Read these instructions carefully before using the appliance.

Dear Customer,
Thank you for purchasing our product.

By choosing Vaporetto Lecoaspira, you will have a complete appliance for cleaning your home,
capable of vacuuming solids and liquids, sanitising with steam, drying and eliminating dust mites
and allergens. You can decide, depending on your needs, whether to use the steam and
suction together for complete cleaning, just the suction to effectively collect dust or just the
steam for specific cleaning tasks.

The suction feature:
The heart of the filtration system is represented by the exclusive “Eco-Active” water filter,
patented by Polti. The “Eco-Active” water filter uses the natural purifying force of water to trap
dirt, preventing dispersion of dust into the environment. In addition, the HEPA filter collects
impurities including pollen as well as dust mites.

The steam feature:
The Lecoaspira steam is dry and powerful. Thanks to the heat, it removes and dissolves dirt
eliminating grease, germs and dust mites. The sanitising force of steam is completely natural
and has a cleaning power that even the most modern chemical detergents cannot equal.

You can find useful suggestions on our website www.polti.com to take full advantage of all the
features of your Lecoaspira. Please consult the “Guide for a Healthy and Clean Home” found
on the home page of the website.

We hope you enjoy your Polti product.

This unit conforms with EC-directives 2004/108/CE (EMC) and 2006/95/CE
(low voltage).).

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

scale. To prevent these deposits from causing damage to the appliance, use KALSTOP FP 2003, a
special natural descaling agent that removes scale. This allows avoiding scale formation and protec­ting the metal walls of the boiler. KALSTOP FP 2003 can be found in small appliance stores and Polti
service centres. Alternatively, use a 50/50 mixture of tap water and demineralised water.

- Never use distilled water or scented water.

- Do not put any detergent or chemical substance in the boiler.

- We recommend you use original Polti products only, as products of other brands may not be

suitable for use in Polti products and could cause damage.

LECOASPIRA FRIENDLY

Lecoaspira Friendly is a multi-function appliance which, depending on the need and type of clea­ning you want to do, can be used:

- Just as a vacuum to remove dust from surfaces. In this case, remember to add water to the dirt
collection container (see Paragraph 1 of the “preparing for use”)

- Just as a steam cleaner to sanitise surfaces. For this feature, the container must be filled with wa­ter to supply the boiler (see Paragraph 2 of the “preparing for use”)

- To use the suction and steam features at the same time to vacuum, wash and dry at the same
time. Naturally, in this case both the dirt collection container and the tank must be filled.

PREPARING FOR USE

1) IF YOU HAVE TO VACUUM:

1.A) FILL THE DIRT COLLECTION CONTAINER/FILTER WITH WATER

Lift the handle (X) of the dirt collection container (W) (Fig. 2). Remove the container (W) from its housing
(Fig. 3). Turn the handle (X) of the container backwards in order to remove the “Eco-Active” filter assem-
bly (Y). Fill the container with about 1.2 L of plain tap water up to the MAX indicator (Fig. 5).
You can also add the natural, anti-foam liquid and deodorant to the Bioecological container which, in ad­dition to filling the room with a pleasant perfume, prevents the formation of foam in the water filter, guaran­teeing the correct operation of the appliance. (For more detailed information please refer to the specific
paragraph)
Replace the filter assembly (Y) in the dirt container (W) returning it to its original position. Reposition the
dirt container (W) in the specific space and turn the handle until it returns to its starting position.

1.B ) WATER REPLACEMENT DURING USE

Dust, solids or liquids can be vacuumed equally with this product.
When the dirt sucked into the water container (W) reaches the maximum allowed level, suction will be au­tomatically blocked by the special safety float. This can also occur when the water in the container is very
dirty. In these cases, there will be an increase in the motor speed. When this occurs, the water must be
replaced in the container.
Turn off the appliance and only restart it when the level of the water in the container has been restored as
described in the chapter “Emptying and cleaning the dirt container.”
Any immediate restarting when the appliance has gone into pause mode can damage the air outlet filter.

ENGLISH

2) IF YOU NEED TO USE THE STEAM FEATURE:

2.A) FILLING THE BOILER

Unscrew the safety cap (J) (Fig. 1) and fill the boiler with about 1.1 l of water using the appropriate funnel
(8). Screw the cap back on (J) carefully, making sure that the safety cap is screwed on properly, other-
wise steam make leak out.
N.B. Ordinary tap water may also be used. However, since water contains limestone by nature, which
may cause scaling in the long run, we recommend using a mixture of 50% tap water and 50% deminera­lised water. To use tap water only and avoid scale formation, we recommend the addition of the special
natural scale removal agent KALSTOP FP 2003.
Do not use only demineralized water but mix it as described above with tap water.
We recommend you use original Polti products only, as products of other brands may not be suitable for
use in Polti products and could cause unwelcome difficulties. Never use distilled water or scented water.
