USING THE ACCESSORIES
• To attach the extension tubes (
2
), floor brush (
3
)
and the accessories socket (
4
) to the handle,
simply insert one into the other and push until
you hear the click indicating that the accessory
block button is in place (
1D
) (Fig. 7).
• To release the accessory, just hold the button
down (
1D
) and separate the components (Fig. 7).
• Before using the accessories check that they
firmly connected.
ATTENTION:
to connect accessories (
5-6-7-8-9-
10-11-16
) it is first necessary to attach the acces-
sories socket (
4
). Once the accessories socket (
4
)
is attached, connect the accessory chosen, aligning
the arrows on them (Fig. 11), then turn it clockwise
(Fig. 12).
SAFETY CAP / LACK OF WATER
This appliance is equipped with a safety cap which
prevents the boiler being opened even accidentally,
until minimum pressure is reached inside.
Therefore, to be able to unscrew it, it is necessary
to perform specific operations which are described
below:
Every time you want to open the safety cap, pro-
ceed as follows:
• Switch off the appliance using the ON/OFF swit-
ch (
C
).
• Unplug from the mains electricity (
N
).
• Dispense steam until it is gone, using the steam
control lever (
1A
) on the steam gun (
1C
).
• Wait a few minutes to allow the boiler to cool.
• Unscrew the safety cap (
A
) anticlockwise.
• Refill it by following the description in Point 1 of
the PREPARATION paragraph. When filling the
tank hot, we recommend doing it with small
amounts of water in order to avoid instantaneous
evaporation of the water.
PRACTICAL ADVICE FOR THE USE
OF THE ACCESSORIES
PRECAUTIONS
• Before treating leather, special fabrics and wood
surfaces, consult the manufacturer’s instructions
and always carry out a test on a hidden part or on
a sample of the material. Allow the steamed part
to dry to make sure that no changes in colour or
deformations have occurred.
• Please pay careful attention when cleaning woo-
den surfaces (furniture, doors, etc.). and treated
