• Before using your VAPORETTO carefully read these usage instructions.
• Before connecting VAPORETTO to the mains make sure that the current is the same
as that indicated for the machine and that the plug is an earthed plug.
• Do not introduce any detergent or chemical substance into the generator tank.
Do not put any detergent or chemical substance in the tank.
Water by its nature contains magnesium, mineral salts and other deposits which in hard
water areas can contribute to limescale build up in the tank. To avoid these problems,
it is necessary to swill out with tapwater and empty the generator tank after every 3
or 4 uses.In very hard water areas we recommend the use of our KALSTOP TP 2000,
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 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.
Do not use in any event distilled water or descaler.
•Do not refill the tank while it is still hot, allow it to cool down for a few minutes before
refilling.
• During filling and refilling we recommend you disconnect the machine from the mains
supply.
• Never empty VAPORETTO when the water inside the generator tank is still hot.
• Do not place the appliance or any of the tools whilst connected in water or in any
other liquids.
• Do not touch the appliance with wet hands or feet whilst the appliance is connected
to the mains.
• Never leave the appliance unattended whilst it is connected to the mains.
•Do not allow VAPORETTO to be used by children or by people who are not familiar with
the usage instructions.
•When REfilling the generator tank, use HOT rather than cold water, pour in gently at
first and keep your face away. Otherwise the still hot tank walls can spit drops of very
hot water or steam spray.
•When cleaning ovens, refrigerators and other electrical appliances, ALWAYS clean with the
electricity supply switched off to the appliance you are cleaning, and make sure you keep
the steam well away from the parts which will be live when the appliance is re-connected.
• Do not leave the appliance exposed to wind or rain.
• Do not lay the hot appliance on surfaces sensitive to heat.
• Do not use electric extension leads that are not authorized by the manufacturer, as
they may cause damage or fire.
•In case of breakdown or malfunction switch off the appliance and never attempt to disassemble it, but refer to an authorized service center.
• In case of accidental fall of the appliance it is necessary to have it checked
by an authorized service center as the internal safety features may have
been affected.
•Never direct the jet of steam towards small particles of debris without first
protecting the user’s eyes.
• Do not direct the steam jet at people or animals.
Danger of burns!
• Never place your hands inside the jet of steam.
