2. Carefully screw on the safety cap to hand tight
(Fig. 2). Make sure the 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 funnel in the water filling aperture
of the appliance when the appliance is connected
to the mains electricity supply. Danger of burns!
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
1a. Press down the generator on/off switch (B) and
the accessories on/off switch (C) wich will light
up together with the steam pressure indicator
light (K).
2a. Open the cover of the central connector block
(D) and insert the central connector (4) press-
ing the connector button (5) and taking care
that the locking tab (6) is correctly positioned in
the lock-in aperture (E) on the block (Fig. 3).
3a. When the steam pressure indicator light (K)
goes off, the steam cleaner is ready for use
4a. The steam gun (2) is equipped with a safety
switch (2A) which prevents the accidental start
of the steam jet by children or people who do
not knows 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 mo-
ment whilst the appliance is connected to the
mains, it is recommended to put the safety
switch in the "OFF" position. To start working,
set the (2A) switch to the "ON" position and
press the steam button (Fig.4a).
The first burst of steam may contain some water
droplets, due to imperfect thermic stabilisation in-
side 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 steam pressure indicator light (K) may
go on and off from time to time during use of VA-
PORETTO. This indicates the machine maintains
the correct and constant pressure and is quite nor-
mal.

STEAM REGULATION FEATURE
VAPORETTO is equipped with a steam flow regula-
tor control (I) (Fig. 5). You can increase the steam
flow by turning the control in an anti-clockwise di-
rection. Turning it in a clockwise direction reduces
the steam flow. Here are some suggestions for the
choice of steam flow level:
• Strong steam: for encrusted dirt, stains, sanitis-
ing, grease.
• Normal steam: for carpets, rugs, glass, tiles etc.
• Delicate steam: for vaporising plants and clean-
ing delicate fabrics, upholstery, wallpaper etc.
Please read separate warning about use on dray-
lon, velvet and other delicate fabrics, or on sensi-
tive wood surfaces.
