User manual POLTI VTT.1000

[. . . ] The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter "L" or coloured red. PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE USE · · Before using your VAPORETTO carefully read these usage instructions. Before connecting VAPORETTO to the mains make sure that the current is the same as that indicated for the machine and that the plug is an earthed plug. Water by its nature contains magnesium, mineral salts and other deposits which in hard water areas can contribute to limescale build up in the tank. To avoid these problems, it is necessary to swill out with tapwater and empty the generator tank after every 3 or 4 uses. In very hard water areas we recommend the use of our KALSTOP TP2000, a special natural-base decalcifier which inhibits and breaks down limescale, making it easy to remove just by swilling out the tank with a little tapwater. [. . . ] 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 use flow, 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. · · · · · · · · · · CONNECTION OF ACCESSORIES To connect the accessories tools to the hand gun proceed as follows (Fig. Move the connector button (8) on the accessory to the "open" position. Attach the required tool to the hand gun. CORRECT USE OF THE PRODUCT This appliance is intended for use as a steam generator as described and in accordance with the instructions provided in this manual. Please read these instructions carefully and keep them, as you may find them useful in future. 3b. 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. 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. When 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) so as to fully exhaust the steam supply from the tank. When cool proceed to carefully refill the tank as described in I M P O R TA N T Before leaving our factory all our products are rigorously tested. However, your VAPORETTO may contain some residual water in the boiler. SET UP Before using VAPORETTO for the first time assemble the pivoting wheels as indicated in the diagram. P R E PA R AT I O N F O R U S E 1. Unscrew the patented safety cap (A) and fill the generator with 1. 3 litres of water, using the filler funnel (11) (Fig. 1). ENGLISH VA P O R E T T O 1 0 0 0 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. 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. Vaporetto Ecological System is ideal for both synthetic and wool rugs as well as for all types of carpets. Its use will ensure total hygiene, revive colours and restore the original brilliance of the pile. [. . . ] If it is necessary to replace the power supply cable, please refer to the nearest Poltiauthorised service centre, since the use of a special tool is necessary. · · · POLTI DECLINES LIABILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE OR ACCIDENT DERIVED FROM ANY USE OF VAP0RETTO ECOLOGICAL SYSTEM WHICH IS NOT IN CONFORMITY WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED IN THIS BOOKLET. I N C R E A S E T H E V E R S AT I L I T Y O F VA P O R E T T O EVEN FURTHER WITH THE FOLLOWING OPTIONAL ADDITIONAL ACCESSORIES 120° STEAM NOZZLE (13) 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. ENGLISH VA P O R E T T O 1 0 0 0 WINDOW SQUEEGEE TOOL (15, 16, 17) The Window Squeegee Tool allows you to clean effectively and rapidly all glass surfaces without using detergents. 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.
