Steam Gun; Large Brush; Small Brush - POLTI VAPORETTO POCKET Usage Instructions

• When cleaning glass surfaces in particularly low
temperatures preheat the glass holding the hand
gun at minimum 50cm distance from the surface
to be cleaned.
• For the care of your plants vaporise at a mini-
mum distance of 50 centimetres.

STEAM GUN (2)

The handgun can be used directly, without connec-
ting the brushes, on all spots requiring a stronger,
closer treatment.
The more resistant the stain, the closer you should
hold the gun, the steam pressure and temperature
being higher at the source. You should however
always wipe with a dry cloth (or a slightly abrasive
sponge-if the spot is a difficult one to remove) after
using the gun.
The steam gun is particularly efficient at:
• breaking down rug and carpet stains before they
are treated with the large brush;
• cleaning stainless steel surfaces, panes, mirrors,
enamelled surfaces;
• cleaning hard-to-reach corners, such as stairs,
window sills, door posts;
• cleaning knobs of cookers, and water tap basis
• cleaning window shutters, heaters, car interiors;
• spraying plants (from a distance);
• removing odours and creases from clothes.
To reach higher points, the steam gun can be con-
nected to one or both extension tubes.

LARGE BRUSH (8)

To wash floors, put a clean, dry cloth under the bru-
sh and swing back and forth without applying any
pressure. Use the other side of the cloth when the
first one gets dirty. Use the brush directly without
the cloth on particularly dirty or incrusted areas and
in spaces between the tiles: swing the brush si-
deways to detach the dirt, then attach cloth to brush
to pick up the dirt . On difficult corners or obstinate
stains use the steam gun and then wipe the treated
surface with a cloth. On vertical washable surfaces,
wallpaper and ceilings, fasten a dry cloth on the
brush and proceed as for the floor. We advise to
use a sponge cover (e.g. an old bath towel)
Vaporetto is ideal for cleaning hygienically both
synthetic and wool rugs as well as for most types of
carpet. Move the brush towards your feet on the
surface without the cloth to loosen the dirt, then fa-
sten a cotton cloth to the brush, fixing it on the clips
(8A), then wipe again the surface to pick up the dirt
in the cloth.
Fold a cotton cloth over 2 or 3 times according to
the length and resistance of the pile. Move the bru-
sh rapidly on the pile without applying any pressure,
VAPORETTO POCKET
moving the brush to and fro and laterally without
concentrating for a long time in the same place. The
treatment can be repeated as frequently as you wi-
sh over time, as drying very quickly on most surfa-
ces. In case of particularly dirty or full of detergents
pile, do not insist for a long time; the results will be
evident after a number applications of Vaporetto
over time. Obstinate stains may require the direct
use of the handgun (from a distance of 5-10 cm)
prior to the above indicated treatment, then clean
the stain with a cloth.
To connect the small brush to the sheath or to
the extension tubes, it is necessary to connect
first the adapter for small accessories (5), after
which the accessory can be fitted directly onto
the adapter.
The small brush is used whenever the big brush is
too big or impractical to be used.
The small brush can be used for:
• furnishing fabrics (after testing on invisible parts-
see WARNINGS above at start of "TIPS FOR
BETTER UNIT PERFORMANCE". DO NOT USE
ON DRALON, VELVET OR OTHER SIMILAR PI-
LE OR DELICATE SURFACES.
• small window surfaces
• tiles and other small surfaces
To clean wood (doorposts, floors etc) do not point
the steam directly but cover the big or small brush
with a double-folded cotton cloth.
For furniture cleaning direct the steam jet onto a dry
cotton cloth, and then clean with the cloth. The
warm moisture on the cloth traps the dust, spots
and the static electricity so that the furniture stays
clean longer as there is no detergent film for new
dust to stick to..
The following two accessories can be applied to the

small brush:

12A – Cloth for small brush: Fit the cloth over the
small brush and clean the surfaces to be treated.
12B – Window-cleaning tool for small brush: Ap-
ply the tool to the small brush (without the cloth
(12A)) as shown in Figure 8. Window-cleaning is
carried out in two stages:
• Deliver of steam onto the surface to be cleaned,
by operating the steam delivery lever (4), to dis-
solve the dirt;
• Pass the window-cleaning tool over the surface to
remove the dirt, without delivering any more
steam.
