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. 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 book carefully before using Va- 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 2004/108/CE (EMC) and 2006/95/CE (low voltage). Polti S.p.A. reserves the right to change equipment or accessory specification without prior notice. 51 ENGLISH poretto Lecoaspira.

HOT, not cold water. Pour in gradually and gently at first and keep your face and other exposed skin well away. Otherwise the still hot boiler walls may 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. Check periodically the safety cap and MAKE SURE the rubber gasket is in place around the base of the screw thread. Replace with original spare parts if necessary. DO NOT USE STEAM FUNCTION if the rubber gasket is not in position. If you iron sitting down, do not place your legs under the ironing board, the steam can cause burns. Iron only on heat resistant surfaces and on surfaces that allow the steam to escape e.g. MESH ironing boards. For iron rest mat replacement use only original spare parts.

ATTENTION: 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 boiler. To avoid these problems, it is necessary to swill out with tapwater and empty the generator boiler after every 3 or 4 uses. In hard water areas we recommend the use of KALSTOP, a special natural-base decalcifier which inhibits and breaks down limescale, making it easy to remove just by swilling out the boiler with a little tapwater. This is a preventive against lime scale build-up and protects the metal walls of the boiler. KALSTOP is available from Polti dealers or by mail-order from your Polti Service Centre. · We recommend only using original Polti products as other products may not be suitable for use with Polti appliances and may cause serious damage. · Never use distilled water or scented water. · Do not try to unscrew the safety cap or empty the appliance whilst water in the boiler is still hot. · Do not refill the boiler while it is still hot.
