Using The Accessories - POLTI VAPORETTO GO Instructions Manual

NOTE: the pressure light (E) turns on and off during
use. This indicates that the electric resistance is
operating to keep constant pressure and is therefo-
re quite normal.
ATTENTION: if pressing the steam request lever
(1A) when the appliance is still pressurised, even if
off and disconnected from the mains, steam may in
any case be released from the flexible hose. As
such, before turning the appliance off and putting it
away, please first press the lever (1A) until the
steam flow ceases.
ADJUSTMENT STEAM
Vaporetto enables the flow of steam desired to be
optimised by turning the adjustment knob (G) (Fig.
5). To increase the flow turn the dial anti-clockwise.
Turning it in a clockwise direction reduces the flow.
Here are some tips for regulating it:
• Strong steam: to remove scaling, stains, grease
and to sanitise;
• Normal steam: for carpets, rugs, glass, floors;
• Gentle steam: to steam plants, clean delicate fa-
brics, wall coverings, sofas, etc.

USING THE ACCESSORIES

• To attach the extension hoses (2), brush (3) and
the adapter (4) to the handle, simply insert one
into the other and push until you hear the click
indicating that the accessory block button is in
place (1D) (Fig. 7).
• To release the accessory, just hold the button
down (1D) and separate the components (Fig. 7).
• Before using the accessories check that they
firmly connected.
ATTENTION: to connect accessories (5-6-7-8-9-10-
11) the adaptor must be attached first (4).
Once the reducer is attached, connected the acces-
sory chosen, aligning the arrows on them (Fig. 11),
then turn it clockwise (Fig. 12).
SAFETY CAP / LACK OF WATER
This appliance is equipped with a safety cap which
prevents the boiler being opened even accidentally,
until minimum pressure is reached inside.
Therefore, to be able to unscrew it, it is necessary
to perform specific operations which are described
below:
Every time you want to open the safety cap, pro-
ceed as follows:
• Switch off the appliance using the ON/OFF swit-
ch (C).
VAPORETTO go
• Unplug from the mains electricity (N).
• Dispense steam until it is gone, using the steam
control lever (1A) on the steam gun (1C).
• Wait a few minutes to allow the boiler to cool.
• Unscrew the safety cap (A) anticlockwise.
• Refill it by following the description in Point 1 of
the PREPARATION paragraph. When filling the
tank hot, we recommend doing it with small
amounts of water in order to avoid instantaneous
evaporation of the water.
ACCESSORY HOLDER BASE
In the Vaporetto GO, the smaller accessories are
housed in the base (M). In order to access them,
press the lever (O) (Fig. 8) and at the same time lift
the upper part of the equipment.
PRACTICAL ADVICE FOR THE USE
• Before treating leather, special fabrics and wood
surfaces, consult the manufacturer's instructions
and always carry out a test on a hidden part or on
a sample of the material. Allow the steamed part
to dry to make sure that no changes in colour or
deformations have occurred.
• Please pay careful attention when cleaning woo-
den surfaces (furniture, doors, etc.). and treated
terracotta flooring as prolonged use of steam
may damage the wax, polish or colour of the sur-
faces to be cleaned. We therefore recommend
only steaming these surfaces for short periods of
time, or cleaning using a previously steamed
cloth.
• On particularly delicate surfaces (e.g. synthetic
materials, lacquered surfaces etc.) it is recom-
mended to always cover the brushes with a cloth.
• To clean glass surfaces in particularly cold sea-
sons, preheat the windows holding the steam
gun at a distance of about 50 cm from the surfa-
ce.
• To take care of your plants, we recommend
spraying them from a minimum distance of 50
cm.
Without inserting the brushes, just the steam gun
can be used for particular cleaning, using steam
and close range or not, depending on the type of
material and the nature of the dirt to be cleaned.
The more stubborn the dirt, the closer the steam
