Connection Of Accessories - POLTI VAPORETTO ECO CARE Manual De Instrucciones

4a. 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.4b). Should the hose be left unattended
for a moment whilst the appliance is
connected to the electrical outlet, it is
recommended to put the safety switch in the
"OFF" position. To start working, set the (2A)
switch to the "ON" position and press the
steam button (Fig.4a).
The first burst of steam may contain some water
droplets, due to imperfect thermic stabilization
inside the flexible hose. We would therefore
advise that the first jet of steam is sprayed 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 means the machine is
maintaining the correct and constant pressure
and is quite normal.
STEAM REGULATION FEATURE
VAPORETTOs are equipped with a steam
regulation control (I) (Fig. 5). You can increase
the steam flow by turning the control in
clockwise direction. Turning it in an anti-
clockwise direction reduces the steam flow.
Here are some suggestions for the choice of
steam flow level:
• Strong steam: for encrusted dirt, stains, grease
and for sanitizing.
• Normal steam: for carpets, rugs, glass, tiles
etc.
• Delicate steam: for vaporizing plants and
cleaning delicate surfaces.

PATENTED SAFETY CAP /
''WATER OUT''
Steam may cause serious injury if in
contact with body parts. Always allow the
steamer to cool down before handling.
The appliance is equipped with a patented safe-
ty cap, which prevents opening of the generator
boiler tank as long as there is any pressure re-
maining inside. This is an important and indis-
pensable safety device, and it is necessary to
follow the procedure here below when re-filling
the boiler tank.
When you have used up all the water in the tank,
proceed as follows:
1c. Switch off the machine at the generator
on/off switch (B)
2c. Press the steam request lever (3) on the
steam gun (2) or, if using the professional
iron, the steam request button (R) on the
professional iron (Q) so as to fully exhaust
the steam supply from the tank.
3c. Switch OFF the accessory on/off switch (C).
4c. Disconnect the power supply cable (F) from
the electrical outlet.
5c. Unscrew anti-clockwise the patented safety
cap (A)
6c. Wait at least for 5 minutes to allow the boiler
tank to cool down.
7c. When cool proceed to carefully refill the
boiler tank as described in paragraph 1 of
the section "Preparation for Use". If refilling
the generator when not completely cooled,
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 and face whilst filling
