User manual POLTI VAPORETTO GENIE

[. . . ] ⷠDo not introduce any detergent or chemical substance into the generator tank. If your tap water is very hard, please use our special decalcifier TP 2000 PROGRESSO CASA with natural basis. Do not use in any event distilled water or descaler. ⷠDo not refill the tank while it is still hot, allow it to cool down for a few minutes before refilling. [. . . ] 4 which prevents the accidental start of the steam jet by children or people who do not know how to operate the appliance. with the switch 2A in the "OFF" position , the lever controlling the steam jet is locked. Should the hose be left unattended for a moment whilst the appliON F ance is connected to the mains, it is recommended to OF put the safety switch in the "OFF" position. The first burst of steam may contain some water droplets, due to imperfect thermic stabilisation inside the flexible hose. We would therefore advise that the first jet of steam is played onto an old cloth until a constant pressure of steam is obtained. Should the hose be submitted to an excessive torsion during the use, the No-Volt device will stop the steam flux. in order to restore the output , just press the steam request lever. Note: The on/off switch (B) may go on and off from time to time during use of VAPORETTO. This indicates the machine maintaining the correct and constant pressure and is quite normal. Move the connector button (11) back to the position `closed' 4b. All POLTI machines are equipped with the unique Polti patented safety cap, which prevents opening of the generator tank as long as there is any pressure remaining inside the tank. ) take great care as a too long application of the steam could alter the waxed appearance, the shine or the colour of the surfaces cleaned. We therefore recommend you apply the steam on such surfaces only for brief periods or to clean these surfaces using a cloth first held in the steam. ⷠPlease pay particular attention while cleaning brick floors: a too long application of steam could damage wax, brightness or colour of these surfaces. ) we recommend that the small brush should always be covered with at least two cloths to reduce the intensity of the steam, and (on machines with steam variation control) with the steam set at low level. ⷠIf cleaning glass surfaces in particularly low temperatures preheat the glass using the hand gun from about 50 centimetres distance from the surface to be cleaned. ⷠFor care of your plants vaporise at a minimum distance of 50 centimetres. STEAM GUN (2) The steam gun can be used directly on all spots requiring a stronger, closer treatment without connecting the brushes. 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 ovens, refrigerators and freezers (quick defrost) cleaning stove knobs, or tap - bases; - 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 connected to one or both extension tubes. [. . . ] For cleaning furniture spray the steam onto a dry cotton cloth then wipe with the cloth. The warm moist cloth will pick up dirt and static, so that the furniture remains cleaner longer thanks to the absence of sticky film from chemical cleaning products. 120° STEAM NOZZLE (16) The 120° nozzle (which can be connected directly to the gun or together with the extension tubes) allows you to concentrate a powerful jet of steam to otherwise inaccessible locations, such as radiators, door posts, sills and shutters, as well as for sterilising toilet bowls. Before attempting any maintenance operation, be sure to always disconnect the appliance from the mains · To maintain efficient performance, we recommend emptying and flushing out the generator with tap water at least once a month; this operation flushes away the scale deposits inside the generator.
