the appliance will start to produce steam. If you take your hand off the
grip steam will no longer be produced.
NOTE: Do not rest the grip on a metal and/or magnetic surface as this
may accidentally trigger steam production.
9. If cleaning particularly dirty surfaces you may use the turbo function,
holding down the “turbo steam” button (C).
CAUTION: when you use the turbo steam function a blend of water and
steam is produced, so be very careful to check that the surfaces you are
cleaning are not too delicate for this. In any case do not continue using
the turbo function for a long time. The turbo function will be automatical-
ly deactivated after 2 minutes of non-stop use.

PRECAUTIONS
•Before treating leather, particular types of fabric and wooden surfaces,
consult the manufacturer’s instructions and always test treat a hidden
corner or a sample of the material. Let the steam-treated part dry and
check that there has been no change of colour or deformation.
•Be particularly careful when cleaning wooden surfaces (furniture,
doors, etc.) as excessive use of steam could damage the wax, polish or
paint on the surface. Apply steam to surfaces of this kind only for brief
intervals, or spray steam onto a cloth and then clean them with the
cloth.
• When cleaning particularly delicate surfaces (such as synthetic mate-
rials, lacquered surfaces, etc.), we suggest you always cover the brush
with a cloth.
• To clean plants, spray from a distance of at least 50 cm.
BIG BRUSH (8)
To clean floors, put the brush on a microfiber cloth (2) and wipe back and
forth without applying pressure.
The microfiber cloth (2) is designed specifically for the brush (8) and
need not be held in place with the hooks (9), but you can use a different
cloth by hooking it to the brush, opening the two cloth retainer hooks (9),
folding the cloth and anchoring it in place with the hooks as shown in fig.
6.
When treating washable vertical surfaces or ceiling-mounted light fixtu-
res, cover the brush with a dry cloth and then proceed as for the floor.
On all kinds of synthetic or wool carpeting on floors and walls and on
rugs of all kinds, Vaporetto guarantees optimal hygiene and restores the
original appearance by brightening up colours.
When cleaning rugs and carpets, place the brush with the cloth hooked
onto it in the appropriate attachment (7) so that it can slide over the sur-
face (fig.7).
BRISTLE INSERT (5)
The bristle insert is recommended for removing dirt that has built up on
very narrow surfaces, roller blinds, gaps between tiles, bathroom fixtu-
res, etc.
CONCENTRATED STEAM INSERT (6)
The concentrated steam insert may be used to direct the jet of steam into
hard-to-reach corners which you cannot clean with the brush. This very
useful, irreplaceable accessory is perfect for cleaning radiators, door and
window frames, bathroom fixtures and shutters.

• Always unplug the appliance before performing any maintenance ope-
rations on it.
• Clean the outside of the appliance with a damp cloth.
CLEANING THE CLOTH (2)
We recommend that you wash the microfiber cloth with soap or deter-
gent after every use. Let the cloth dry before using it again.
CLEANING THE WATER TANK (G)
Clean the water tank as follows:
•Remove the tank from the appliance as described in the section on
“preparation”.
•Unscrew the cap on the bottom of the tank and remove it from the tank
(fig. 8).
•Remove the silicone tube from the cap and the dipping point (fig. 9).
•Remove the cap from the filter (fig. 10).
•Rinse all components in running water and eliminate any lime scale
residues.
•Reassemble all components in reverse order from that described
above, being sure to screw the cap onto the bottom of the tank proper-
ly so that the tank cannot leak water.
NOTE: Use the cap off the top of the tank (F) only when filling the tank
with water, not the cap from the bottom of the tank, which is for mainte-
nance purposes only.
CLEANING THE STEAM PIPES
If the appliance does not seem to be working properly or generates less
steam, you need to clean the steam pipes.
AUTOMATIC CLEANING
•Connect up the appliance as described in the section on “PREPARA-
TION”.
•Leave the ON/OFF switch (B) in the OFF position.
•Hold down the ”turbo steam” button (C). After 5 seconds the appliance
will automatically go into “automatic cleaning” mode. Hold down the
button (C) for at least 1 minute. Release the button to finish cleaning
(C).
CAUTION: during this operation the appliance will generate steam
mixed with water, so you should not perform this operation on a delicate
surface which may be damaged.
MANUAL CLEANING
DO NOT PLUG IN THE APPLIANCE
You may clean the steam ducts on the appliance and its accessories with
the nozzle cleaning pin (4) as shown in figure 11.
STORING THE APPLIANCE.
•Put the power cable and accessories in the accessory holder \ support
for storing the appliance (3).
