1. Unscrew the patented safety cap (A) and fill
the boiler with about 1,3 litres of water using
the filler funnel (14) making sure that it does
not overflow (fig. 1). Normal tapwater can be
used. However, as hard water by its nature
contains limestone, which may cause a
build-up of limescale in the tank, in hard wa-
ter areas we recommend the use of our na-
tural-base decalcifier KALSTOP, available
from your Polti dealer or by mail order from
your Polti service Centre.
2. Carefully screw on the safety cap to hand ti-
ght (Fig. 2). Make sure the patented safety
cap (A) is fully and correctly screwed on,
otherwise you may experience steam esca-
ping from around the cap.
3. Connect the power supply cable (F) into an
earthed power supply of the correct voltage.
WARNING: Do NOT under any circumstances
put or leave the filler funnel or filler bottle in the
water filling aperture of the appliance when the
appliance is connected to the mains electricity
supply. Danger of burns!

1a. Press down the generator on/off switch (B)
and the accessories on/off switch (C) which
will light up.
2a. Open the cover of the central connector
block (D) and insert the central connector (4)
pressing the connector button (5) and taking
care that the locking tab (6) is correctly posi-
tioned in the lock-in aperture (E) on the
block (Fig. 3).
3a. When the generator on/off switch (B) goes
out, the steam cleaner is ready for use
4a. The steam gun (2) is equipped with a safety
switch (2A) which prevents the accidental
start of the steam jet by children or people
who do not know how to operate the ap-
pliance. With the switch 2A in the “OFF” po-
sition, the lever controlling the steam jet is
locked. Should the hose be left unattended
for a moment whilst the appliance is connec-
ted to the mains, it is recommended to put
the safety switch in the “OFF” position. To
start the steam jet, move the 2A switch
backwards (ON) and squeeze the steam re-
quest lever (Fig. 4).
The first burst of steam may contain some water
droplets, due to imperfect thermic stabilisation
inside the flexible hose. We would therefore ad-
vise that the first jet of steam is played onto an
old cloth until a constant pressure of steam is
obtained.
Note: The generator on/off switch (B) may go on
and off from time to time during use of VAPO-
RETTO. This means the machine maintains the
correct and constant pressure and is quite nor-
mal. If the flexible hose is too much twisted du-
ring use, the NO-VOLT device stops the steam
flow. To resume the steam release, press the
steam request lever.

VAPORETTOs are equipped with a steam regu-
lation control (I) (Fig. 5). You can increase the
steam flow by turning the control in clockwise di-
rection. Turning it in an anti- clockwise direction
reduces the steam flow. Here are some sugge-
stions for the choice of steam flow level:
• Strong steam: For encrusted dirt, stains, sani-
tising, grease.
• Normal steam: For carpets, rugs, glass, tiles
etc.
• Delicate steam: For vaporising plants and
cleaning delicate fabrics, upholstery, wallpa-
per etc.
Please read separate warning about use on
draylon, velvet and other delicate fabrics, or on
sensitive wood surfaces.
