LO- GIN will appear on the display.

2.5 Insert a card into the appropriate slot (9).

2.6 The following information will appear:

“HEATING” will flash to indicate that the de- vice is in the heating stage, while IDXX repre- sents the number of the card inserted. Once the correct pressure has been achieved, the word “READY” will appear, indicating that the device is ready for use.

After completing LOGIN , the following prompts will appear on the display:

• “Prog:__”: use the keypad to type the 2- digit number for the programme you wish to use, and press OK. There are ten programmes with pre-set times: 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 10, while programme 00 is free. To choose which programme to use, refer to section 3.1 - 3.2.

WARNING: Do not screw the Polti HPMed

bottle to the gun without the stopper. If no consumption of Polti HPMed is seen during use of the product, this means that the stop- per has not been inserted correctly, or has folded within the bottle. Unscrew the bottle and repeat the insertion procedure, taking care to position it correctly.

WARNING: Do not remove the CARD from

the slot during use.

WARNING: When the level of Polti HPMed

contained in the disposable bottle falls be- low the minimum level indicated on the la- bel, replace it with a new bottle. Once the disposable bottle is opened and inserted in the dispenser, use it within the following 7 days and replace it with a new one. Do not refill the disposable bottle.26 return to the previous menu for selecting the programme.

3.1 FREE PROGRAMME 00

Programme 00 is a free programme, the user can use it to dispense steam from a minimum of 3 seconds to a maximum of 3,600 seconds (1 hour).

3.2 PRE-SET PROGRAMMES

01 / 02 / 03 04 / 05 / 06 / 07 / 08 / 09 / 10 These ten programmes vary on the basis of the pre-set steam dispensing time:

The spacer stand can be used in the open (A) or closed (B) position depending on the treat- ment to be carried out. You can also use the spacer stand in the middle position to rest the gun (C). The safety button on the gun prevents acci- dental activation of the steam supply. When the steam is not used, move the safety button to the stop position (11). To resume dispens- ing, return the button to its initial position (12). To dispense steam, press the trigger on the gun. Treatment: dispense "non-usable" steam for 2 seconds and, without interrupting the flow, position the jet perpendicular to the surface or fabric. Refer to the Protocol for Use for the treatment of surfaces and fabrics. Wait for rapid and spontaneous drying. Dry- ing times depend on the environmental con- ditions (temperature and humidity), on cor- rect use and on the nature and temperature of the surfaces. Complete drying with a dis- posable cloth only if strictly necessary.

Flow concentrators are used to treat hard-to- reach places or where a concentrated steam jet is needed.

Straight flow concentrator : for a concen- trated jet, often used to treat drain pipes and grates.

Curved flow concentrator : to reach difficult and / or inaccessible points, e.g. toilets. To connect the concentrator, match the ac- cessory to the dispenser and rotate it until it locks.

6. PRINTING THE RECEIPT

Once the prompt “PRINT?” appears on the display and the indicator light (10) comes on, two operations are possible:

, the receipt will be printed with the message “PROG: OK” if the cycle was completed correctly. If the cycle was interrupted by the user performing LO- GOUT or in the event of the device mal- functioning, the receipt will not be printed.

• If you press CANC , the receipt will not be printed but the information will be retained in the memory. Then, when LOGOUT is per- formed, all the information on the work car- ried out will be summarised and printed on a single receipt.

WARNING: Dispense "non-usable" steam for

about 30 seconds downwards to reach the optimum operating temperature and pres- sure. At the first use after switching on the appliance, some drops of water may be mixed with the steam due to imperfect ther- mal stabilization

WARNING: For additional safety, test steam

delivery on a hidden part, leave the steamed part to dry to ensure that no changes in colour or deformations have occurred.

WARNING: When using the concentrator

accessory it is necessary to detach the Polti HPMed disposable bottle and connect the empty bottle supplied. For programmes 01-10, the receipt can be printed either at the end of the pre-set time (depending on the programme selected) or during or at the end of the extra time. ENGLISH27 ENGLISH

7. END OF OPERATIONS / LOGOUT

Once operations have been completed, per- form LOGOUT by keeping the CANC button held down for 4 seconds. At this point, the re- ceipt summarising all the operations carried out between LOGIN and LOGOUT will be printed. The device will then return to its initial config- uration and require a LOGIN

LOGIN again, it is necessary to remove the card inserted in the slot before inserting a card again. To end operations, switch the machine off us- ing the main switch.
