Should the hose be left unattended for a moment whilst the appliON F ance is connected to the mains, it is recommended to OF put the safety switch in the "OFF" position. 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. Should the hose be submitted to an excessive torsion during the use, the No-Volt device will stop the steam flux. Note: The on/off switch (B) may go on and off from time to time during use of VAPORETTO. This indicates the machine maintaining the correct and constant pressure and is quite normal. 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. According to model, `water out' is indicated by a warning light (J), or by an audible alarm signal from the machine, or on more basic models by the exhaustion of the steam output. The steam gun is particularly efficient at: - breaking down rug and carpet stains before they are treated with the large brush; - cleaning stainless steel surfaces, panes, mirrors, enamelled surfaces; - cleaning hard-to-reach corners, such as stairs, window sills, door posts; - cleaning ovens, refrigerators and freezers (quick defrost) cleaning stove knobs, or tap - bases; - cleaning window shutters, heaters, car interiors; - spraying plants (from a distance); - removing odours and creases from clothes. To reach higher points, the steam gun can be connected to one or both extension tubes. LARGE BRUSH (8) Use the large brush (8) with one or two extension tubes (7) on all large washable surfaces. To wash floors, put a clean, dry kitchen cloth under the brush and swing back and forth without applying any pressure. Use the other side of the cloth when the first one is impregnated with dirt. Use the brush directly without the cloth on particularly dirty or incrusted areas and in spaces between the tiles: swing the brush sideways to detach the dirt. Highly obstinate stains may require a steam gun treatment before the brush and cloth are used (an old bath towel is an ideal cloth) . The same procedures apply to ceilings and vertical surfaces, like wallpaper: in this case the cloth can easily be fastened around the brush and held in place by the 4 clips (9) on the brush itself. Smooth cotton cloths are suitable for the treatment of glass surfaces: fasten the cloth around the brush then pass it over the window pane (or mirror) to remove the greasy film. Finally, spray the surface with the steam gun and wipe dry with a clean cloth. In cold weather, window panes will require pre-heating with the steam gun (from a distance of 10/15 cm), prior to the actual cleaning with the brush. [. . . ] It can be connected to the steam gun with one or two extension tubes (7) . For cleaning furniture spray the steam onto a dry cotton cloth then wipe with the cloth. The warm moist cloth will pick up dirt and static, so that the furniture remains cleaner longer thanks to the absence of sticky film from chemical cleaning products. 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.
