This appliance complies with EU Directive 2011/65/EU The crossed-out bin symbol on the appli- ance indicates that, at the end of its use- ful lifespan, the product must be dis- posed of separately from other waste. Therefore, at the end of its life, the user should handover the appliance to an appropriate col- lection centre for electric and electronic waste or, in accordance with current national regula- tions, leave the used appliance with the distrib- utor when buying a new product to replace it. Proper separate waste collection to facilitate the subsequent recycling, treatment and envi- ronmentally compatible disposal of the appli- ance helps to prevent negative eects on the environment and human health and promotes recycling of the materials the product is made of. Unlawful disposal by the owner involves the application of the administrative penalties as required by current legislation.

Polti Vaporetto STYLE was designed to func- tion with normal medium-hardness tap water between 8° and 20°f. If the tap water contains a lot of calcium carbonate, use a mix com- posed of 50% tap water and 50% widely avail- able demineralised water.

Warning: check the hardness of the water at

the technical oce of your local council or the local water supplier. Periodically replace the limescale filter as shown in Chapter 18. Never use distilled water, rain water or water containing additives (e.g. starch, perfumes), or water produced by other domestic appli- ances, water softeners and filter jugs. Do not add chemicals, natural, detergent, or limescale removing substances, etc. POLTI VAPORETTO STYLE: 2PRODUCTS IN1 Polti Vaporetto STYLE is a practical appliance which includes two products in one because it can be used as a steam mop/floor cleaner and as a portable steam cleaner. It makes it possible to perform multiple cleaning functions and treat lots of dier- ent surfaces: floors with dierent finishes (tile, stoneware, marble, parquet), rugs and carpet, kitchen work surfaces, hood filters, bathrooms, taps, grout, windows and mir- rors, upholstery (sofas, armchairs, mattress- es, cushions, car interiors), interior doors and cabinet doors, radiators and rolling shutters, curtains and clothing, green plants.

13. OTHER GENERAL USES

WARNING: Before cleaning the surface,

always do a test on a hidden part and see how it reacts to the application of steam.

Mites and dust can be removed from curtains and drapes by steaming the fabric directly from the Portable Cleaner. The steam is able to remove odours and brighten up colours, al- lowing the fabric to be washed less frequently. For this surface, set the steam to the lowest level (MIN).

13.2 REMOVING STAINS FROM CARPETS

AND UPHOLSTERY ATTENTION: Steam. Risk of scalding! Direct the steam directly onto the mark with the greatest possible angle (never vertically to the surface to be treated) and position a cloth beyond the stain, in order to collect up the dirt that has been "blown" away by the steam pressure. For this surface, set the steam to the lowest level. (MIN).

13.3 TAKING CARE OF PLANTS AND HUMID-

IFYING ROOMS To care for your house plants, remove the dust from the leaves using the steam. Use the Portable Steam Cleaner with the flexible hose attached to easily direct the jet (to attach it see Chapter 3). Steam the surface at a mini- mum distance of 50 cm. Adjust the steam to the lowest level (MIN). Plants breathe better and will be cleaner and brighter. The steam can also be used to refresh spaces, especially those frequented by smokers: steam the room by directing the jet towards the ceiling and distributing evenly.

14. POLTI FRESCOVAPOR only for

This warranty is valid in the countries which adhere to European Directive 99/44/EC. For other countries, local regulations on warran- ties apply.

WHAT THE WARRANTY COVERS

During the warranty, Polti guarantees free repair of a product with a manufacturing or factory defect and, therefore, the client is not liable to pay for any work or materials. In case of irreparable defects, Polti may re- place the product free of charge. To avail of the warranty, the customer should visit one of the Polti Authorised Service Cen- tres with proof of purchase from the seller valid for tax purposes and bearing the date of purchase of the product. Without proof of purchase and the relative date of purchase, the work will be charged for. Store the proof of purchase document safely for the whole duration of the warranty.
