during preparation, maintenance and
storage, always take the fundamental
precautions listed in this manual.
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-
| 19 |

VT ECO PRO 3.0 - M0S11217 - 1P06:UNICO 06/08/2015 15.35 Pagina 19
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 –
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 safety caps can lead to accidents.
• When accessing the pressurised boiler
| 20 |
ENGLISH
VT ECO PRO 3.0 - M0S11217 - 1P06:UNICO 06/08/2015 15.35 Pagina 20
(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 therefore 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.
• 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.

INFORMATION FOR USERS
Pursuant to European Directive 2012/19/EU, regarding electric
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
The crossed-out bin symbol on the appliance indicates that, at the end of its useful lifespan, the product
must be disposed of separately from other waste.
Therefore, at the end of its life, the user must handover 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,

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
residual water in the boiler.
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 limescale product,
distributed by Polti, and available for sale at all major domesticappliance stores and 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.
