General Maintenance - POLTI Vaporetto HANDY_PURE Manual De Instrucciones

For this surface, set the steam to level mini-
mum.
11.2 REMOVING STAINS FROM CARPETS AND
UPHOLSTERY
WARNING: Steam.
Risk of scalding!
Connect the lance, direct the steam directly on-
to the stain with the greatest angle possible (ne-
ver vertically with respect to the surface to be
cleaned) and place a cloth beyond the stain to col-
lect the dirt that has been "blown" away by the
steam pressure.
For this surface, set the steam to level minimum.
11.3 TAKING CARE OF PLANTS AND HUMI-
DIFYING ROOMS
To care for your house plants, remove the du-
st from the leaves using the steam. Steam the
surface directly from the handle, at a mini-
mum distance of 50 cm, adjust the steam to
the minimum level.
Plants breathe better and will be cleaner and
brighter. Furthermore, you can also use the
steam to refresh spaces, especially those fre-
quented by smokers.
12. OUT OF WATER
When the product no longer dispenses steam,
it means that there is no water in the boiler.
WARNING: Never fill the boiler as soon as the
safety cap is opened. The boiler is still hot,
even if the appliance is unplugged. On con-
tact with the hot, empty boiler, cold water will
evaporate producing a spray of steam which
could cause burns. Only fill the boiler when it
is cold and always keep your face away from
the boiler opening when filling.
WARNING: Steam.
Risk of scalding!
To continue with use, proceed as follows:
• Unplug from the mains electricity.
• Act on the steam request lever until steam
flow ceases.
• Wait 10 minutes and remove the safety cap,
unscrewing it without force.
• Leave the appliance to cool for at least 10
minutes.
• Filling the boiler as indicated on chapter 1.
• Carefully screw the safety cap back on,
checking that it is completely closed.
WARNING: If, during unscrewing, the cap
spins freely or if steam is escaping, immedia-
tely stop the operation, ensuring that the
boiler is switched off and the power cable is
unplugged from the mains. Wait for the ap-
pliance to cool (two hour) and unscrew the
cap before removal. TAKE CARE OF YOUR
FACE !!!

13. GENERAL MAINTENANCE

To clean the outside of the appliance, only use
a damp cloth and tap water. All accessories
can be cleaned using running water, ensuring
they are completely dry before the next use.
After using the brushes, we recommend let-
ting the bristles cool down in their natural po-
sition, in order to avoid any deformation.
Do not use detergents of any type.
Regularly check the status of the coloured
washer located in the connector assembly. If
necessary, replace with the appropriate spare
part, as described below.
- Remove the damaged washer.
- Insert the new washer, attaching it on the
steam nozzle and pushing it into place.
- Lubricate the gasket with silicone grease
or Vaseline, or alternatively with small
quantities of vegetable oils.
Carry out the same inspection on the connec-
tion seals of the handle of the flexible hose,
the extension hoses and the accessory adap-
ter.
Every 2 months, rinse the boiler with tap water.
14. KALSTOP optional
Kalstop is thelimescale product for applian-
ces with boiler for ironing and steam cleaning.
Regular use of Kalstop, every time the tank is
filled with water:
- Extends the life of the appliance.
- Allows emission of a "drier" steam
- Prevents limescale build up.
- Protects the walls of the boiler.
- Contributes to saving energy.
