User manual POLTI MONDIAL VAP 3000

[. . . ] In case of breakdown or malfunction do not attempt to repair the appliance yourself but refer to your nearest authorised Service Centre. In case of a reduction in steam emission strength, have the clean state of the generator's level sensor checked at the nearest Polti authorised Service Centre. The electrical system the appliance is connected to must be realised in accordance with the current rules. We recommend the presence of a differential magnetothermic switch, with sensibility equal to 30 mA, at the source of the power socket or of the electrical system. [. . . ] We recommend the use only of liquid detergent (non-foaming). Check that the tanks are full of water and detergent. Check that the detergent tank is connected (tube is properly inserted in the connection) fig. Connect MONDIALVAP 3000 to the mains (220/240V 50Hz). Switch on the mains supply switch (O-I) and check that the indicator light comes on. Switch on the starter switch (B) and check that the green indicator light (D) comes on (the elements start to heat the water). Heating will commence and continue until the pressure gauge reaches 5 bar (about 10 mins. ). At 5 bar the pressostat will switch off the heating elements and the green light (D) goes out, indicating that the machine is now ready for use. Switch on the steam on-off and detergent switch (C). Start the steam flow using the switch on the handle (S). By switching on the other switch (T) on the handle you can release detergent together with the steam. F I L L I N G T H E G E N E R AT O R When the water in the generator reaches minimum level, the level sensor automatically draws water from the reservoir by operating a pump, refilling the generator. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM Apart from the two security systems (pressostat and safety valve) there is also a thermostat (which is manually re-armable) which will intervene to protect the machine in case of any electrical malfunction. The rearming of the thermostat can only be done by a Polti Authorised Service Centre. The switches for the electrovalve for steam output and for the detergent pump are both low voltage (12V). S T E A M R E G U L AT I O N F E AT U R E MONDIALVAP 3000 is equipped with a steam regulator control (H). You can use this control to increase the steam flow by turning it in an anti-clockwise direction. Turning the control in a clockwise direction reduces the steam flow. PRESSURE LEVEL GAUGE MONDIALVAP 3000 is equipped with a visual pressure level gauge (F). CONNECTION OF ACCESSORIES To connect the accessories tools to the hand gun (R) proceed as follows (fig. 6): Move the connector button (6) on the accessory to the "open" position. Attach the required tool to the hand gun (R). Move the connector button (6) back to the position "closed". Check that the connector button has engaged and the accessory is fully connected. ENGLISH TIPS FOR BETTER UNIT PERFORMANCE - For cleaning leather, wood or delicate fabrics especially dralon, velvet and other pile surfaces, consult the manufacturers instructions. Clean only by using the hand gun at a safe distance together with a soft cloth and always do a test on a non visible part of the item first or on a sample. Allow the test area to dry completely before observing results and effects on surface or colour before proceeding to clean further areas, ensuring that exactly the same distance and technique are applied as for the test area. - For cleaning wood surfaces (furniture, doors, etc. ) take great care as too long an application of the steam could alter the waxed appearance, the shine or the colour of the surfaces cleaned. [. . . ] To clean the body of the appliance, simply use a moist cloth. Do not use solvents or detergents which may harm the body material. Position an empty container under the machine, take the hose (Q) out from its storage (P). Lift upwards the spring muff which covers the boiler cock (W) and with an hexagonal tube spanner of size 10 turn the opening device anti-clockwise. [. . . ]
