Dear Customer,

We would like to thank you for choosing this Polti appliance.

By choosing Lecologico, you have made an excellent choice for your home and for the health of your fam-

ily. Lecologico by Polti is eco-friendly and the enemy of dust, pollens, dust mites and their allergens. With

its EcoActive-Filter, Lecologico traps dust in water; then the dirty water is simply poured away - with no risk

of dispersing the dust into the air around you. When you’ve finished, you can put your Lecologico away

perfectly clean. With the Polti Lecologico you can sigh with relief indeed. Its 5-stage HEPA filter system en-

sures that the air coming out of the vacuum cleaner is perfectly clean. The EcoActive-Filter also does away

with the need for dusty bags and all the relative problems.

A complete set of accessories is provided to help you to carry out all cleaning jobs quickly and without ef-

fort.We suggest you read this instruction booklet carefully before using your Lecologico.

What is EcoActive-Filter?

EcoActive-Filter is the revolutionary “green” heart of Lecologico, because its effectiveness is based on the

natural purifying force of water. Just the water flow contained in the special filter and its bubbling imprison

dirt, preventing all contact with dust, and avoiding dispersal of dust back into the air.

What is the HEPA filter?

Lecologico has a special extra powerful washable HEPA filter, previously used only in professional applica-

tions requiring the utmost hygiene. This filter catches even the finest dust, pollens, dust mites and other

microorganisms and is easily rinsed clean when dirty.

Read these instructions carefully before using the appliance.

foaming inside the water filter thus ensuring correct

functioning of the appliance. When diluted inside

the dirt collection tank, Bioecologico also acts as an

pleasant smells inside the dirt collection tank and

releases a fresh clean fragrance into the environ-

ment.

• hold the bottle upright and squeeze 5 ml into the

dispenser. Stop squeezing and pour the con-

tents of the dispenser into the dirt container on

pliance.

every time you refill the dirt collection tank.
