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. This is an important and indispensable safety device, and it is necessary to follow certain procedures when re-filling the tank.

CAUTIONS · 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. 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 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. 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 (on machines with steam variation control) with the steam set at low level.
