2. Carefully screw on the patented safety cap to
hand tight (Fig. 2). Make sure the patented sa-
fety cap (A) is fully and correctly screwed on,
otherwise you may experience steam escaping
from around the cap.
3. 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. Danger of burns!
Always make sure generator on/off switch (B) is
switched OFF before connecting the appliance to
the mains.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
1a. Press down the generator on/off switch (B) and
the accessories on/off switch (C) which will light
up.
2a. Open the cover of the central connector block
(D) and insert the central connector (4) pres-
sing the connector button (5) and taking care
that the locking tab (6) is correctly positioned in
the lock-in aperture (E) on the block (Fig. 3).
3a. When the generator on/off switch (B) goes out,
the steam cleaner is ready for use
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 mains, 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 stabilisation in-
side 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 VAPO-
RETTO. This means the machine is maintaining the
correct and constant pressure and is quite normal.
STEAM REGULATION FEATURE
VAPORETTOs are equipped with a steam regula-
tion 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 sanitising.
• Normal steam: for carpets, rugs, glass, tiles etc.
• Delicate steam: for vaporising plants and clea-
ning delicate surfaces.
Please read separate warning about use on dray-
lon, velvet and other delicate fabrics, or on sensi-
tive wood surfaces.
CONNECTION OF ACCESSORIES
All the accessories of VAPORETTO can be con-
nected to the handle or to the extension tubes as
per the following instructions (fig. 6):
1b. Move the locking button (11) on the accessory
to the "open" position.
2b. Attach the required accessory to the hand gun
or to the extension tube.
3b. Move the locking button (11) back to the posi-
tion 'closed'.
4b. Check that the locking button has engaged and
the accessory is fully connected.
PATENTED SAFETY CAP / ''WATER
OUT''
The appliance is equipped with a patented safety
cap, which prevents opening of the generator tank
as long as there is any pressure remaining inside.
This is an important and indispensable safety de-
vice, and it is necessary to follow the procedure
here below when re-filling the generator 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
mains.
5c. Unscrew anti-clockwise the patented safety
cap (A)
6c. Wait for a few minutes to allow the generator
tank to cool down.
7c. When cool proceed to carefully refill the tank as
described in paragraph 1 of the section "Prepa-
ration for Use". If refilling the generator when
not completely cooled, pour only very small
