patented safety cap (A) is fully and correctly screwed on, otherwise
you may experience steam escaping from around the cap.
3. Connect the power supply cable (F) into an earthed power supply of
the correct voltage.
WARNING: Do NOT under any circumstances put or leave the filler fun-
nel in the water filling aperture of the appliance when the appliance is
connected to the mains electricity supply. Danger of burns!

1a. Press the generator on/off switch (B) and the accessories on/off
switch (C) which will light up.
2a. Open the cover of the central connector block (D) and insert the con-
nector assembly (4) pressing the connector button (5) taking care that
the locking tab (6) is correctly positioned in the lock-in aperture (E) on
the block (Fig. 3).
3a.Wait for the generator on/off switch (B) to go out. VAPORETTO
is now ready for use.
4a. The steam gun (2) is equipped with a safety switch (2A) which pre-
vents 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 (Fig.4b). Should the hose be left unattended for a
moment whilst the appliance is connected to the mains, it is recom-
mended to put the safety switch in the “OFF” position. To start wor-
king, set the (2A) button to the “ON” position and press the steam but-
ton (Fig.4a).
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.
Note: The generator on/off switch (B) may go on and off from time to
time during use of VAPORETTO. This indicates the machine is main-
taining the correct and constant pressure and is quite normal.

Some VAPORETTO models come equipped with a steam regulator con-
trol (I) (Fig 5). You can use this control to increase the steam flow by tur-
ning in an anti-clockwise direction. Turning the control in a clockwise di-
rection reduces the steam flow. Here are some suggestions for the
choice of steam flow level:
Strong steam: For encrusted dirt, stains, sanitising, grease
Normal steam: For carpets, rugs, glass, tiles etc.
Delicate steam: For vaporising plants and cleaning delicate fabrics,
upholstery, wallpaper etc.

The appliance is equipped with a safety cap, which prevents opening of
the boiler as long as there is any pressure remaining inside. This is an
important and indispensable safety device, and it is necessary to follow
certain procedures when re-filling the boiler. Whenever you have used
up all the water in the boiler, proceed as follows:
1c.Switch off the machine at the generator on/off switch (B)
2c.Press the steam request button (3) on the steam gun (2) or, if using
the iron, the steam request button (R) on the iron (Q) so as to fully
exhaust the steam supply from the boiler.
3c.Switch OFF the accessory on/off switch (C).
4c.Disconnect the power supply cable (F) from the mains.
5c.Unscrew anti-clockwise the patented safety cap (A)
6c.Wait for a few minutes to allow the boiler to cool down.
7c.When cool, proceed to carefully refill the boiler as described in para-
graph 1 of the section “Preparation for Use”. If refilling the boiler when
not completely cooled, we recommend that you carefully pour only
very small quantities of water at each pouring into the boiler, so as to
avoid spitting from the boiler and cover exposed skin whilst filling.

1d. Connect the connector assembly at the end of the iron hose (4) to
the generator as shown in point 2a of the section “Instruction for Use”.
Before ironing a garment, it is always advisable to check the symbols
appearing on the label and the instructions provided by the garment
manufacturer.
STEAM IRONING
2d. For steam ironing, set the temperature regulation control (S) to the
position “COTTON - LINEN”.
3d.Wait for a few minutes until the “Iron heating” indicator (V) goes out,
to show that the soleplate of the iron has reached the required tem-
perature.
4d.Press the steam request button on the iron (R) to allow the steam to
exit. Release this button to stop the steam flow. At the first request,
steam may contain some water drops and we recommend therefore
that the first jet of steam is played onto an old cloth, and is not direc-
ted onto the garment to be ironed.
5d.The iron can also be used in a vertical position e.g. for removing crea-
ses from curtain, clothing etc.
6d.In order to have a continuous steam jet, move the button (U) for-
wards. Steam will keep on coming out, even releasing the button (R).
To interrupt the outlet, move the button (U) backwards.
DRY IRONING
7d.For dry ironing, press the accessory on/off switch (C), regulate the
temperature of the iron by turning the temperature regulation control
(S) to the required temperature for the fabric shown on the control
itself.
IMPORTANT
•If you iron sitting down, do not place your legs under the ironing board,
the steam can cause burns.
•Iron only on heat resistant surfaces and on surfaces that allow the
steam to escape e.g. mesh ironing boards.
•For iron rest mat replacement use only original spare parts.
•Check that the continuous steam request button (U) is switched off
before connecting the appliance to the mains.

WARNINGS
•For cleaning leather, wood or delicate fabrics especially dralon, vel-
vet and other pile surfaces, consult the manufacturer 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. If in doubt, and on sensitive surfaces like
fabrics, leather and wood it is always better to ask advice from your
steam cleaner dealer.
•For cleaning wood surfaces (furniture, doors etc.) 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 recom-
mend you to 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.
•On delicate surfaces (e.g. synthetic materials, lacquered surfaces
etc.) we recommend that the small brush should always be covered
with at least two cloths to reduce the intensity of the steam, and 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 centime-
tres.
STEAM GUN (2)
The steam gun can be used directly on all spots requiring a stronger, clo-
ser treatment without connecting the brushes. The more resistant the
stain, the closer you should hold the gun, the steam pressure and tem-
perature 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 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.
LARGE BRUSH (8)
To wash floors, put a clean, dry kitchen cloth under the brush and swing
back and forth without applying 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 procedu-
res apply to ceilings and vertical surfaces, like wallpaper: in this case the
cloth can easily be fastened around the brush and held in place by the 4
clips (9) on the brush itself. Smooth cotton cloths are suitable for the tre-
atment of glass surfaces: fasten the cloth around the brush then pass it
