INFORMATION FOR USERS
Pursuant to European Directive 2012/19/EU,
regarding electric and electronic appliances,
this appliance must not be disposed of with
domestic waste, but sent to an official collec-
tion facility. This appliance complies with EU
Directive 2011/65/EU
The crossed-out bin symbol on the
appliance indicates that, at the end
of its useful lifespan, the product
must be disposed of separately from
other waste. Therefore, at the end of its life,
the user must handover the appliance to an
appropriate collection centre for electric and
electronic waste. Proper separate waste col-
lection to facilitate the subsequent recycling,
treatment and environmentally compatible
disposal of the appliance helps to prevent ne-
gative effects on the environment and human
health, and promotes recycling of the mate-
rials the product is made of. Unlawful disposal
by the owner involves the application of the
administrative sanctions envisaged by current
legislation.
Polti S.p.A. reserves the right to change
equipment or accessory specification without
prior notice.
Before leaving our factory all our products are
rigorously tested. This is the reason why your
VAPORETTO may contain some residual wa-
ter in the boiler.
WHICH WATER TO USE IN THE
BOILER
This appliance has been designed to function
with normal medium tap water between 8°F
appliance
exposed
and 20°F. If the tap water contains a lot of li-
mescale use a mix composed of 50% tap wa-
ter and 50% demineralised water which is wi-
dely available to purchase. Do not use pure
demineralised water.
Warning: check the hardness of the water at
the technical office at your local council or
the local water supplier.
If you only use tap water, you can reduce the
to
formation of limescale by using the special
Kalstop limescale product, distributed by Pol-
ti, and available for sale at all major domestic-
appliance stores and online at www.polti.com.
Never use distilled water, rain water or water
containing additives (e.g. starch, perfumes),
or water produced by other domestic ap-
pliances, by water softeners or filter jugs.
Do not use chemical substances or deter-
gents.
PREPARING FOR USE
• Turn the tank cap (F) (Fig.1) and fill the tank
completely with water, making sure it does
not overflow, using the special funnel (13)
(Fig.2).
• Close the tank cap (F) (Fig.1).
• Plug the power cable (G) into a suitable
earthed outlet.
USE
• Press the ON/OFF switch (B).
• Wait until the steam ready indicator light (C)
comes on. Vaporetto is now ready for use.
• The steam sprayer (2) has a safety button
(4) that prevents accidental activation of
the steam delivery system by a child or
other persons unaware of how the device
works.
When the button (4) is set to "OFF" the le-
ver commanding steam is locked (fig.4).
To start using steam, set the button (4) to
"ON" and work the steam lever (3).
Should you have to leave the appliance unat-
tended, turn it off, unplug it and position the
button (4) in the OFF position.
The first time you use the appliance, a few
drops of water may come out because the
temperature has not stabilised perfectly in-
side the sheath. We recommend you direct
the first jet of steam onto a cloth, until the jet
of steam is uniform.
