I M P O R TA N T Before leaving our factory all our products are rigorously tested. For this reason, your VAPORETTO may contain some residual water in the boiler from the testing. · Before turning on the product, fill the tank with water making sure that it does not overflow (Fig. 2) Never use distilled water or scented water. · Open the door on the socket block (I); insert the plug block (5), being careful to make sure that the connecting pin (6) is perfectly positioned in the retainer opening (L) on the socket (fig. · The steam gun (2) has a safety button (4) to prevent accidental dispensing of steam by children or people who don't know how to use the appliance. When the button (4) is set to "OFF" the lever commanding steam is locked (fig. 4). If you need to leave the sheath momentarily unsupervised while the appliance is turned on, set the safety switch to "OFF" (fig. 4). To start using steam, set the button (4) to "ON" and work the steam lever (3). The first time you use the appliance, a few drops of water may come out because the temperature has not stabilised perfectly inside the sheath. We recommend you direct the first jet of steam onto a cloth, until the jet of steam is uniform. NOTE: The steam ready indicator light (C) will go on and off which you are using your VAPORETTO. This indicates that the electrical resistance is working to keep pressure constant and should be considered normal.

L O W WAT E R L E V E L The automatic topping up system means it is no longer necessary to stop and wait before filling up the boiler again. [. . . ] To get rid of stubborn stains, treat them directly with the spray gun from a distance of 5 - 10 cm and wipe energetically with a cloth before proceeding with the treatment described above. S Q U E E G E E AT TA C H M E N T ( 1 0 ) Windows are washed in 2 stages: · steaming the surface to dissolve dirt, using the steam control lever (3); · wiping with the squeegee attachment (10) working from the top downwards, making sure the rubber wiper fits closely to the glass to remove dirt without releasing steam. The squeegee attachment (10) may also be used as a small steam brush for cleaning all areas where use of a large brush would be inconvenient. Just cover the squeegee attachment with a terry cloth cover (12) and use it to clean fabrics in the home (after testing on a hidden corner), upholstery, encrusted dirt. . . [. . . ]
