In choosing your Vaporetto Lecoaspira, you were thinking of the hygiene of your home and of the health of your family, because Vaporetto Lecoaspira allows you to clean most surfaces with the pure power that steam provides. It dissolves and collects dirt and traps dust-mites and allergens in the water. Thanks to the unique EcoActive-Filter, after vacuuming you can pour away the dirty water without the risk of spreading dust everywhere. The air-filtering system is completed by the air outlet filter, which retains the fine particles, so that the output air is thoroughly cleaned. Thanks to the complete set of accessories, you will be able to tackle your cleaning problems, solving them effortlessly and saving time. The controls of the equipment are also available on the handle so that they are right there within easy reach, without having to bend down. With Vaporetto Lecoaspira you will be able to use steam and suction together for a complete clean, suction alone so as to collect all the dust efficiently, or steam alone for specific cleaning tasks. We strongly recommend reading this instruction booklet carefully before using the Vaporetto Lecoaspira. What is EcoActive-Filter? EcoActive-Filter is a revolutionary water filter patented by Polti. EcoActive-Filter uses the natural purifying property of water to capture the dirt, thus avoiding unpleasant contact with the dust and its harmful dispersion into the environment. It is precisely the flow of water contained in the special filter and its bubbling that make cleaning done with Vaporetto Lecoaspira so efficient. This unit conforms with EC-directives 89/336 as amended by 93/68 (EMC) and 73/23 as amended by 93/68 (low voltage).

Danger of burns! · Do not put any detergent or chemical substance in the boiler. Water by its nature contains magnesium, mineral salts and other deposits which in hard water areas can contribute to limescale build up in the tank. To avoid these problems, it is necessary to swill out with tapwater and empty the generator tank after every 3 or 4 uses.In very hard water areas we recommend the use of our KALSTOP FP 2003, a special natural-base decalcifier which inhibits and breaks down limescale, making it easy to remove just by swilling out the tank with a little tapwater. This is a preventive against lime 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. · When Refilling the generator boiler, use HOT rather than cold water, pour in gently at first and keep your face away. Otherwise the still hot boiler walls can spit drops of very hot water or steam spray. · Make sure the patented safety cap is fully and correctly screwed on, otherwise you may experience steam escaping from around the cap. Do not refill the boiler while it is still hot, allow it to cool down for a few minutes before refilling. Do not empy the appliance when the water in the boiler is still hot. Do not try to unscrew the safety cap when the appliance is in use. Check periodically the safety cap and its gasket, replace them with original spare parts if necessary.
