POLTI S.p. A. reserves the right to make the aesthetic, technical and construction changes it deems necessary, without prior notice. Before leaving our factory all our products are rigorously tested. This is the reason why your Polti Vaporetto may contain some residual water in the boiler.

WHICH WATER TO USE

Polti Vaporetto SV has been designed to function with normal medium tap water between 8°f and 20°f. If the tap water contains a lot of limescale use a mix composed of 50% tap water and 50% demineralised water which is widely available to purchase.

check the hardness of the water at the technical office at your local council or the local water supplier.

Never use distilled water, rain water or water containing additives (e.g. starch, perfumes), or water produced by other domestic appliances, by water softeners or filter jugs. Do not add chemical, natural, detergent, or limescale removing substances, etc.

Polti Vaporetto SV is a practical appliance which includes two products in one, because it can be used as a steam mop/floor cleaner and as portable steam cleaner. Ideal for floors, rugs, tile grouting, cleaning bathroom fixtures, kitchen worktops, barbecue.

OTHER GENERAL USES

Before cleaning the surface, always do a test on a hidden part and see how it reacts to the application of steam.

1. BRIGHTENING UP CURTAINS AND DRAPES
   Mites and dust can be removed from curtains and drapes by steaming the fabric with just the handle. The steam is able to remove odours and brighten up colours, allowing the fabric to be washed less frequently. For this surface, set the steam to the Minimum level.
2. REMOVING STAINS FROM CARPETS AND UPHOLSTERY
   
   
   Steam. Risk of scalding!
   Connect the lance, direct the steam directly onto the stain with the greatest angle possible (never vertically to the surface to be cleaned) and place a cloth beyond the stain to collect the dirt that has been "blown" away by the steam pressure.
   For this surface, set the steam to the Minimum level.
3. TAKING CARE OF PLANTS AND HUMIDIFYING ROOMS
   To take care of your house plants, remove the dust from the leaves using just the handle, vacuuming the surface: adjust the steam to the Minimum level and vacuum at a distance of 50 cm. Plants breathe better and will be cleaner and brighter. The steam can also be used to refresh rooms, especially those frequented by smokers: steam the room by directing the jet towards the ceiling and distributing evenly.

OUT OF WATER

The water level is always visible thanks to the transparent tank.
When the water inside the tank has been used up, steam will stop being released. To restart operations just fill the water tank again as described in PREPARATION OF THE APPLIANCE section.

This operation must always be done after having disconnected the appliance from the mains.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Ensure that the appliance is switched off and disconnected from the mains.
To clean the outside of the appliance, only use a damp cloth and tap water.
