IMPORTANT SAFTETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE VAPOR CLEANING SYSTEM

When using the Cleaning System, always use basic precaution, including the following:

Warning- To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or injury:

1. Do not leave appliance when plugged in. Unplug the Cleaning System from outlet when not in use, or before

servicing.

2. The Cleaning System is designed and manufactured according to the best reliability and safety techniques;

however the Cleaning System is not meant to be used by minors. Do not allow the Cleaning System to be used
as a toy. Close attention is necessary when the system is being used around minors. Never allow minors to use
or play with the system.

3. Use only as described in the manual. Only use original manufacturer attachments.

4. Do not use the Cleaning System with a damaged cord or plug. If the Cleaning System has been dropped,

damaged, left outdoors, or submerged in water, contact an Authorized Service Center.

5. Do not pull or carry Cleaning System by the cord.

6. Do not use the cord as a handle. Never close the door on the cord. Never pull it around edges or corners. Never

run appliances over the cord. Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

7. Do not unplug by pulling the cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.

8. Do not handle the plug with wet hands.

9. Do not spray any water on the Cleaning System.

10. Do not pull the Cleaning System by the hose; be sure to use the handle on the Cleaning System.

11. Do not allow objects to get into the output nozzles. Do not try to operate the Cleaning System with any of the

openings blocked. Keep opening free of dust, lint, hair or anything that will reduce the vapor flow.

12. Keep all parts of the body away from output nozzles and moving parts of the System.

13. Use extra care when using the Cleaning System on stairs.

14. Use extra care when cleaning around a water source (swimming pools, spas, toilets, etc.)

15. Do not use the Cleaning System to clean animals.

16. Never aim the vapor jet towards electrical or electronic appliances, people or animals.

17. Turn off all controls before unplugging the Vapor System.

18. Do not fill the Cleaning System with anything other than clean tap water.

19. To reduce the risk of electrical shock- use indoors only.

20. Do not use to pick up flammable or combustible liquids, such as gasoline, or use in areas where they may be

present.

21. Plug the Cleaning System to power outlets with a properly grounded electrical system.

22. Do not pick up anything that is burning or smoking such as cigarettes, matches or hot ashes.

23. Before opening the boiler’s flushvalve, make sure there is no pressure and the Cleaning System has been

off for at least 5 hours.

24. Use ONLY drinkable tap water: do not use distilled water and do not insert chemicals in the fresh water tank.

25. Do not introduce other flammable liquids, acids and/or other objects in the tanks.

26. While using the accessories, never touch the metal ending parts: it is easy to get burnt.

27. Do NOT unplug either the accessories or the hose while the Cleaning System is generating vapor to avoid

getting burnt.

28. Be sure that accessories are properly locked on the hose by turning the red collar.

29. Avoid shaking the Cleaning System while it is working (a misreading of the water level in the tank and in the

boiler could occur).

30. The refilling pump periodically switches on, at regular intervals, producing an internal buzzing sound, which

is perfectly normal.

31. The Cleaning System is fitted with a series of safety devices that make Cleaning System reliable and safe. For

this purpose, we indicate in particular, that in case the safety valve activates, for a couple of seconds, vapor
will come out from the bottom of the Cleaning System and a loud sound will be heard with a high pitch hiss;
all this happens under maximum safety limits and should not worry the customer.

32. The bottom of the Cleaning System is hot; USE CAUTION if you have to lift the Cleaning System.

33. In the injection model, DO NOT pour any liquid other than mild/light detergents or disinfectants in the

external injection tank (no bleach, acid, corrosive liquids, etc…). Also make sure the detergents or
disinfectants do not become toxic in contact with vapour at high temperature or when heated over 90°C
/190°F.

Section 1- GETTING STARTED

1.1 The Control Panel

Figure 1- Control Panel

Lights

 Orange light: Economy (see section 1.3) –Light on: economy engaged, Light off: Normal Function, Light Flashing:

heating elements off

 Yellow light: Water refilling, it indicates the absence of water in the external tank and it stops the generation of vapor,

until water is added to external tank. This is to avoid damage to the heating elements.

 Green light: OK, it indicates that maximum working pressure has been reached. While using the machine this light will

change between solid and flashing, according to the vapor pressure reached in the boiler. Light on (solid): machine is
ready and elements are off, Light flashing: heating elements are on, light off: heating elements are off.

 Red light: Water replace: it has many functions; it indicates the need of a water replacement in the boiler. If water has

been changed in the boiler and the system reset (refer to section 3.1) has been performed, but the light is still on, this
may indicate a temporary malfunctioning of the refilling mechanism. When the red light is on, all the machine
functions are deactivated.

Other Elements Found on Control Panel

 Pressure gauge: it indicates the vapor pressure in the boiler.
 Pressure regulator: used to control the force of the pressure released by machine
 Economy button: used to engage economy function (see section 1.3)
 On/Off switch: used to turn machine ON and OFF

 Pump injection switch: enables injection pump feature (refer to section 5)

1.2 Turning Machine ON

Place the machine on a horizontal surface to avoid misreading water levels.

Fill the external tank (approx. 5 litres- 1,3 Us gallon ) with drinkable tap water and carefully reposition the cap with
the probes inside the tank (refer to section 2.3)

Connect VAPORE 3000 ASPIRA to a grounded power outlet. Make sure the power outlet can bear the machine power
(look at the technical features on the machine).

VAPORE 3000 ASPIRA is switched on by pressing the ON/OFF button (refer to fig. 1)



button in "0" position  VAPORE 3000 ASPIRA is turned OFF



button in "I" position  VAPORE 3000 ASPIRA is turned ON

Note: If the probes on the cap are not immersed in the water, the machine will not work; also, when turning on VAPORE
3000 ASPIRA without water in the tank, the heating phase will not start.

To indicate that the machine is heating, the green light “OK” will flash.

After the heating process ends (12-15 minutes) and the machine is ready to use, the green light “OK” will turn solid.

Note: It is advisable, in the warm-up phase, not to use the “Economy” function (the corresponding light signal must
be off).

1.3 The Economy Function

VAPORE 3000 ASPIRA can work in normal mode or in Economy mode. The Economizer switch allows the user to
switch from normal function into Economy mode, and vice versa. The Economy function allows one of the heating
elements to be deactivated, thus reducing the power absorbed by around 40%. When the suction device is connected
to the machine and is activated, the electronic card automatically shifts the working condition from normal to
Economy.

Note: The Economy function doesn’t change VAPORE 3000 ASPIRA’s cleaning and sterilising capability.
However, we suggest you use this function only after the warm-up phase: if not, the time necessary for the appliance
to heat will increase.
