SV420_Frescovapor and SV400_Hygiene are
the practical steam brooms which make it
possible to wash and sanitise the floors of
your home practically and safely. They can be
used on floors with different finishes (tiles,
stoneware, marble, parquet, etc.) and also bri-
ghten rugs and carpet thanks to the special
accessory included.
Tests performed by third party, independent
laboratory certify that the Polti steam brooms
kill and remove 99.9% of germs and bacteria if
used based on the instructions included in
this manual with the microfibre cloth moun-
ted and for a continuous operating time of 30
seconds.
1. PREPARING FOR USE
1.1 Remove the appliance from the packaging,
checking that the product is intact and that all
the parts are present.
1.2 Connect the appliance to the brush, mat-
ching the hole on the brush with the pin on
the appliance (1).
1.3 Insert the hose with the handle into the
specific opening on the appliance (2A),
making sure that the pin on the hose lines up
with the hole on the appliance. To remove it,
press the button located on the tank (2B) and
pull upward.
1.4 Remove the water tank from the appliance,
pressing the upper button and pulling it
outward (3).
Open the cap of the tank by pulling it outward
(4), then fill the tank with water.
Do not add other substances or additives to
the tank.
Close the cap of the tank and reattach it to
the appliance.
This operation must always be carried out
with the power cable disconnected from the
mains.
1.5 The SV420 model has a dispenser, located
behind the floor brush, to be used exclusively
with FrescoVapor, the natural deodorant that,
besides leaving a pleasant fragrance, also
captures bad smells. To use FrescoVapor, pro-
ceed as described in Chapter 5.
1.6 Unwind the power cable completely and
connect it to an appropriate socket (5) that is
earthed.
Always use the product with the cable com-
pletely unwound.
BROOMS
The power indicator light will come on (red).
Wait until the "steam ready" indicator light
comes on (around 15 sec., green). At this
point the appliance is ready.
Before starting the steam cleaning, it is good
practice to have previously swept or vacuu-
med the floor or the surface to be cleaned.
2. STEAM ADJUSTMENT
only for the SV420 model
You can optimise the steam flow by means of
the steam adjustment knob (7). You can in-
crease the steam flow by turning the control
in a clockwise direction. Turning it in an anti-
clockwise direction reduces the steam flow.
Here are some suggestions for the choice of
steam flow level:
•Maximum level: to remove limescale, stains,
grease; to clean resistant floors.
•Medium level: to clean floors and clean and
brighten rugs and carpet;
•Minimum level: to clean parquet and lamina-
te floors.
3. CLEANING FLOORS
Before using the appliance on delicate surfa-
ces, ensure that the part in contact with the
surface is free from foreign bodies that
could cause scratches.
Before starting the steam cleaning, it is good
practice to have previously swept or vacuu-
med the floor.
Ensure that Chapter 1 has been followed.
3.1 Attach the supplied cloth to the floor bru-
sh. To make it easier to attach, the cloth has
an easy lock/release system to avoid having
to bend over and use your hands. Just place
the cleaning side of the cloth on the floor and
rest the brush on top (6).
3.2 On the SV420 model the intensity of the
steam can be adjusted (7): for hard and resi-
stant floors or with encrusted dirt adjust to
the maximum level; for regular daily cleaning
on the medium level; for delicate floors such
as parquet or laminate adjust it to the mini-
mum level.
3.3 Release the appliance brush by tilting it
backward and using a foot, then press the
steam button (8) on the handle, and begin
cleaning moving the broom back and forth. To
stop the steam flow, release the steam button.
