PREPARATION

1. Attach the appropriate accessory for the clea-

ning task at hand, as shown in fig. 1, until you

hear it click in place. When you connect up the

brush (7), the Vaporetto Turbo Mop will stand

up unaided. To release accessories press the

accessory release button (K) and pull off the

accessory.

2. To adjust the height of the handle (A), turn the

handle height-adjustment ring nut (L) while pul-

ling the handle. When you release the ring the

grip will lock in position.

3. Release the water tank (G) by pressing the two

tank release buttons (E) while pulling on the

tank (fig. 2).

4. Turn the water tank cap (G) anti-clockwise to

open, and fill the tank with demineralised water

(max 600 cc) (Fig. 3). In order to avoid limescale

build up, tap water must not be used.

Do not add other substances or additives to the

tank.

5. Close the cap (F) and put the tank back in its

housing, proceeding to perform the same ope-

rations as described above in reverse.

6. Plug the power lead (J) into a suitable socket

with an earth connection. Hook the power cable

to the anchor hook (M) so that it will not get in

the way while you are cleaning (fig. 4).

7. Position the microfibre cloth (2) on the brush (7).

To attach the cloth (2), just place it with the clea-

ning side resting on the floor, and place the

brush on top (7).

Warning: Do not use the appliance without

the cloth.

The appliance will be ready to produce steam

only 15 SECONDS after you turn it on.

9. When you grasp the grip with the on/off sensor

(A) as shown in fig. 5 the appliance will start to

produce steam. If you take your hand off the grip

steam will no longer be produced.

NOTE: Do not rest the grip on a metal and/or

magnetic surface as this may accidentally trig-

ger steam production.

10.If cleaning particularly dirty surfaces you may

use the turbo function, holding down the “turbo

steam” button (C).

WARNING: when you use the turbo steam function

a blend of water and steam is produced, so be very

careful to check that the surfaces you are cleaning

are not too delicate for this. In any case do not con-

tinue using the turbo function for a long time. The

turbo function will be automatically deactivated af-

ter 2 minutes of non-stop use.

PRECAUTIONS FOR DELICATE

SURFACES

• Before treating leather, special fabrics and wood

surfaces, consult the manufacturer’s instructions

and always carry out a test on a hidden part or on

a sample of the material. Allow the steamed part

to dry to make sure that no changes in colour or

deformations have occurred.

• Please pay careful attention when cleaning woo-

den and treated terracotta flooring as prolonged

use of steam may damage the wax, polish or co-

lour of the surfaces to be cleaned. We therefore

recommend adjustment the steam to minimum (if

your appliance has steam adjustment) and never

direct the jet of steam directly on the surface, but

cover the brush with a cloth. Do not keep

spraying steam in the same place.

• Also on particularly delicate surfaces (e.g.

synthetic materials, lacquered surfaces etc.) it is

recommended to always cover the brushes with a

cloth.

PRACTICAL ADVICE FOR THE USE

OF THE ACCESSORIES

BIG BRUSH (7)

• Per pulire i pavimenti, posare la spazzola su un

panno in microfibra (2) e passare avanti e indie-

tro senza premere.

The microfiber cloth (2) is designed specifically

for the brush (7) and need not be held in place

with the hooks (8), but you can use a different

cloth by hooking it to the brush, opening the two

cloth retainer hooks (8), folding the cloth and an-

choring it in place with the hooks as shown in fig.

• When treating washable vertical surfaces or cei-

ling-mounted light fixtures, cover the brush with a

dry cloth and then proceed as for the floor.

• On all kinds of synthetic or wool carpeting on

floors and walls and on rugs of all kinds, Vapo-

retto guarantees optimal hygiene and restores

the original appearance by brightening up co-

lours.

• When cleaning rugs and carpets, place the brush

with the cloth hooked onto it in the appropriate

attachment (6) so that it can slide over the sur-

face (fig.7).

BRISTLE INSERT (4)

The bristle insert is recommended for removing dirt

that has built up on very narrow surfaces, roller

blinds, gaps between tiles, bathroom fixtures, etc.

CONCENTRATED STEAM INSERT (5)

The concentrated steam insert may be used to

direct the jet of steam into hard-to-reach corners

which you cannot clean with the brush. This very

useful, irreplaceable accessory is perfect for clea-

ning radiators, door and window frames, bathroom

fixtures and shutters.

CARE OF YOUR APPLIANCE

• Before carrying out any maintenance on the

device, always unplug it from the power mains

making sure that the product has cooled down

before proceeding.

• To clean the body of the appliance, simply use a

moist cloth.

CLEANING THE CLOTH (2)

After every use, we recommend washing the micro-

fibre cloth following the instructions on the label.

Let the cloth dry before using it again.

CLEANING THE WATER TANK (G)

Clean the water tank as follows:

• Remove the tank from the appliance as descri-

bed in the section on “preparation”.

• Unscrew the cap on the bottom of the tank and

remove it from the tank (fig. 8A).

• Remove the silicone tube from the cap and the

dipping point (fig. 8B).

ENGLISH

VT TURBO MOP - M0S10720- 1T07_vers7:FEV 1000-950.qxd 12/09/2013 15.55 Pagina 16

• Remove the cap from the filter (fig. 8C).

• Rinse all components in running water and elimi-

nate any lime scale residues.

• Reassemble all components in reverse order

from that described above, being sure to screw

the cap onto the bottom of the tank properly so

that the tank cannot leak water.

NOTE: Use the cap off the top of the tank (F) only

when filling the tank with water, not the cap from the

bottom of the tank, which is for maintenance purpo-

ses only.

CLEANING THE STEAM PIPES

If the appliance does not seem to be working pro-

perly or generates less steam, you need to clean

the steam pipes.

AUTOMATIC CLEANING

• Connect up the appliance as described in the

section on “PREPARATION”.

• Leave the ON/OFF switch (B) in the OFF posi-

tion.

• Hold down the ”turbo steam” button (C). After 5

seconds the appliance will automatically go into

“automatic cleaning” mode. Hold down the but-

ton (C) for at least 1 minute. Release the button

to finish cleaning (C).

WARNING: during this operation the appliance will

generate steam mixed with water, so you should

not perform this operation on a delicate surface

which may be damaged.

MANUAL CLEANING

WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE PRODUCT

IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SUP-

PLY.

You may clean the steam ducts on the appliance

and its accessories with the nozzle cleaning pin (3)
