A, reserves the right without prior notice to introduce technical and construction changes as it considers necessary. [. . . ] In very hard water areas we recommend the use of our KALSTOP FP 2003, a special natural-base decalcifier which inhibits and b reaks down limescale, making it easy to remove just by swilling out the tank with a little tapwater. This is a preventive against scale build-up and protects the metal walls of the steam generator tank. KALSTOP is available from Polti dealers or by mail-order from your Polti Service Centre. €¢ We recommend you use original Polti products only, as products of other brands may not be suitable for use in Polti products and could cause damage. €¢ Make sure the patented safety cap is fully and correctly screwed on, patented safety cap (A) is fully and correctly screwed on, otherwise you may experience steam escaping from around the cap. 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 in the water filling aperture of the appliance when the appliance is connected to the mains electricity supply. Press 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 connector assembly (4) pressing the connector button (5) taking care that the locking tab (6) is correctly positioned in the lock-in aperture (E) on the block (Fig. 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) button 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 indicates the machine is maintaining the correct and constant pressure and is quite normal. s T E A M R E G U L AT I O N F E AT U R E Some VAPORETTO models come equipped with a steam regulator control (I) (Fig 5). 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 Normal steam: For carpets, rugs, glass, tiles etc. delicate steam: For vaporising plants and cleaning delicate fabrics , upholstery , wallpaper etc. CONNECTION OF THE ACCESSORIES All the accessories of VAPORETTO can be connected to the handle or to the extension tubes as follows (fig. [. . . ] The treatment can be repeated as frequently as you wish, with no damage whatsoever. Fold a cotton cloth over 2 or 3 times (according to the length and resistance of the pile) and fasten it onto the brush. Move the brush rapidly in all directions without applying any pressure. You should avoid lingering in the same place, as this may soak the area. [. . . ]
