Steam Gun - POLTI Vaporetto Eco Care Instrucciones Para El Uso

• Please pay particular attention while cleaning
brick floors: a too long application of steam could
damage wax, brightness or colour of these surfa-
ces.
• For delicate surfaces (e.g. synthetic materials,
lacquered surfaces etc.) we recommend to
always cover the small brush 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. Always test first on a
non-visible area, allow to dry thoroughly, and if
successful, be sure to use exactly the same tool,
technique, steam level and steam jet distance.
• If cleaning glass surfaces in particularly low tem-
peratures preheat the glass using the hand gun
from about 20 In (50 cm) distance from the sur-
face to be cleaned.
• For care of your plants vaporise at a minimum di-
stance of 20 In (50 cm).

STEAM GUN (2)

The steam gun can be used directly on all spots re-
quiring a stronger, closer treatment without con-
necting the brushes. The more resistant the stain,
the closer you should hold the gun, the steam pres-
sure and temperature being higher at the source.
Always wipe with a dry cloth (or a slightly abrasive
sponge if the spot is a difficult one to remove) after
using the gun. 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 cooking top knobs, taps 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 con-
nected to one or both extension tubes.
LARGE BRUSH (8)
To clean floors, put a clean, dry kitchen cloth under
the brush and swing back and forth without ap-
plying any pressure. Use the other side of the cloth
when the first one is impregnated with dirt. Use the
brush directly without the cloth on particularly dirty
or incrusted areas and in spaces between the tiles:
swing the brush sideways to detach the dirt. Highly
obstinate stains may require a steam gun treatment
before the brush and cloth are used (an old bath
towel is an ideal cloth) . The same procedures ap-
ply to ceilings and vertical surfaces, like wallpaper.
The cloth can easily be fastened around the brush

and held in place by the 4 clips (9) on the brush it-
self. Smooth cotton cloths are suitable for the treat-
ment of glass surfaces: fasten the cloth around the
brush then pass it over the window pane (or mirror)
to remove the greasy film. Finally, spray the surface
with the steam gun and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
In cold weather, window panes will require pre-hea-
ting with the steam gun (from a distance of 20 In
(50 cm)), prior to the actual cleaning with the the
brush. VAPORETTO is ideal for both syntetic and
wool rugs as well as for all types of carpets. Its use
ensures total hygiene, revives colours and restores
the original brilliance of the pile. Drying occurs
practically at once. Fold a cotton cloth over 2 or 3 ti-
mes (according to the length and resistance of the
pile) and fasten it onto the brush. Move the brush
rapidly in all directions without applying any pres-
sure. You should avoid lingering in the same place,
as this may soak the area. Particularly dirty rugs
may need several treatments. Obstinate stains may
require the use of the steam gun (from a distance of
2-4 In (5-10 cm)) prior to treatment.
SMALL BRUSH (12)
The small brush is used whenever the big brush is
too big or not practical to be used.
The small brush can be connected directly to the
steam gun or to the extension tubes. The small
brush can be used on:
• furnishing fabrics (after testing on a small hidden
area)
• car linings (not pile surfaces), car windows (not
in freezing temperatures)
• small window surfaces
• tile and other small surfaces
To clean wood ( doorposts , floors etc) do not apply
the steam directly but cover the brush (big or small)
with a doubled cotton cloth. For furniture cleaning,
direct the steam jet onto a dry cotton cloth, and
then start the cleaning. The warm moisture on the
cloth traps the dust, spots and the static electricity
so that the furniture stays clean longer.
120° STEAM NOZZLE (16)
The 120° nozzle (which can be connected directly
to the gun or together with the extension tubes) al-
lows you to concentrate a powerful jet of steam to
otherwise inaccessible locations, such as radiators,
door posts, sills and shutters, as well as for sterili-
sing toilet bowls. It's a very useful and indispensa-
ble tool.
