"Bioecologico" is available for sanitising while using the suction
function. It is a scented antibacterial product with natural-based
anti-allergenic substances. If it is added regularly to the water
used to fill the water container (5) of the L’ecologico, it will pre­vent the proliferation of bacteria and micro-organisms and inhibit
the action of allergens. In addition to ensuring a sanitising action,
"Biecologico" will eliminate smells due to the presence of dust in
the water, leaving a pleasant smell of cleanness in the room.
Use: Normally add 5 ml each time you fill the water-based filter.
Bioecologico is sold in household appliance shops or direct from
our authorised Assistance Centres.

•Switch off the appliance at the mains switch (11) and discon­nect the power supply cable from the mains.

• Disconnect the tube from the junction by turning it anticlock­wise.

• Push the opening button (8) on the upper cover (7).

• Lift the cover (7) by turning it upwards as indicated in fig. 1.

• Lift the container handle (6) by taking it to the height of the
tube hole as in fig. 10.

•Take out the container (5) by pulling it out of the appliance
(fig. 11)

• Pull the water filter cage (20) upwards and then pull it out
(fig. 12-13).

• Empty the container (5) and rinse it.

• Unhook the elbow tube locking ring (25) by pulling it out­wards (fig. 14).

• Pull the elbow tube (26) from the filter body (24) until it slips
off (fig. 15).

• Divide all the components as described in the key and then
rinse them under running water (if the sponge filter is dam­aged, replace it by contacting a Polti Authorized Service Cen­tre)

• Before putting the sponge filters (22-23) back, wring them
by using a cloth so as to dry them perfectly.

• Reassemble the water filter group (20) by repeating the op­eration in reverse.

NOTE: before reassembling the water filter, make sure that
all the parts have been properly dried.

• Put the filter group (20) back into the container (5) so as to
insert the elbow tube (26) between the two projections of the
container (fig. 16).

• Gently push the water container handle (6) until the two slots
on the handle fit with the two pins (4) on the appliance (fig.

17).

• Before storing the appliance or before using it again, make a
drying cycle as described in the "Drying cycle" paragraph.

DDDDRRRRYYYYIIIINNNNGGGG CCCCYYYYCCCCLLLLEE

EE

Warning: make the drying cycle with the empty tank.
The drying cycle eliminates possible water particles present in
the filters and in the suction tubes of the container (5). The pur­pose of this process is to avoid interventions of the humidity sen­sor, which interrupts the operation of the appliance.
The humidity sensor acts in protection of the Hepa filter prevent­ing humidity particles from reaching it, damaging its function.

• Move the two air outlet filter grill opening levers (18) at the
same time by pushing them towards the inside (fig. 18) so as
to allow the air outlet filter grill (17) to unhook.

• Remove the Hepa filter (19) as described in the "Cleaning or
replacing the Hepa filter" paragraph.

• Remove the back sponge filter (19a).

• Connect the supply cable plug (27) to the mains.

• The first stage of the luminous indicator light (13) will start to
flash.

•To reactivate the appliance, keep the mains On/Off switch
(11) pushed until the machine reaches the maximum speed

• The appliance will keep on working until the humidity sensor
feels the presence of water in the circuit.

• When the sensor no longer feels water in the circuits of the
appliance, it will automatically go to the stand-by position and
the luminous indicator (13) will start to flash.

• Put the Hepa filter (19) and the air outlet filter grill (17) back.

• If you want to use the appliance again, fill the water container
(5) as indicated in the "Preparation" paragraph, otherwise
store the appliance with the container (5) empty.

• If the sensor measures some humidity, the machine will stop
and the 4 lights on the luminous indicator (13) will start to
flash alternately first to last and viceversa.

•To reactivate the appliance, keep the mains On/Off switch
(11) pushed until the machine reaches the maximum speed.

• The appliance will keep on working until the humidity sensor
feels the presence of water in the circuit.

• When the sensor no longer feels water in the circuits of the
appliance, it will automatically go to the stand-by position and
the luminous indicator (13) will start to flash.

• Reassemble the Hepa filter (19) and the air outlet filter grill
(17), inserting first the two pins (18a) into the locking holes
(18b) (fig. 19).

Warning: make the drying cycle with the empty tank.

NOTE: the filter lasts about 100 hours (about 6 months) in

normal domestic use. If the suction power noticeably
decreases, replace the filter even before the 100
hours.

¡Attention! Do not use the appliance without reading the in­structions.

• Never store the appliance with the container full of water

• Never store the appliance vertically

• When the appliance is without the water container (5), pay at­tention that liquids and solid objects do not go inside

• In case of damage or malfunction, do not attempt to disas­semble the appliance but contact the nearest Polti Autho­rised Service Centre.

• The mains the appliance is connected to must conform with
regulations

• Do not allow children to use the machine or any others who
may not know how to operate it .

Trouble

The suction switches off and
the 4 indicator lights flash
alternately.

The suction switches off during
use and the 4 indicator lights
flash simultaneously.

The drying cycle lasts more
than 3 minutes.

Cause

The suction hose or the elbow
tube are obstructed.

The suction power is too high
for the type of surface.

Intervention of the humidity
sensor because the filters
and tubes are not dry enough.

Intervention of the humidity
sensor because of too
much water in the container.

Intervention of the humidity
sensor for accidental
anomalous movement of
the appliance during use.

The humidity sensor does not
work correctly.

Solution

Take out any obstructions in
the tubes.

Keep the mains On/Off switch
pushed until the 4 indicator
lights go back to constant light
from flashing, taking the suc­tion power to the speed pre­viously set.

Operate as described in
the "Drying cycle" paragraph.

Empty the container and
operate as described in the
"Drying cycle" paragraph. Fill
the container again by using
the jug supplied.

Empty the container and
proceed as described
in the"Drying cycle" paragraph.
