It dissolves and collects the dirt and traps dust-mites and allergens in the water. The self-filling system and the Super Power device cuts waiting times and eliminate stopping times for filling the boiler, as the steam is always powerful and constant. Thanks to the EcoActive-Filter, once you have finished your cleaning you will be able to pour away the dirty water with no danger of scattering dust everywhere. The air-filtering system is completed by the HEPA filter, which retains even the finest particles, so that the output air is thoroughly cleaned. Thanks to the complete set of accessories, you will be able to tackle all 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 the Vaporetto Lecosapira 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 the Super Power device? The Super Power device consists of a double resistor combined with a special pressure switch, making it possible to cut heating time and maintaining a stable working pressure, so as to ensure a large quantity of steam at a constant temperature. What is the EcoActive-Filter? The EcoActive-Filter is a revolutionary water-based filter. 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 the Vaporetto Lecoaspira 910 so efficient. What is the HEPA filter? The Vaporetto Lecosaspira has a special very powerful HEPA filter. It is already being used for professional applications in which hygiene is an essential requirement, and it is capable of retaining even the finest pollen, dust-mites and other micro-organisms. This unit conforms with EC-directives 89/336 as amended by 93/68 (EMC) and 73/23 as amended by 93/68 (low voltage).

Attach the required tool to the hand gun. Move the connector button (C) back to the position closed (C2). Check that the connector button has engaged and the accessory is fully connected. SUCTION OF SOLIDS AND LIQUIDS This appliance can be used to suck up dust or liquids equally easily. However, if the water in the filter is very dirty it should be replaced proceeding as described in the section on "Emptying and cleaning the water container". When the dirt sucked in reaches the maximum permitted level in the water container (25), suction is stopped automatically by the safety float provided for this purpose (you will notice that the engine speed has increased). Before resuming your cleaning operations proceed as illustrated in the section on "Emptying and cleaning the water container", and then top up the level of the water in the container. "BIOECOLOGICO" "Bioecologico" is available for sanitising while using the suction function. It is a scented antibacterial product with natural-based anti-allergenic substances. If it is added regularly to the water used to fill the water container (25) of the Vaporetto Lecoaspira, it will prevent the proliferation of bacteria and micro-organisms and inhibit the action of allergens. In addition to ensuring a sanitising action, "Biecologico" will eliminate smells due to the presence of dust in the water, leaving a pleasant smell of cleanness in the room. Use: Normally add 10 ml each time you fill the water-based filter. Bioecologico is sold in household appliance shops or direct from our authorised Assistance Centres. EMPTYING AND CLEANING THE WATER CONTAINER Switch off the appliance from the main switch (1) and disconnect the power cable from the mains plug. Pull the lid of the accessory holder upwards (22) as shown in Figure 2 so that it can be unhooked.

Take all the components apart and rinse them in running water.(if the filter sponge has any tears in it, it should be replaced. The filter can be purchased from an authorised Polti Assistance centre). Fig. 12 If you wish to continue working, top up the level of the water. Put the "EcoActiveFilter" (28) water-based filter assembly back into place, close the container handle (26) making sure that it is correctly positioned and reposition everything back into place inside the appliance. Put the lid of the accessory holder (22) back into position, making sure that the two levers on the lid match up with the two clasps on the appliance, rotating it until the lid hooks into place (22). Note: Make sure you empty the water container (25) before putting your Vaporetto Lecoaspira away. One of the great advantages of the Vaporetto Lecoaspira is precisely the fact that it is possible to put it away clean. The self-filling system means that it is possible to have the boiler always full while working, and when you have finished working the appliance can be put away without emptying either the boiler or the water tank. TIPS FOR USING THE ACCESSORIES Before treating leather, special fabrics (especially draylon and velvet) or wooden surfaces with steam, consult the manufacturers' instructions and always proceed only after carrying out a test on a hidden part or a sample. Allow the area treated with steam to dry and then check whether any changes in colour or deformations have occurred, before proceeding further, ensuring exactly the same steam power and distance as in the test. When cleaning wooden surfaces (furniture, doors, etc.), always proceed with caution since excessive use of steam could damage the wax, the polish or the colour of the surface to be cleaned. It is therefore advisable to apply the steam to these surfaces only for short periods at a time or to clean them with a cloth that has been treated with steam. On particularly delicate surfaces (e.g. synthetic materials, enamelled surfaces, etc.), we strongly recommend using the steam at its lowest output power. When cleaning glazed surfaces, if the weather is particularly cold pre-heat the glass working at distance of about 50 cm away from the surface. To take care of your plants, we recommend spraying them from a distance of at least 50 cm. UNIVERSAL BRUSH (E) Use of this brush is recommended for large surfaces such as ceramic or marble flooring, wooden flooring, carpets, etc.. - Bristled fitting (E2), when the suction function alone is required. - Liquid-suction fitting (E3), for removing moisture, suitable for smooth surfaces.

11 ENGLISH Vaporetto Lecoaspira Carpet fitting (E4), suitable for wall-to-wall carpeting and loose carpets. The universal brush can be connected to the flexible tube by means of the extension tubes (D) or it can be fitted directly onto the handle. Assembly of the universal brush: To apply the various different fittings to the universal brush, move the two slides (E1) on the rear of the brush outwards and apply the appropriate fitting for the type of surface to be cleaned. To lock the fitting into place move the two slides (E1) inwards. Do not apply steam directly to wooden surfaces. STEAM-SUCTION WINDOW-CLEANING FITTING (J) Use of this accessory is recommended on large windows, large mirrors and smooth surfaces in general. The steam-suction window-cleaning fitting (J) can be connected to the flexible tube by means of the extension (D) or it can be fitted directly onto the handle (A2). To use the steam-suction window-cleaning fitting correctly proceed as follows: - Release steam evenly onto the surface to be cleaned in order to dissolve the dirt. - Press the rubber wiper onto the surface to be cleaned, moving it from the top downwards with the suction function on. Warning: When the weather is particularly cold, pre-heat the windows by releasing steam from a distance of about 50 cm onto the surface to be treated. 120 STEAM-SUCTION ACCESSORY (K) Use of this accessory is recommended for concealed areas that are difficult to reach with other accessories, such as: - Treating stains on carpeting or loose carpets, before going over them with the brush; - Cleaning stainless steel, windows, mirrors, layered coatings and paintwork; - Cleaning corners such as stairs, window frames, door jambs, aluminium sections; - Cleaning the bases of taps; - Cleaning blinds, radiators, the interiors of cars; - Atomising house plants from a distance; - Removing smells and creases from cloths. The 120 accessory can also be fitted directly onto the handle (A2), or it can be connected to the flexible tube by means of the extension tubes (D). It is possible to combine the 120 accessory with the following other accessories: - small coloured brushes 120 (L), suitable for removing caked dirt from very small surfaces such as cooking rings, shutters, between tiles, sanitary fittings and so on. The different colours mean that you can always keep the same small brush for use on the same type of surface accessory upholstery nozzle (M), suitable for cleaning narrow surfaces such as between tiles, door jambs, the openings in shutters and so on. - Upholstery nozzle (Q), suitable for cleaning textile surfaces, such as the seams of sofas and armchairs, mattresses, car seats and so on.

13 ENGLISH Vaporetto Lecoaspira 910 USING THE IRON (optional accessory) - Connect the iron (B2) to the one-piece plug proceeding as shown in the "Operation" section. - When the optional professional strength pressing iron is used with the machine, in order to optimise electricity consumption and reduce the initial heating time of the water, the iron itself heats only to the first pressure level. - For steam-ironing, adjust the temperature of the iron by positioning the temperature-control knob (Y) to COTTON-LINEN. - Wait for a few minutes until the push-button lamp (X) extinguishes to show that the soleplate of the iron has reached the required temperature. - Press the steam-supply push-button (X) to enable the steam to come out. The steam flow will stop when the push-button is released. When you first start to use the iron a few drops of water may come out of the sole-plate mixed with the steam due to imperfect heat stabilisation. It is therefore advisable to direct the first jet of steam onto a rag. - In order to obtain a continuous jet of steam move the sliding switch (W1). The steam will continue to come out even when the sliding switch is released. To stop the flow of steam push the sliding switch backwards (W1). Important Note Never leave the iron unattended while it is on. Only iron on surfaces that withstand heat and that allow the steam to permeate through them. If you accidentally drop your iron, you should have it checked by an authorized Polti Service Centre because some internal malfunctionings might have occured, limiting the safety of the product. GENERAL MAINTENANCE Before carrying out any type of maintenance make sure that the power cable has been disconnected from the mains plug. After using the brushes it is advisable to allow the bristles to cool in their natural position so as to avoid them getting deformed in any way. Check the conditions of the gaskets located inside the one-piece plug (B2) periodically. If necessary replace them with the appropriate spares. Also carry out the same check on the gaskets for connecting the extension tubes (D) and the handle (A2). To clean the outside of the appliance just use a damp cloth. Do not use solvents or detergents as these might damage the plastic surface. Cleaning the "EcoActive-Filter" water-based filter We strongly recommend cleaning the "Eco-Active Filter" water-based filter each time you use it. Pull the lid of the accessory holder upwards as shown in Figure 2 so that it can be unhooked. Lift up the water container (25) and remove it from its compartment by the handle of the container (26) pushing the flap of the built-in socket (24) to one side as shown in Figure 3.

15 ENGLISH Vaporetto Lecoaspira 910 PRECAUTIONS FOR USING THE APPLIANCE Read these instructions for use carefully before using the Vaporetto Lecoaspira. Before connecting the Vaporetto Lecoaspira, make sure that the mains voltage is the same as the voltage indicated on the data label of the appliance and that the power outlet is connected to earth. Do not put any detergent or chemical substance in the tank. 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. This is a preventive against 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.
