Dear Customer,
We wish to thank you for placing your trust in us and choosing a Polti product.
In choosing your Vaporetto Lecoaspira, you were thinking of the hygiene of your
home and of the health of your family, because Vaporetto Lecoaspira allows you to
clean most surfaces with the pure power that steam provides. It dissolves and col­lects dirt and traps dust-mites and allergens in the water.
Thanks to the unique EcoActive-Filter, after vacuuming you can pour away the dirty
water without the risk of spreading dust everywhere.
The air-filtering system is completed by the air outlet filter, which retains the fine par­ticles, so that the output air is thoroughly cleaned.
Thanks to the complete set of accessories, you will be able to tackle your cleaning
problems, solving them effortlessly and saving time.
The controls of the equipment are also available on the handle so that they are right
there within easy reach, without having to bend down.
With Vaporetto Lecoaspira you will be able to use steam and suction together for a
complete clean, suction alone so as to collect all the dust efficiently, or steam alone
for specific cleaning tasks.
We strongly recommend reading this instruction booklet carefully before using the
Vaporetto Lecoaspira.

What is EcoActive-Filter?

EcoActive-Filter is a revolutionary water filter patented by Polti. EcoActive-Filter
uses the natural purifying property of water to capture the dirt, thus avoiding un­pleasant contact with the dust and its harmful dispersion into the environment. It is
precisely the flow of water contained in the special filter and its bubbling that make
cleaning done with Vaporetto Lecoaspira so efficient.

This unit conforms with EC-directives 89/336 as amended by 93/68
(EMC) and 73/23 as amended by 93/68 (low voltage).

Polti S.p.A. reserves the right to change equipment or accessory specification wi­thout prior notice.

the generator tank after every 3 or 4
uses.In very hard water areas we recom­mend the use of our KALSTOP FP 2003, a
special natural-base decalcifier which in­hibits and breaks down limescale, making
it easy to remove just by swilling out the
tank with a little tapwater. This is a preven­tive against lime scale build-up and pro­tects the metal walls of the steam genera­tor tank. KALSTOP is available from Polti
dealers or by mail-order from your Polti
Service Centre.

• When Refilling the generator boiler, use
HOT rather than cold water, pour in gently
at first and keep your face away. Other­wise the still hot boiler walls can spit drops
of very hot water or steam spray.

• Make sure the patented safety cap is fully

and correctly screwed on, otherwise you
may experience steam escaping from
around the cap.

• Do not refill the boiler while it is still hot, al­low it to cool down for a few minutes be­fore refilling.

legs under the ironing board, the steam
can cause burns.

• Iron only on heat resistant surfaces and on
surfaces that allow the steam to escape
e.g. mesh ironing boards.

• For iron mat replacement use only original
spare parts.

• Check that the continuous steam request
button is switched off before connecting
the appliance to the mains.

This appliance can be used to suck up dust
or liquids equally easily.
However, if the water in the filter is very dirty
it should be replaced proceeding as de­scribed in the section “Emptying and clean­ing the water container”.
When the dirt sucked in reaches the maxi­mum permitted level in the water container
(20), suction is stopped automatically by the
safety float provided for this purpose (you
will notice that the engine speed has in­creased).
ATTENTION: switch off the appliance, and
only switch on again after restoring the water
level in the tank as described in the “empty­ing and cleaning the water container” para­graph.
IMMEDIATE RESTART WITHOUT
RESTORING THE WATER LEVEL CAN
DAMAGE THE AIR OUTLET FILTER.

Before treating leather, special fabrics (es­pecially dralon and velvet) or wooden sur­faces with steam, consult the manufacturer’s
instructions and always proceed only after
carrying out a test on a hidden part or a sam­ple. Allow the area treated with steam to dry
and then check whether any changes in
colour or deformations have occurred before
proceeding 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. syn­thetic materials, enamelled surfaces, etc.)
we strongly recommend using the steam at
its lowest output power. When cleaning
glazed surfaces, if the weather is particularly
cold pre-heat the glass working at distance
of about 50 cm away from the surface. To
take care of your plants, we recommend
spraying them from a distance of at least 50
cm.

It is advisable to use this brush to clean
large surfaces, tiled or marble covered
floors, parquet, carpets etc., using the fol­lowing inserts supplied with it.

• Bristled inserts (E2), for use only when
vacuuming.

LECOASPIRA 700 - 701

• Squeegee inserts (E3), to pick up liquids;
recommended for smooth surfaces.

• Carpeting inserts (E4), suitable for fitted
and loose carpets.

The multi-purpose brush can be connected
directly to the pistol, or to the hose by means
of the extension tubes (D).

ASSEMBLING INSERTS:

to change the inserts, slide out the insert
from its position on the brush and slid in the
replacement (Fig.C). When assembling the
two inserts with bristles (E2), position the
solid insert towards the BACK of the brush
and the grooved insert towards the front.

We suggest to use this accessory to clean
areas that are difficult to reach with the other
accessories. The 120° accessory may be
used for:

• treating stains on carpeting or loose car­pets, before going over them with the
brush;

• cleaning stainless steel, windows, mirrors,
layered coating and paintwork;

• cleaning corners such as stairs, windows
frames, door jambs, aluminium sections;

• cleaning the bases of taps;

• cleaning blinds, radiators, the interiors of
cars;

• atomising house plants from a distance.

The 120° accessory can also be fitted di­rectly onto the handle (A2) or it can be con­nected to the flexible tube by means of the
extension tubes (D).
It is possible to combine the 120° accessory
with the following other accessories:

• small coloured 120° brushes (L), suit-
able for removing caked dirt from very
small surfaces such as cooking rings,
shutters, between tiles, sanitary fittings
and so on.
The different colours mean that you can

always keep the same small brush for use
on the same type of surface.

• The steam lance (K1) allows you to reach
the most inaccessible places. Ideal for
cleaning radiators, door posts, sills, shut­ters and toilet bowls. To connect the lance

removing animal hair from the same sur­faces; a sponge cover (E5) may also be
attached to the nozzle.

Fit the attachments and slide them onto the
nozzle as shown in the diagram D.
To correctly use the steam-suction
squeegee proceed as follows:

• apply steam uniformly to the surface to be
cleaned to dissolve the soiling.

• Press the rubber squeegee against the
surface to be cleaned, moving it vertically
from top to bottom with the suction func­tion switched on.

Warning: in particularly cold weather, pre­heat the windows by applying steam from a
distance of about 50 cm from the surface to
be cleaned.

• Connect the iron to the monobloc plug
(B2) proceeding as shown in the “Opera­tion” paragraph.

Before ironing a garment, it is always advisable to
check the symbols and instructions on the label
provided by the garment manufacturer.
Check which kind of ironing is recommended, re-

ferring to the table below:

• For steam ironing, adjust the temperature
of the iron by positioning the temperature
control knob (Y) to COTTON-LINEN.

• Wait for a few minutes until the Iron heat­ing” indicator light (X1) goes out, to show
that the soleplate of the iron has reached
the required temperature.

• Press the steam request button (X) to en­able the steam to come out. The steam
flow will stop when the button is released.
When you first start to use the iron, a few
drops of water may come out of the sole­plate mixed with the steam due to imper­fect heat stabilisation. It is therefore advis­able to direct the first jet of steam onto a
rag.

• In order to obtain a continuous jet of steam
move the sliding switch (W1). The steam
will continue to come out even when the
steam request button (X) is released. To
stop the flow of steam push the sliding
switch backwards (W1).

• FOR DRY IRONING ONLY (NOT steam
ironing), press the main switch (1) and ad­just the temperature of the iron by turning
dial (Y) to the temperature required for the
fabric (as shown on the dial).

NOTE: using the iron, it is advisable to ad­just the steam jet at a medium range, or to
do some testing in order to find the jet which
is more suitable to the fabric to be ironed.
