RISKS CONNECTED TO THE POWER
SUPPLY – ELECTROCUTION

• The earthing system and highly sensi­tive residual-current circuit breaker,
complete with magnetothermic cut-out
for your domestic system, guarantee
safe use of electrical appliances.
Therefore, for your own safety, check
that the electrical system to which the
appliance is connected complies with
current laws.

• Do not connect the appliance to the
mains if the voltage does not corre­spond with that of the domestic electri­cal circuit in use.

• Do not overload the sockets with adap­tors and/or transformers. Only connect
the product to a single socket with cur­rent that is compatible with the sup­plied plug.

• Do not use electrical extension leads
that are unsuitable for the power rating
or which are not compliant with law.
They may overheat and possibly lead to
short circuiting, fire, power outage or
damage to the equipment. Only use ex­tension leads which are certified, suita­ble for the power rating, supporting 16A
and earthed.

• Always turn the appliance off at the
ON/OFF switch before unplugging it.

• To remove the plug from the socket, do
not pull the power cable, but hold the
plug itself to avoid damage to the plug
and the cable.

• Always unplug the appliance if it is not
in use and before any preparation,
maintenance or cleaning operation.

• The appliance must not be left unatten­ded if plugged in to the mains.

• Fully unwind the cable from the cable
winder before connecting the appliance
to the mains and before use. Always
use the product with the cable comple­tely unwound.

• Do not pull or jerk the cable or expose it
to tensions (twisting, crushing or stret­ching). Keep the cable away from hot
and/or sharp surfaces and elements.
Avoid crushing the cables in doors and
windows. Do not pull the cable tight
around corners. Avoid treading on the
cable. Do not pass over the cable with
the appliance. Do not wind the power
cable around the appliance, especially if
the appliance is hot.

• Do not substitute the plug on the power
cable.

• If the power cable is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, its service
agent or similarly qualified persons in or­der to avoid all possible hazards. Do not
use the product if the power cable is da­maged.

• Do not touch or use the appliance bare­foot and/or with wet body or feet.

• Do not use the appliance near contai-

| 17 |

ENGLISH

ners full of water, e.g. sinks, baths and
swimming pools.

• Do not immerse the appliance, including
the power cable and plug, in water or
other liquids.

• Steam must not be directed towards
equipment containing electric or elec­tronic components.

RISKS DURING USE OF THE PRODUCT –

ENGLISH

INJURIES/SCALDING

• The product should not be used in
areas where there is a danger of explo­sions or in the presence of toxic sub­stances.

• Do not pour toxic substances, acids,
solvents, detergents, corrosive substan­ces and/or explosives or perfumes into
the boiler.

• Only pour water or the water mix indi­cated in the Chapter “WHICH WATER
TO USE” into the boiler.

• Do not direct the steam jet onto toxic
substances, acids, solvents, detergents
or corrosive substances. The handling
and removal of dangerous substances
must be carried out according to the in­dications of the manufacturers of these
substances.

• Do not direct the steam jet onto explo­sive powders or liquids, hydrocarbons,
open flames and or extremely hot ob­jects.

• Re-wind the cable when the appliance is
not in use.

• Use the special carry handle for tran­sport. Do not pull the power cable. Do
not use the power cable as a handle. Do
not lift the appliance using the power
cable or the steam hoses/vacuum tu­bes.

• Do not position the product near sour­ces of heat such as fireplaces, stoves
and ovens.

• Do not obstruct the openings and grills
on the product.

• Do not direct the steam jet on any part
of the body of people or animals.

• Do not direct the steam jet on clothes
while they are being worn.

• Cloths and rags and fabrics which have
been subjected to a deep steam reach
very high temperatures, above 100°C.
Wait a few minutes and check that they
have cooled before handling them. The­refore, avoid contact with the skin if
they have just been steamed.

• During use, keep the product in a hori­zontal position on stable surfaces.

• The steam lock on the handle guaran­tees greater safety, as it prevents the
accidental activation of steam delivery
by children or people who are unaware
of the function of the appliance. When
steam is not being used, engage the
steam lock.
To continue steam delivery, return the
switch to its original position.

• Always use the appliance with the sa­fety cap supplied or an original replace­ment part. Using non-original Polti sa-

| 18 |

fety caps can lead to accidents.

• When accessing the pressurised boiler
(removing the cap, filling up), ensure
that the appliance has been switched
off at the power switch and disconnec­ted from the mains for at least one
hour, allowing it to cool. There is a risk
of accidents while the boiler is a swit­ched on/hot and pressurised.

• Do not connect the appliance with the
safety cap removed. Carefully tighten
the safety cap before plugging in and
turning on the appliance.

• Before turning on the appliance, check
that there is nothing blocking the
mouth of the boiler (filler bottle, funnel,
or other objects), and that the safety
cap is closed.

• Check that the safety cap is correctly ti­ghtened; if steam is escaping from the
cap, switch off the boiler, unplug the
power cable, wait for one hour for the
appliance to cool, and then unscrew.
Check the condition of the safety cap
and seal. If the cap is in good condition,
screw it back on completely. If steam
continues to escape from the cap, take
the appliance to the nearest authorised
service centre.

• Periodically check the condition of the
safety cap and seal. Impact and being
dropped may compromise the safety of
the cap. Replace with an original spare
part or replace the seal.

• If the cap spins freely, this indicates that
the boiler is still pressurised and there-

fore hot. Never force the cap open,
whether the appliance is switched on or
the boiler is switched off and the ap­pliance is disconnected from the mains.
Always wait for the boiler to cool, ope­ning the cap without force.

• Do not use tools to unscrew the cap. If
the cap cannot be removed, even once
the appliance has cooled, go to your
nearest authorised service centre.

ENGLISH

• WARNING Never fill the boiler as
soon as the safety cap has been opened
when the boiler is still hot, even if the
appliance is unplugged from the mains.
On contact with the hot, empty boiler,
cold water will evaporate producing a
spray of steam which can cause burns.
Only fill the boiler when cold and al­ways keep your face away from the boi­ler mouth when filling.

• The use of non-original Polti caps and
disregard for the instructions in this ma­nual constitutes improper use. Polti
S.p.A. declines all liability for any acci­dent deriving from any improper use of
this appliance.

ENGLISH

and electronic appliances, this appliance must not be dispo­sed of with domestic waste, but sent to an official collection
facility. This appliance complies with EU Directive 2011/65/EU

ver the appliance to an appropriate collection centre for elec­tric and electronic waste. Proper separate waste collection to
facilitate the subsequent recycling, treatment and environ­mentally compatible disposal of the appliance helps to pre­vent negative effects on the environment and human health,
and promotes recycling of the materials the product is made
of. Unlawful disposal by the owner involves the application of
the administrative sanctions envisaged by current legislation.

Polti S.p.A. reserves the right to change equipment or accessory
specification without prior notice.
Before leaving our factory all our products are rigorously tested.
This is the reason why your VAPORETTO may contain some

WHICH WATER TO USE IN THE BOILER

This appliance has been designed to function with normal
medium tap water between 8°F and 20°F. If the tap water
contains a lot of limescale use a mix composed of 50% tap
water and 50% demineralised water which is widely available
to purchase. Do not use pure demineralised water.
Warning: check the hardness of the water at the technical office
at your local council or the local water supplier.
If you only use tap water, you can reduce the formation of
limescale by using the special Kalstop FP2003 decalcifying
product, distributed by Polti, and available for sale at all major
domestic-appliance stores or online at www.polti.com.
Never use distilled water, rain water or water containing
additives (e.g. starch, perfumes), or water produced by other
domestic appliances, by water softeners or filter jugs.
Do not use chemical substances or detergents.

WHAT THE WARRANTY COVERS
During the warranty, Polti guarantees free repair of a product
with a manufacturing or factory defect and, therefore, the client
is not liable to pay for any work or materials.
In case of irreparable defects, Polti may replace the product
free of charge.

To avail of the warranty, the customer should visit one of the
Polti Authorised Service Centres with proof of purchase from
the seller valid for tax purposes and bearing the date of
purchase of the product. Without proof of purchase and the
relative date of purchase, the work will be charged for. Store
the proof of purchase document safely for the whole duration
of the warranty.
