[. . . ] 48 Pagina 2 VAPORETTO ECO CARE ENGLISH Read these instructions carefully before using the appliance. Dear Customer, Congratulations and thank you for purchasing this POLTI product, contributing to the conservation of our most precious natural resource: the Environment. VAPORETTO solves all cleaning and hygiene problems without the use of detergents - all that’s needed is just normal tap water which our system transforms into steam at a constant powerful pressure, allowing you to clean more thoroughly and in an ecological way. Our Technical Development team have added a range of sophisticated improvements to make cleaning tasks both safer and more effective: • The new handle is smaller, lighter, easier to handle and more comfortable to use because you can start producing steam with just one finger, by lightly pressing a button. [. . . ] Always make sure generator on/off switch (B) is switched OFF before connecting the appliance to the mains. Press down the generator on/off switch (B) and the accessories on/off switch (C) which will light up. 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 positioned in the lock-in aperture (E) on the block (Fig. 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 appliance. With the switch (2A) in the “OFF” position, the lever controlling the steam jet is locked (Fig. Should the hose be left unattended for a moment whilst the appliance is connected to the mains, it is recommended to put the safety switch in the “OFF” position. To start working, set the (2A) switch to the “ON” position and press the steam button (Fig. The first burst of steam may contain some water droplets, due to imperfect thermic stabilisation inside the flexible hose. We would therefore advise 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 VAPORETTO. This means the machine is maintaining the correct and constant pressure and is quite normal. STEAM REGULATION FEATURE VAPORETTOs are equipped with a steam regulation control (I) (Fig. You can increase the steam flow by turning the control in clockwise direction. Here are some suggestions for the choice of steam flow level: • Strong steam: for encrusted dirt, stains, grease and for sanitising. Please read separate warning about use on draylon, velvet and other delicate fabrics, or on sensitive wood surfaces. CONNECTION OF ACCESSORIES All the accessories of VAPORETTO can be connected to the handle or to the extension tubes as per the following instructions (fig. Move the locking button (11) on the accessory to the “open” position. Attach the required accessory to the hand gun or to the extension tube. Move the locking button (11) back to the position ‘closed’. Check that the locking button has engaged and the accessory is fully connected. PATENTED SAFETY CAP / ’’WATER OUT’’ The appliance is equipped with a patented safety cap, which prevents opening of the generator tank as long as there is any pressure remaining inside. [. . . ] The warm moisture on the cloth traps the dust, spots and the static electricity so that the furniture stays clean longer. 120° STEAM NOZZLE (16) The 120° nozzle (which can be connected directly to the gun or together with the extension tubes) allows you to concentrate a powerful jet of steam to otherwise inaccessible locations, such as radiators, door posts, sills and shutters, as well as for sterilising toilet bowls. 48 Pagina 9 VAPORETTO ECO CARE WINDOW SQUEEGEE TOOL (18, 19, 20) Warning: in particularly cold weather, pre-heat the windows by applying steam from a distance of about 20 In (50 cm) from the surface to be cleaned. The window squeegee tool allows you to clean effectively and rapidly all glass surfaces without using detergents. [. . . ]
