IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
GROUNDING INSTRUCTION
This appliance must be grounded. If it should
malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a
path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is
equipped with a cord having an equipmentgrounding conductor and grounding plug. The
plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet
that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
TECHNICAL DATA
Voltage:...............................................120 V~
Frequency:............................................60 Hz
Max wattage:.....................................1000 W
This appliance conforms with Directive
2004/108/EC (EMC) and Directive
2006/95/EC (low voltage).
POLTI S.p.A, reserves the right without prior notice to introduce technical and construction
changes as it considers necessary.
WARNING
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric
shock. Check with a qualified electrician or service person it you are in doubt as to whether the
outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the
plug provided with the appliance - if it will not fit
the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
This appliance is for use on a nominal 120-volt
circuit, and has a grounded plug that looks like
the plug illustrated in sketch A in figure A. A temporaly adaptor that looks like the adaptor illustrated in sketches B and C may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shhown
in sketch B if a properly grounded outlet is not
available.
The temporary adaptor should be used only until
a properly grounded outlet (scketch A) can be
installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or the like extending from the
adaptor must be connected to a permanent
ground such as a properly grounded outlet box
cover. Whenever the adaptor is used, it must be
held in place by metal screw.

This product complies with EU Directive
2002/96/EC.
The crossed-out wastebasket symbol
on the appliance means that at the end
of its useful lifespan, the product must
be disposed of separately from ordi-
nary household wastes.
The user is responsible for delivering the appliance to an appropriate collection facility at the
end of its useful lifespan.

IMPORTANT
Before leaving our factory all our products are rigorously tested. Your Vaporetto may contain some residual water in the boiler from the factory
testing.
PREPARATION FOR USE
• Unscrew the safety cap (A) by pressing and
holding (fig. 1).
• Fill the boiler with up to 6,5 fl oz (200 ml) of wa-
ter, using the jug (10) (fig.2).
It is a good idea to check that the boiler is
empty before filling it.
WARNING: never exceed the maximum boiler fill level of
the jug supplied.
• Carefully screw the cap back in fully.
Ensure that the safety cap (A) is correctly fastened. If not, steam could escape from the
opening.
• Plug the power cable (D) into a suitable socket
with an earth connection.
• The “Steam Ready” lamp (C) will turn on.
Wait for the steam ready lamp (C) to go out
(approx. 5 minutes). Your appliance is now
ready for use.
• To supply steam, simply press the steam request lever (B) (fig.3).
• The first time it is used, drops of water may
leak out. This is due to an imperfect thermal
stabilisation within the flex. We therefore recommend directing the first jet of steam onto a
cloth, until a uniform jet is obtained.
NOTE: the steam ready lamp (C) turns on and
off during use. This indicates that the electric resistance is operating to keep constant pressure
and is therefore quite normal.
6,5 fl oz (200 ml)
USE
; always use
IMPORTANT:
• During use, do not tilt the appliance more than
45°. If necessary, use the flex (1) keeping the
product horizontal.
ATTENTION: if pressing the steam request lever
(B) when the appliance is still pressurised, even
if off and disconnected from the mains, steam
may in any case be released. As such, before
turning the appliance off and putting it away,
please first press the steam request lever (B) until the steam flow ceases.
“WATER OUT”
When no more steam comes out of the appliance, do as follows:
• Disconnect the power supply cable (D) from
the mains.
• Act on the steam request lever (B) until steam
flow ceases.
• Wait for a few minutes to allow the generator
boiler to cool down.
• Unscrew the safety cap (A) by pressing and
holding (fig. 1).
• When cool, proceed to carefully refill the boiler
as described in “Preparation for Use” section.
If refilling the generator when not completely
cooled, we recommend that you then CAREFULLY pour only very small quantities of water
at each pouring, so as to avoid spitting from the
boiler. Cover exposed skin whilst filling.

TIPS FOR BETTER UNIT
PERFORMANCE
WARNINGS
• For cleaning leather, wood or delicate fabrics,
consult the surface manufacturers instructions.
ENGLISH
Clean without accessories at a safe distance
together with a soft cloth and always do a test
on a non visible part of the item first or on a
sample. Allow the test area to dry completely
before observing results and effects on surface
or colour before proceeding to clean further
areas, making sure that exactly the same distance and technique are applied as for the test area.
DO NOT USE ON DRAYLON, VELVET OR
OTHER SIMILAR PILE OR DELICATE SURFACES
• For cleaning wood surfaces (furniture, doors
etc.) or brickwork floors take great care as a
too long application of the steam could alter the
waxed appearance, the shine or the colour of
the surfaces cleaned. We therefore recommend you to apply the steam on such surfaces
only for brief periods or to clean these surfaces
using a cloth first held in the steam.
• When cleaning glass surfaces in particularly
low temperatures preheat the glass holding the
appliance at minimum 20 In (50 cm) distance
from the surface to be cleaned.
• For the care of your plants vaporise at a minimum distance of 20 In (50 cm) .
The more stubborn the dirt, the closer the steam
gun must be kept, as temperature and pressure
are greatest at the time of release. In all cases,
after steaming, rub more stubborn dirt with a dry
cloth or abrasive sponge.
Vaporetto can be used without accessories to:
• treat marks on carpets or rugs
• clean stainless steel, glass, mirrors, stratified
and enamel coverings;
• clean corners that are difficult to access, such
as stairs, window frames, door frames, aluminium profiles;
• clean hob knobs and tap bases;
• clean shutters, radiators and car interiors;
• steam house plants
(from a distance);
• eliminate odours and creases from clothes.
FLEX (1)
The flex is used to reach points that are difficult
to access.
To join the flex (1) to the appliance, simply bring
•
the arrow on the flex into line with the single notch on the appliance (fig. 4) and then rotate the
flex body in the direction of the arrow, until it
clicks into place.
• To release the flex, pull the little lever above it
and rotate in the opposite direction from before
(fig. 5).
• In turn, the lance can be connected to the flex
(2) and therefore all other accessories supplied.
LANCE (2)
The lance allows you to direct the jet of steam to the
most hidden and difficult parts to reach with the
steam gun. Ideal for cleaning radiators, door and
window frames, bathroom elements and shutters. It
is an extremely important accessory.
• To attach the lance (2), simply bring the arrow on
the lance into line with the single notch on the appliance (fig.6) and then rotate the lance in the direction of the arrow.
The following accessories can be attached to the
lance:
• To attach the window-washing accessory (3),
the curved nozzle (4), the brushes (5) (6), the
spatula (7) and the accessory for grouting (8),
simply insert them into the lance tip and rotate
until they lock into place. (fig.7).
(3) - Window-washing accessory: recommended for cleaning windows and mirrors.
Windows should be cleaned in 2 stages:
• Steaming the surface to be cleaned to dissolve
the dirt, using the steam request lever (B);
• Rubbing the window-washing frame over it to
eliminate the dirt, without steaming.
By covering the window-washing (3) with the
cloth (9), this accessory can be transformed into
a small brush (fig.8).
The small brush can be used for:
• furnishing fabrics (after a few tests on hidden
parts);
• velvets and leathers (from a distance and after
a few tests on hidden parts));
• car interiors, dirt-encrusted windscreen;
• small glass surfaces;
