[. . . ] S T E A M R E G U L AT I O N F E AT U R E Your VAPORETTO is equipped with a steam regulator control (I) (Fig. You can use this control to increase the steam flow by turning in an anti-clockwise direction. Here are some suggestions for the choice of steam flow level: Strong steam: For encrusted dirt, stains, sanitising, grease 32 Normal steam: For carpets, rugs, glass, tiles etc. Delicate steam: For vaporising plants and cleaning delicate fabrics, upholstery, wallpaper etc. 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 tube as per the following instructions (fig. Move the connector button (11) on the accessory to the "open" position. Check that the connector button has engaged and the accessory is fully connected. PAT E N T E D S A F E T Y C A P / ' WAT E R O U T ' All POLTI machines are equipped with the unique Polti patented safety cap, which prevents opening of the generator tank as long as there is any pressure remaining inside the tank. This is an important and indispensable safety device, and it is necessary to follow certain procedures when re-filling the tank. Whenever you have used up all the water in the tank, follow the following procedures: 1c. Press the steam request lever (3) on the hand gun (2) or, if using the iron, the steam request button (R) on the iron (Q) so as to fully exhaust the steam supply from the tank. When cool proceed to carefully refill the tank as described in paragraph 1 of the section "Preparation for Use" in the instructions. If refilling the generator when not completely cooled, we recommend that you carefully pour only very small quantities of water at each pouring into the tank, so as to avoid spitting from the tank and cover exposed skin whilst filling. USE OF THE PROFESSIONAL P R E S S I N G I R O N (normally sold separately) 1d. Connect the connector block at the end of the iron hose (4) to the generator as shown in point 2a of the section "Instruction for Use". For all steam ironing, position the temperature ENGLISH VA P O R E T T O E C O L O G I C A L indicator dial (F) to the position "COTONE LINO". For dry ironing set the temperature control dial according to the fabric to be ironed as indicated on the dial. Wait three to four minutes for the indicator (R) to go out indicating that the sole plate of the iron has reached the correct temperature. Press the steam request button on the iron (R) to allow the steam to exit. At first you may find that the steam contains some water globules and we recommend that the first jet of steam is therefore played onto an old cloth, and is not directed onto the garment to be ironed. In order to have a continuous steam jet, move the button (U) forwards. [. . . ] Your glass wilI remain cleaner longer thanks to the absence of layers of film normally left behind by chemical cleaning products on which new dust and grease can attach itself. Cleaning glass is done in two stages: - Spraying the steam onto the surface to be cleaned to loosen the dirt (not touching with blade). - Pulling the blade straight down the window surface from top to bottom without applying the steam, to take away the dirt. - To clean especially large glass surfaces, attach the Window Squeegee Tool to the extension tubes.
