1. Unscrew the patented safety cap (A) and fill
the boiler with about 2 litres of water using
the filler bottle (14) making sure that it does
not overflow (fig. 1). Normal tapwater can
be used. However, as hard water by its na-
ture contains limestone, which may cause a
build-up of limescale in the tank, in hard
water areas we recommend the use of our
natural-base decalcifier KALSTOP, availa-
ble from your Polti dealer or by mail order
from your Polti service Centre.
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 esca-
ping from around the cap.
3. Connect the power supply cable (F) into an
earthed power supply of the correct vol-
tage.
WARNING: Do NOT under any circumstances
put or leave the filler bottle in the water filling
aperture of the appliance when the appliance is
connected to the mains electricity supply. Dan-
ger of burns!
Always make sure generator on/off switch (B)
is switched OFF before connecting the ap-
pliance to the mains.

1a. Press down the generator on/off switch (B)
and the accessories on/off switch (C) which
will light up.
2a. Open the cover of the central connector
block (D) and insert the central connector
(4) pressing the connector button (5) and
taking care that the locking tab (6) is correc-
tly positioned in the lock-in aperture (E) on
the block (Fig. 3).
3a. When the generator on/off switch (B) goes
out, the steam cleaner is ready for use
4a. The steam gun (2) is equipped with a sa-
fety switch (2A) which prevents the acci-
dental start of the steam jet by children or
people who do not know 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 moment whilst the ap-
pliance is connected to the mains, it is re-
commended 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 wa-
ter droplets, due to imperfect thermic stabilisa-
tion inside the flexible hose. We would the-
refore advise that the first jet of steam is played
onto an old cloth until a constant pressure of
steam is obtained.
Note: The generator on/off switch (B) may go
