CORRECT USE OF THE

PRODUCT

This appliance is intended for professional

use as a steam generator and liquid/damp

vacuum cleaner in accordance with the de-

scriptions and instructions provided in this

manual. Please read these instructions care-

fully and keep them for future reference.

Polti declines liability for any damage or

accident derived from any use of Mondial

Vap which is not in conformity with the

instructions contained in this booklet.

PREPARATION FOR USE

ASSEMBLING THE HANDLE (U) AND

BASKETS (V and Z)

• Insert the carrying handle (U) into the two

tubes to the side of the appliance and fa-

sten using the 4 screws (Y1) (Fig.1A).

• Attach the lower basket (V) and the upper

basket (Z) to the carrying handle (U) with

the screws (Y2), tightening them using the

appropriate hex wrench (provided)

(fig.1B).

ASSEMBLING THE SIDE BASKETS (T)

• Loosen the screws with the fastening knob

located on the side tanks.

• Align the holes present on the side ba-

skets to the screws with the knob and in-

sert the baskets (fig. 1C).

• Fasten the screws with the knob to pre-

vent the baskets from accidentally coming

loose.

N.B.: the basket (T) that has the opening for

lodging the extension tubes must be positio-

ned on the water tank (I) (fig. 1D). If inverted,

the baskets will not be in a perfect horizontal

position.

FILLING THE WATER (I) AND DETER-

GENT (J) TANK

• Open the cap and fill the water tank (I)

with normal tap water using the funnel (23)

(fig. 2).

Use water with a hardness of less than 5° F.

If the water from the mains supply is parti-

cularly hard, we recommend using a mix-

ture of 50% tap water and 50% deminera-

lised water.

To use tap water and avoid scale forma-

tion, we recommend the addition of the

special natural scale removal agent Kal-

stop FP2003. Quantity: we recommend

diluting one phial to 5 litres of water before

putting it in the tank.

• Replace the cap on the tank.

• Use the funnel (23) to fill the tank (J) with

the suitably diluted detergent.

• Replace the cap on the tank.

Use the two tubes at the tanks (fig. 12) to

view the level of liquid inside the tanks.

ATTENTION: never swap the contents of

the two tanks. It is important that the tank (I)

is always filled with water and not detergent.

Placing detergent in the water tank could

cause serious damage to the product.

Once the funnel has been used to fill the de-

tergent tank, rinse it under running water be-

fore reusing it to fill the water tank.

DETERGENT:

It is recommended to only use detergents

from the Polti HP007 PROFESSIONAL line

because they are specifically developed and

tested for using with Mondial Vap steam ap-

pliances.

Refer to the instructions on the product la-

bels for information on the correct dilutions

and on how to use the Polti HP007 PRO-

FESSIONAL products.

ATTENTION:

• Never use foaming or acid-based deter-

gents because they could damage the in-

ternal components of the appliance.

• Never use detergents containing muriatic

acid, ammonia or products classified as ir-

ritants because their volatility increases

when used with steam and, therefore,

could be harmful if inhaled.

• Any problems caused by the use of de-

tergents not conforming to those men-

MONDIAL VAP 4500

MONDIAL VAP 4500

ENGLISH

M.V.4500 M0S103740 1S11:Layout 1 24/01/2013 14.50 Pagina 19

NO WATER

The “no water” indicating light (F) will turn on

and an acoustic signal will sound when there

is no water in the water tank. Before conti-

nuing to work, fill the water tank as descri-

bed in the chapter “FILLING THE WATER (I)

AND DETERGENT (J) TANK.

NO DETERGENT

The “no detergent” indicating light will start

when there is no detergent.

To restore the detergent level, proceed as

described in the chapter “FILLING OF WA-

TER (I) AND DETERGENT (J) TANK.”

NO WATER IN BOILER

The boiler may run out of water if the refilling

system is not working properly. This type of

fault is signalled by the flashing of the indica-

ting light (F) and an acoustic signal.

If the problem persists, contact the technical

service centre.

STORING ACCESSORIES

The Mondial Vap accessories can be stored

in the side baskets (T) or in the handle ba-

skets (V and Z). The cord can be stored in a

side basket while the handle with the two ex-

tension tubes and brush attached can be

placed in the appropriate lodging, resting the

handle on the furrow present on the carrying

handle (U) and lodging the tube in the spe-

cial seat located inside the side basket (T)

(fig. 6).

There is a slot on the other side of the han-

dle in which the sheath tube can be positio-

ned, thereby avoiding its touching the

ground.

TIPS ON USING THE

ACCESSORIES

Before treating leather, special fabrics and

wooden surfaces with steam, consult the

manufacturer’s instructions and always carry

out a test on a hidden part or sample. Allow

the treated area to dry in order to check for

any changes in colour or deformations. Be

careful when cleaning wooden surfaces (fur-

niture, doors, etc.) and terracotta floors be-

cause excessive use of steam may damage

the wax, polish or colour of the surfaces to

be cleaned. It is recommended to steam

these surfaces only for short periods at a

time or to clean them with a cloth that has al-

ready been steamed. Use the lowest steam

setting on particularly delicate surfaces such

as synthetic materials, lacquered surfaces,

etc. If cleaning glass surfaces in particularly

cold weather, preheat the glass by starting to

spray at a distance of about 50 centimetres

from the surface. To care for your plants, it

is recommended to spray at a minimum di-

stance of 50 cm.

MULTI-PURPOSE BRUSH (10)

This brush is recommended for large surfa-

ces, ceramic floors, marble floors, parquet

floors and carpets, etc.

• Brush attachment (11) for vacuuming only.

• Liquid-vacuuming attachment (12) for re-

trieving liquids on smooth surfaces.

• Carpet attachment (13) for carpets and

rugs.

The multi-purpose brush can be connected

to the flexible hose via the extension tubes

(9) or can be attached directly to the handle.

Assembling the multi-purpose brush:

To apply the different attachments to the

multi-purpose brush, shift the two slides

(10a) located on the back of the brush out-

wards and apply the attachment suitable for

the type of surface to be cleaned. To lock the

attachment in place, shift the two slides

(10a) inwards.

ATTENTION: refer to the chapter “Tips on

using the accessories.”

120° ACCESSORY (15)

This accessory is recommended for hidden

areas with are hard to reach with other ac-

cessories such as:

lowing accessories:

• coloured 120° brushes (16) suitable for

removing grime from very narrow surfaces

such as gas rings, shutters, gaps between

tiles, toilet bowls, etc. The different colours

allow using the same brush on the same

surface.

• The steam nozzle (17) is for reaching

even the most hidden corners and is suita-

ble for cleaning radiators, door and win-

dow frames, bathroom fixtures and shut-

ters. To connect the nozzle to the 120°

vacuuming of hard-to-reach spots such as

skirting boards, folds in sofas, armchairs,

upholstered furniture, car seats.

SMALL VACUUM-STEAM

NOZZLE (19)

We suggest to use this accessory on large

windows, large mirrors and smooth sur-

faces, or to clean upholstery surfaces such

as sofas, mattresses, etc., using the follow-

ing attachments supplied with it:

ter thus ensuring a correct working of the ap-

pliance. Diluted inside the dirt collection

tank, Bioecologico also acts as an effective

deodoriser while the appliance is running,

and thanks to its composition which contains

Tea Tree and other natural substances, it

prevents bad smells inside the dirt collection

tank and releases a fresh clean fragrance in

the environment.

Use:

• shake the bottle before use and remove

the lid;

• hold the bottle upright and squeeze 5 ml

into the dispenser. Stop squeezing and

pour the contents of the dispenser into the

dirt container of the appliance;

• add water according to the instructions of

the appliance.

• use the recommended quantity of Bioeco-

logico at any refill of the dirt collection

tank.

• recommended quantity: 5 ml

Note: a possible change in colour of the liq-

uid does not alter the functional character

and the efficiency of the product.

Do not swallow. Keep out of the reach of

children.

Bioecologico is available in pine or citrus

scents.

*May cause allergic reaction (in direct con-

tact with the skin).

KALSTOP

Water by its nature contains magnesium, mi-

neral salts and other deposits which in hard

water areas can contribute to limescale build

up in the tank. In very hard water areas we

recommend the use of our Kalstop FP2003,

a special natural-base decalcifier which inhi-

bits and breaks down limescale. This is a

preventive against scale build-up and pro-

tects the metal walls of the boiler. Kalstop

FP2003 can be found in small appliance sto-

res, Polti service centres and on the web site

the mains power.

• After using the brushes, leave the bristles

to cool down in their natural position in or-

der to prevent any deformations.

• Periodically check the condition of the ga-

skets located in the unit plug (6). If neces-

sary, replace them with an approved spare

part. Also check the connection gaskets of

the extension tubes (9) and handle (2).

Use a damp cloth to clean the outside. Do

not use solvents or detergents because

they could damage the plastic surfaces.

CLEANING THE DIRT

CONTAINER UNIT (M)

• Turn off the appliance from the main

switch (B) and disconnect the power cord

(A) from the mains power.

• Release the locking lever of the dirt contai-

ner (L) and slide the container unit (M) to-

wards the outside of the appliance (fig. 3).

• Lift the cover of the dirt container (O).

CLEANING THE EPA FILTER (R)

• Turn the EPA filter (R) in an anti-clockwise

direction and pull it so that it detaches

from the filter cover (O) (fig. 9).

• Rinse the EPA filter under running water to

remove any dirt.

• Allow the filter to dry before reconnecting it

to the cover (O).

ATTENTION:

• Do not clean the filter with brushes, rags

or any object which may exert an abrasive

action, because rubbing or buffering may

damage it and consequently reduce its fil-

tering performance.

• Do not use detergents, do not rub the filter

and do not wash it in a dishwasher.

• To continue working, reassemble the filter

by following the above operations in re-

verse. The filter has a lifecycle of about

100 hours.

CLEANING U-SHAPED TUBE (S)

• Separate the “U-shaped” tube (S) from the

cover and rinse under running water.

Make sure that the small tube positioned

on the bottom of the “U-shaped” tube is

not obstructed. If so, separate it from the

“U-shaped” tube and wash under running

water to remove any obstructions.

• When replacing the “U-shaped” tube on

the cover of the dirt container, make sure

to position it by aligning the indent on the

tube with the indent on the cover (fig. 10).

CLEANING THE FLOAT (P)

When cleaning the dirt container unit (M),

make sure there are no obstructions or dirt

inside the float compartment.

If the float and its cage require cleaning, pro-

ceed as follows:

• Open the cage of the float by working on

the two tabs and remove the cover of the

float (Q) (fig. 11).

• Remove the float.

• Clean the float compartment, the float and

the cover and remove any dirt.

• Repeat these operations in reverse to

close everything.

EMPTYING OF TANKS

(I and J)

The water tank (I) and detergent tank (J) can

be conveniently emptied. To empty the tanks

proceed as follows:

• Pull the tube closest to the tank to be ope-

ned out from its fixing clip and empty the

tank of its contents.

Once the tank has been emptied, replace

the tube (fig. 12).
